IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary Status: How to Check Online in 2026

Key Takeaways

• PMAY-G, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Gramin, absorbed the older IAY, Indira Awaas Yojana, records, so both show up in the same unified beneficiary search.
• The scheme now runs through 2028-29 under PMAY-G 2.0, targeting 4.95 crore rural homes in total, with over 2.99 crore already completed as of early 2026.
• The original beneficiary base came from SECC 2011 data. The Awaas Plus 2024 survey exists specifically to add eligible rural families who were missed in that older survey.
• Beneficiary status shows sanction details, instalment release status and physical construction progress, not just a yes or no on eligibility.
• There is no single downloadable master list PDF. The portal generates a Gram Panchayat-specific list on demand instead.

PMAY-G and IAY: how the two names connect

IAY was the earlier rural housing scheme. PMAY-G replaced it from 2016, and both legacy IAY records and current PMAY-G records sit in the same beneficiary database today, searched together under IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary on the portal.

How to check your beneficiary status with a registration number

• Go to pmayg.nic.in and open the Stakeholders menu.
• Select IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary.
• Enter your registration number, given at the time of the housing survey or application.
• Submit to view sanction status, instalment release and construction progress

How to check without a registration number

• Use the Advanced Search option on the same beneficiary page.
• Select your State, District, Block and Gram Panchayat.
• Browse the generated list for your name, father or husband name, and household details.
• Use your browser's Print to Save as PDF option to keep a copy, since there is no direct download button for this report.

Checking through the UMANG app

Download the UMANG app, log in with a registered mobile number, search PMAY-G, select Beneficiary Details, and enter your Aadhaar or registration number. The app also shows Panchayat-wise permanent waiting lists updated for the current financial year.

What each field in your beneficiary record means

What to do if your name is missing or a payment shows released but never arrived

Check the Permanent Waiting List for your Panchayat first, since being missing from the beneficiary list may simply mean you are still in queue, not rejected. For a fund-release mismatch, raise it with the Gram Panchayat or Block office. Under Section 4(2) of the RTI Act, 2005, beneficiary lists of schemes like PMAY-G are meant to be proactively disclosed, which gives you grounds for an RTI request if local records look incomplete.
