How to Check Your Name in the PMAY Beneficiary List
After submitting your application for Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), one of the most important steps is verifying whether your name has been included in the beneficiary list. The government maintains an official online portal where you can easily check your application status and beneficiary details at any time.
Methods to Check PMAY Beneficiary Status
There are three primary ways to search for your name in the PMAY beneficiary list:
- By Application ID / Registration Number
- By Aadhaar Number
- By Name and Mobile Number
Method 1: Check via Official PMAY-Urban Portal
Step 1: Go to the Official Portal
Visit pmaymis.gov.in — the official Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs portal for PMAY-Urban.
Step 2: Click on "Search Beneficiary"
On the homepage navigation bar, locate and click on "Search Beneficiary", then select "Search by Name".
Step 3: Enter Your Details
Enter at least the first three characters of your name as registered in the application. A list of matching names will appear along with relevant details like state, city, and application status.
Step 4: Verify Your Entry
Cross-reference your name with your Aadhaar number, father's name, or registered mobile number to confirm the correct entry. Note the application status shown next to your name.
Method 2: Check by Application/Assessment ID
