Published by http://all-loan.blogspot.com/
Credit-Linked Subsidy Scheme
The Mission, in order to expand institutional credit flow to the housing needs of urban
poor will implement credit linked subsidy component as a demand side intervention. Credit
linked subsidy will be provided on home loans taken by eligible urban poor (EWS/LIG) for
acquisition, construction of house.
5.1 Beneficiaries of Economically Weaker section (EWS) and Low Income Group (LIG) seeking
housing loans from Banks, Housing Finance Companies and other such institutions would be
eligible for an interest subsidy at the rate of 6.5 % for a tenure of 15 years or during tenure
of loan whichever is lower. The Net Present Value (NPV) of the interest subsidy will be
calculated at a discount rate of 9 %.
5.2 The credit linked subsidy will be available only for loan amounts upto Rs 6 lakhs and additional
loans beyond Rs. 6 lakhs, if any, will be at nonsubsidized rate. Interest subsidy will be
credited upfront to the loan account of beneficiaries through lending institutions resulting
in reduced effective housing loan and Equated Monthly Instalment (EMI).

5.3 Credit linked subsidy would be available for housing loans availed for new construction and
addition of rooms, kitchen, toilet etc. to existing dwellings as incremental housing. The carpet
area of houses being constructed under this component of the mission should be upto 30
square metres and 60 square metres for EWS and LIG, respectively in order to avail of this
credit linked subsidy. The beneficiary, at his/her discretion, can build a house of larger area
but interest subvention would be limited to first Rs. 6 lakh only.
5.4 Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO) and National Housing Bank (NHB)
have been identified as Central Nodal Agencies (CNAs) to channelize this subsidy to the
lending institutions and for monitoring the progress of this component. Ministry may notify
other institutions as CNA in future.
5.5 Primary Lending Institutions (PLIs) can register only with one CNA by signing MoU as provided
in Annexure 1.
5.6 CNAs will be responsible for ensuring proper implementation and monitoring of the scheme
and will put in place appropriate mechanisms for the purpose. CNAs will provide periodic
monitoring inputs to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation through regular
monthly and quarterly reports as per Annexure 2.
5.7 State/UTs/ULBs/PLIs shall link beneficiary identification to Aadhaar, Voter card, any other
unique identification or a certificate of house ownership from Revenue Authority of Beneficiary’s
native district to avoid duplication.
5.8 Preference under the Scheme, subject to beneficiaries being from EWS/LIG segments, should
be given to Manual Scavengers, Women (with overriding preference to widows), persons
belonging to Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes/Other Backward Classes, Minorities, Persons
with disabilities and Transgender.
5.9 State Level Nodal Agency (SLNA) identified by State/UT for implementing the mission will
facilitate the identified eligible beneficiaries in getting approvals and documents, etc. to avail
of credit linked subsidy.
5.10 For identification as an EWS or LIG beneficiary under the scheme, an individual loan applicant
will submit self-certificate/affidavit as proof of income.
5.11 In case a borrower who has taken a housing loan and availed of interest subvention under
the scheme but later on switches to another PLI for balance transfer, such beneficiary will
not be eligible or claim the benefit of interest subvention again.
5.12 Under the Mission, beneficiaries can take advantage under one component only. Since other
three components are to be implemented by State Government through Urban Local Bodies/
Authorities etc. and this component is to be implemented by PLIs, therefore, in order that
beneficiaries do not take advantage of more than one component, PLIs should take NOCs
quarterly from State/UT Governments or designated agency of State/UT Governments for
the list of beneficiaries being given benefits under credit linked subsidy. For enabling this
process, the beneficiaries should be linked to his/her Aadhaar/Voter ID Card/Any other
unique identification Number or a certificate of house ownership from Revenue Authority
of Beneficiary’s native district and State/UT Government or its designated agency should
furnish the NOC within 15 days of receipt of such request.
