The Bihar government has launched the Chief Minister’s Rural Housing Scheme for needy SC, ST, and Extremely Backward Class (ABBC) families who, for some reason, have not been able to access the Prime Minister’s Housing Scheme (PMAY). The primary goal of this innovative scheme is to provide these families with a new, safe, and permanent roof. If you too want to transform your dilapidated home into a haven by receiving direct financial assistance of ₹120,000, this information is crucial.
How much financial assistance will be available under the Chief Minister’s Rural Housing Scheme
Under this ambitious scheme, the Bihar government provides a total financial assistance of ₹120,000 to beneficiaries. This amount is transferred directly to your bank account (DBT) in three easy installments, ensuring complete transparency.
The installments will be released as follows:
You will receive ₹40,000 in the first installment.
An amount of ₹40,000 will be released again in the second installment.
The remaining ₹40,000 will be provided in the third installment.
This financial assistance will provide unprecedented support to beneficiaries in demolishing their old homes and constructing new, safe housing.

Only families who meet the prescribed eligibility criteria can benefit from this scheme. First, the applicant must be a resident of a rural area. They must belong to the SC, ST, or Extremely Backward Class category. Furthermore, the applicant’s home must have been built under a government cluster housing scheme before January 1996. The most important condition is that the applicant’s home must currently be dilapidated or in a dilapidated condition.
