PM Awas Yojana- Every person dreams of having a house of his own, where he can live peacefully with his family. When this dream remains unfulfilled due to lack of money, the Government of India helps in fulfilling this dream through Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. Under this scheme, financial assistance is given to the economically weaker sections to get pucca houses.
This assistance is given free of cost to the beneficiaries as per the eligibility set by the government, but it has been seen many times that some brokers and fake people demand money to provide benefits in the name of this scheme. In such cases, the government has given clear instructions that no fee of any kind is charged and if someone asks for money from you, then a complaint can be made immediately.

If citizens wishing to avail the benefits under PM Awas Yojana find that someone is asking for money from them or committing fraud, they should immediately complain about it. You can make this complaint to your Gram Panchayat, Block, District, or State level officials. There is a strong grievance redressal system under this scheme, in which after receiving the complaint, the concerned officials take immediate action on it.
When is the complaint resolved?
After filing a complaint, the government has ensured that the complaint is resolved within 45 days. If the complaint is not resolved within the stipulated time, the beneficiary can contact the local housing assistant or block development officer of his area and file the complaint again there. This process is completely transparent and there should be no delay in it, if there is still a delay, then it can be informed at the higher level.
