Principal commissioner (housing), DDA, JP Agarwal said “”The scheme has been linked with the Pradhanmantri Awas Yojna which means people fulfilling the criteria will get subsidy in the interest when they take a bank loan” he further added that “For a person to be applicable to get the benefits of Pradhanmantri Awas Yojna, one should not have a concrete house in Delhi, their income should be under Rs 3 lakh annually if they are applying for houses under EWS category. Besides, there are other riders.”
