Beware of Fake Claims Over PMAY-G Lists; Check Official Records Only

Mathura, October 2, 2026: As the central government continues to implement the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana – Gramin (PMAY-G) to provide permanent housing to underprivileged families residing in kachcha structures, a rising wave of misinformation is targeting rural residents. Recent observations indicate that several unauthorized private websites, have been actively circulating misleading titles claiming to offer direct access to the 2026 PMAY-G beneficiary lists. These portals often prompt users to input personal information under the guise of checking their eligibility or enrollment status.

MathuraNow has conducted a comprehensive ground report to clarify the distinction between official government processes and deceptive online practices. It is critical for residents of Mathura and surrounding regions to understand that no private application or third-party website has the authority to update, modify, or even reliably verify the official list of beneficiaries. The selection process for this housing scheme is strictly governed by data from the Socio-Economic and Caste Census (SECC) 2011 and official Awaas+ surveys, with final verification performed exclusively at the Gram Panchayat level.

How to Verify Status Through Official Channels

To ensure that citizens do not fall victim to phishing or identity theft, the administration mandates the use of designated government portals for all inquiries. Residents looking to check their names in the beneficiary database should only access the official websites, specifically pmayg.nic.in or rhreporting.nic.in. The verification process is entirely transparent and free of charge.

Users should follow these steps on the official portal: Navigate to the ‘Awaassoft’ menu on the home page and select the ‘Reports’ option. Within the reports section, proceed to ‘H. Social Audit Reports’ and click on ‘Beneficiary Details for Verification.’ From there, select the appropriate state—Uttar Pradesh—followed by the district of Mathura, the specific block, and the relevant Gram Panchayat. After selecting the required financial year, such as 2025-26 or 2026, and choosing ‘Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana Gramin’ from the scheme list, input the captcha code to view the authentic, verified list for your village.

Financial Assistance and Eligibility Criteria

The PMAY-G scheme is structured to provide direct financial support to eligible beneficiaries through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). For those living in plain regions, the government provides financial assistance of ₹1.20 lakh for house construction, while for residents in hilly or remote areas, this amount is ₹1.30 lakh. This fund is disbursed in installments linked to the physical progress of the house construction, which is verified through geo-tagging to ensure complete transparency.

Beyond the primary housing assistance, the scheme offers supplementary support, including ₹12,000 for the construction of toilets under the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM). Beneficiaries must remain cautious; any person or platform demanding money to expedite an application or to guarantee placement on the list is committing fraud. The entire application and verification process is completely free for all citizens.

Community Vigilance Against Digital Fraud

MathuraNow strongly urges the public to refrain from providing personal data, including contact details or messages, to any unverified mobile applications or websites. If a resident encounters any individual demanding payment in exchange for inclusion in the housing scheme, they should immediately report the matter to their local Gram Panchayat or Block office. This report is issued in the public interest to promote digital literacy and ensure that government benefits reach the intended recipients without the risk of financial exploitation or the compromise of sensitive personal information.
