On December 22, 2025, fresh updates around Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana–Gramin (PMAY-G) in Rajasthan put the spotlight back on a long-awaited question for thousands of rural households: when will the next instalment reach bank accounts? According to multiple reports, the Rajasthan government is preparing to transfer ₹100 crore via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) into the accounts of 18,500 PMAY-G beneficiaries, with the release scheduled for December 23, 2025. 1
The transfer is expected to be launched from a public event in Merta (Nagaur district), where Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma is slated to initiate the DBT process digitally during a farmers’ conference around 1 pm on December 23. 1
The December 22 update: what exactly has been announced?
The key announcement being reported is straightforward but significant for families waiting to complete or accelerate their house construction:
- Total amount: ₹100 crore
- Beneficiaries: 18,500 PMAY-G applicants/beneficiaries
- Mode: DBT to verified bank accounts
- Date & venue: December 23, 2025, from the farmers’ conference in Merta, Nagaur, with the launch expected around 1 pm 1
For PMAY-G beneficiaries, timing matters because the scheme’s assistance is typically released in instalments aligned with construction milestones—and delays in one stage can slow everything from roofing to finishing work. 2
Why this instalment matters for rural families
For many rural households, PMAY-G support is not just a government benefit—it’s the difference between a kutcha structure and a pucca home with better protection from winter, monsoon, and extreme heat. In Rajasthan, where rural housing demand remains high, instalments help beneficiaries pay for essentials like materials, labour, and basic finishing work. 1
The broader intent—helping houseless families and those living in dilapidated or kutcha houses move toward safer housing—has also been reiterated in official policy framing around PMAY-G at the national level. 3
Rajasthan PMAY-G progress: where the state stands right now
Alongside the payment update, reports also cited Rajasthan’s larger PMAY-G implementation numbers:
- Target: 24,97,121 houses
- Registrations: 24,35,942
- Approvals: 24,33,490
- Completed (as of Dec 11): 18,07,863 1
These figures point to substantial progress—but they also underline why instalment cycles are closely tracked: large volumes of sanctioned houses can still be at different construction stages, and fund releases follow that pipeline. 2
Who typically gets priority under PMAY-G?
Several reports around the Rajasthan transfer note that beneficiary selection and priority are guided by criteria that often favor the most vulnerable households—especially Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and women-headed families. 1
At the national level, a Lok Sabha reply states that a minimum 60% of targets are earmarked for SC/ST households, subject to availability of eligible beneficiaries in the permanent wait list, and it also emphasizes women’s empowerment through allotments in a woman’s name or jointly in the name of husband and wife (with specific exceptions). 4
Important context: Being eligible for PMAY-G and receiving instalments can still depend on where a beneficiary is in the construction process and whether required verification steps are completed. 2
How much assistance does PMAY-G provide per house?
The PMAY-G framework (at the national level) has been described in official releases and parliamentary replies as providing:
- ₹1.20 lakh unit assistance in plain areas
- ₹1.30 lakh unit assistance in NER/Hill States and specified UTs 3
A Lok Sabha reply also notes additional convergence support such as ₹12,000 for toilets (via convergence) and the requirement of 90/95 person-days of unskilled wage employment through convergence with MGNREGA for PMAY-G beneficiaries. 2
This matters when reading “₹100 crore for 18,500 beneficiaries”: the ₹100 crore is a total pool reported for a specific release event, while individual credit amounts can vary depending on the instalment stage and verification status. 2
How to check if your name is on the PMAY-G beneficiary list
If you applied under PMAY-G in Rajasthan and want to know whether you’re in the group expected to receive funds, reports advise checking the beneficiary status online through the PMAY-G portal workflow:
- Go to the official PMAY-G website
- Open the Stakeholders section
- Select IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary
- Enter your registration number and the captcha, then submit to view your status 5
Because beneficiary lists and instalment statuses can update in phases, this check is especially relevant around instalment dates like December 23 when many applicants search to confirm whether they are on the current disbursal list. 5
What if the money doesn’t arrive on Dec 23?
Several reports emphasize a practical point: don’t panic if your account isn’t credited immediately. Payments can be released in phases, and some eligible households may be in a waiting list or may have instalments pending due to stage verification. 1
There’s also an official procedural reason this can happen. A Lok Sabha reply explains that release of instalments is dependent on completion of predetermined construction stages and the uploading of geo-tagged, time/date-stamped photographs of the stage on the system via AwaasSoft/AwaasApp. 2
Practical checklist if your PMAY-G instalment is delayed
If your expected instalment doesn’t show up:
- Re-check your status on the PMAY-G beneficiary lookup using your registration number. 5
- Confirm your bank details are correct and active for DBT (PMAY-G releases are routed to verified accounts). 2
- Ask your local office whether your case is pending because of construction-stage verification or photo uploads. 2
- Use official grievance channels if needed: a Lok Sabha reply notes that PMAY-G guidelines provide for grievance redressal mechanisms at multiple administrative levels (Gram Panchayat, Block, District, State). 4
The bigger national picture on Dec 22: why “completion” and “stages” keep coming up
The Rajasthan instalment news fits into a recurring nationwide theme in PMAY reporting: funds and completion move together. On December 22, a separate report from Jammu & Kashmir’s Doda district said nearly 30,000 houses have been built under PMAY there, while some remained pending at different stages—citing beneficiary delays in starting construction even after receiving payment. 6
That mirrors what many PMAY-G beneficiaries experience across states: instalments can be available, but timely construction progress and verification steps often decide whether the next tranche moves quickly. 2
What beneficiaries should watch next
With the DBT launch scheduled for December 23 in Merta, beneficiaries (and applicants tracking their status) will likely focus on three immediate signals:
- Whether their name appears in the beneficiary lookup/status page 5
- Whether the credited amount reflects an instalment tied to their construction stage 2
- Whether their records are complete and verified, so the instalment isn’t held back due to documentation or stage compliance 2
Bottom line
The December 22, 2025 update around PM Awas Yojana Gramin in Rajasthan points to a major instalment push: ₹100 crore is set to be credited via DBT to 18,500 beneficiaries, with the launch scheduled for December 23 from Merta (Nagaur). 1
For beneficiaries, the most important action now is simple: check your PMAY-G status using your registration number, and remember that instalment timing can depend on verification and construction-stage milestones. 5
