Yes, you may apply for the PMAY subsidy if you are single, however there are different criteria. Unmarried men can make use of the PMAY subsidy if their mother is the co-applicant. In some cases they may apply when there is no surviving woman in the family. Unmarried women unfortunately cannot apply for the PMAY subsidy.
In order to get PMAY subsidy you must successfully qualify for a home loan.
The entire subsidy will be given upfront to the housing finance company. This will result in a reduction in the housing loan amount and consequently the EMI will also reduce.
If the roof of your village house is not made of concrete, it is not considered a ‘pucca’ house, but you will still qualify for the housing subsidy.
STEP 1: First you book a flat and apply for a housing loan
STEP 2: Bank sanctions your loan
STEP 3: Registration of the agreement
STEP 5: Your housing finance company / bank submits the claim of the subsidy to National Housing Bank
STEP 6: National Housing Bank transfers the amount to your bank

The bank will receive the subsidy within 3 months of the application.
