Proof of Address (POA) and Proof of Identity (POI) certificates are essential documents

These are very important documents for all applicants of the PMAY. The government has clearly specified some documents as POF and POI and every applicant needs to submit these documents. The identity and uniqueness of the applicant are established by the POI certificates. The present and permanent address of the application is established by the POA certificates.

Which are the documents that PMAY accepts as proof of address and identity?  For POI, you can produce Driving License, Aadhar Card, Pan Card and Voters Identity Card.  Documents such as Telephone bill, Electricity bill, Bank passbook, Voter ID card, and Driving License.

Produce relevant documents for income proof

Since the prime objective of PMAY is to provide housing requirements of the Indian citizens, especially backward classes and people with lower income; the potential beneficiaries must o submit the income certificate. If the income of the applicant does not stay in the taxable limit, self-declaration of low-income certificate or economically weaker section certificate has to be submitted. Monthly salaried people should produce a recent original salary statement and IT return statements as well.
