Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme(CLSS) Tracker
Earlier there was no provision for Primary Lending Institution (PLI) and beneficiaries to track the application status for interest subsidy. Due to processing of application in batches, subsidy release was delayed which resulted in inconvenience to public. To address this issue the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has come up with a web based real time monitoring system CLSS Awas Portal (CLAP). It is common platform where all stakeholders like MoHUA, Central Nodal Agencies, PLIs, Beneficiaries and Citizens are integrated.
Individuals will not have to run to banks to check the status of their application. There are 5 stages which have been incorporated in CLSS tracker as mentioned below.
Step 1: The Application id is generated and due diligence done by the Housing finance companies
Step 2: Claim is uploaded on the Central Nodal Agency -CNA periodically to raise the subsidy claim. After this stage the customers can start tracking their subsidy claim status online.
CLSS AWAS Portal (“CLAP”) at https://pmayuclap.gov.in/ has a tracking system for beneficiaries to track their application status after entering Application ID Cxxxxxxxxxxx and an OTP code ( Note : CLAP will send Application ID and an OTP Code on registered mobile number of borrower / co-borrower ).
Step 3: NHB cross-checks the data on the basis of PMAY scheme norms and approves / rejects the claim
Step 4: NHBreleases the subsidy in favor of the HFC (Housing finance company)
Step 5: Subsidy is transferred into the loan account of the customer and the EMl of the customer is reduced.
The HFC (Housing Finance Company) acts as an enabler in availing the subsidy scheme. The final decision of the sanction lies with the regulatory bodies.
