**Note:** Beneficiaries are identified using the "Housing Deprivation Parameters" from the Socio-Economic and Caste Census (SECC) 2011 [[https://secc.gov.in/]](https://secc.gov.in/), further verified by the Gram Sabhas.

> **Prioritisation within the Universe**
i. There will be multilayered prioritization within the universe of eligible PMAY-G beneficiaries. Priority will first be assigned on the basis of parameters reflecting housing deprivation in each category viz., SC/ST, Minorities, and Others.
ii. To begin with, households will be prioritized based on houselessness followed by the number of rooms; zero, one, and two rooms, in that order.
iii. In a particular social category viz., SC/ST, Minorities, and Others, households that are houseless or living in houses with a lower number of rooms shall not be ranked below households living in houses with a higher number of rooms.
Within the above priority groups, households that fulfill the criteria of "compulsory inclusion", will be further elevated. Automatically included households shall not rank lower than other households within a priority group. Inter-se priority within the two subgroups viz. households which are automatically included and otherwise will be determined based on their cumulative deprivation scores.
The scores will be calculated from the socio-economic parameters given below with each having equal weight:
i. Households with no adult member between ages 16 to 59
ii. Female-headed households with no adult male member between ages 16 to 59
iii. Households with no literate adult above 25 year
