The Bihar Awas Yojana List 2026 brings important updates for rural households awaiting housing assistance under the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana - Gramin (PMAY-G) scheme. Beneficiaries can now check village-wise names and verify their status through newly updated survey procedures and local administration offices across the state.
Overview of Bihar Awas Yojana 2026
The Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana - Gramin is a flagship rural housing initiative administered by the Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India. For the year 2026, the central government has approved a significant allocation of 11,18,937 houses for Bihar. Eligible families selected under the scheme are slated to receive financial assistance amounting to ₹1.20 lakh for the construction of a pucca house.
Unlike legacy lists that only feature older sanctioned houses, the ongoing update incorporates findings from the comprehensive Awas Plus 2024 survey. Gram sabhas across various districts have been actively reviewing draft priority lists to ensure transparency and accountability at the grassroots level.

Verification and Eligibility Process
The creation of the final priority list involves stringent verification checks at the local level. Gram sabhas throughout Bihar evaluate each registered family against specific exclusion rules to remove ineligible names and validate genuine candidates. In instances where gram sabhas could not convene on the scheduled date—such as in certain panchayats within the Bihiya block of Bhojpur—local authorities have arranged alternative dates through the Block Development Officer (BDO) office.
Families whose names do not appear in the initial drafts have the opportunity to raise objections. Objections can be submitted in writing to the panchayat secretary or directly to the BDO. Additionally, draft lists are physically pasted at respective panchayat bhavans for public inspection.
How to Check Your Name on the List
- Visit your local Panchayat Bhawan where the physical draft priority list is displayed.
- Consult the designated Awas Sahayak or Mukhiya for village-specific details.
- Check with the BDO office if your panchayat experienced delays in conducting the gram sabha.
- Access online updates and tracking services via the official portal at pmayg.dord.gov.in.
