The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The CLSS scheme under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Housing for All – Urban) categorizes households based on their annual income.
According to the 2017 operational guidelines, Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) are defined as families having an annual household income of up to ₹3,00,000.
This classification determines eligibility for government-subsidized housing loans.
The other income groups are:
– LIG (Low Income Group): ₹3,00,001 to ₹6,00,000
– MIG-I: ₹6,00,001 to ₹12,00,000
– MIG-II: ₹12,00,001 to ₹18,00,000
Therefore, Option (C) correctly matches the official income ceiling for EWS households.
