Assam government has rolled out an ambitious AMFIRS Microfinance Loan Waiver Scheme for women. The new scheme namely, Assam Micro Finance Incentive and Relief Scheme 2021 is likely to benefit around 24 lakh women across the state. CM Himanta Biswa Sarma has launched Assam Microfinance Loan Maaf Yojana on 28 November 2021.

Assam Micro Finance Incentive and Relief Scheme (AMFIRS) 2021

CM announced the beginning of Assam Micro Finance Incentive and Relief Scheme 2021 (AMFIRS) on Nov 28 and ceremonially handed over cheques to five beneficiaries from Sonitpur district. CM mentioned that “We are able to fulfil our election promise of microfinance loan relief within 6 months from returning to power and the state government will continue to march forward with the same zeal in the future as well.”

Assam Microfinance Loan Maaf Benefits

The Assam Microfinance Loan Maaf Scheme 2021 will benefit 24 lakh women in the state. Around 59,468 of the beneficiaries of AMFIRS Microfinance Loan Waiver Scheme will be from Sonitpur district who will receive a one-time incentive amounting from Rs. 16,000 to Rs 25,000 each.

AMFIRS Microfinance Loan Waiver Scheme Phase 1 Launch

The chief minister inaugurated the first phase of AMFIRS Microfinance Loan Waiver Scheme for those borrowers, who have been repaying their debt regularly. CM said “They will be provided with a one-time incentive up to Rs. 25,000 or the outstanding balance, whichever is less. This is an incentive for them to maintain good credit discipline. Altogether, 11 lakh women will benefit in this phase of the programme”.

On 29 November and 30 November 2021, beneficiaries of eight districts — Sonitpur, Charaideo, Sivasagar, Jorhat, Majuli, Golaghat, West Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao — are provided with their due incentives through account payee cheques. The Assam Cabinet had on 30 September 2021 approved Rs. 1,800 crore to waive microfinance loans availed by poor women in the first phase.

Assam Microfinance Loan Maaf Scheme Phase 2

In the second stage, benefits of Assam Microfinance Loan Maaf Scheme will be extended to borrowers whose payments are overdue by less than 90 days and loan accounts are not classified as non-performing assets (NPA). The state government will pay the overdue amounts to borrowers in these cases. Borrowers whose accounts have become NPA will be covered in the third phase of Assam Micro Finance Incentive and Relief Scheme 2021. The government will consider providing partial or full relief based on evaluation.

Pre Election Promise for Assam Microfinance Loan Waiver Scheme

During the assembly election campaign in March-April 2021, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma had said all the microfinance loans of women would be waived if the BJP-led coalition returned to power, but after assuming the office he said it was a “political statement, but not a government promise”. The opposition parties had attacked the government for its “U-turn” in waiving the loans as promised by the BJP and said the saffron party has “cheated” the people.

The state government had on August 24 signed an agreement with 38 microfinance institutions and banks for a Rs 12,000-crore AMFIRS. While presenting the state budget for 2021-22, Assam Finance Minister Ajanta Neog had said almost 26 lakh borrowers took loans worth Rs 12,500 crore from various MFIs and the bulk of this portfolio is in rural areas.

Principles and Objectives of PM ARHC Scheme 2021

The central govt. has launched PM ARHC scheme with the following principles and objectives:-

1. To address the vision of “AatmaNirbhar Bharat Abhiyan” significantly by creating a sustainable ecosystem of affordable rental housing solutions for urban migrants/ poor.
2. To achieve overall objective of “Housing for All” encompassing the need of affordable rental housing for urban migrants/ poor. ARHCs will provide them dignified living with necessary civic amenities near their place of work.
3. To create a conducive environment by incentivizing Public/ Private Entities to leverage investment for creating affordable rental housing stock to take care of their own requirements for workforce and also cater to neighboring areas, if they have available vacant land.

Coverage and Duration of Affordable Rental Housing Complex Scheme

A) ARHCs will be implemented in all Statutory Towns as per Census 2011 and Towns notified subsequently, Notified Planning Areas and areas of Development/ Special Area Development/ Industrial Development Authorities. States/UTs may consider any project as ARHCs in any other areas after due notification.

B) Projects under ARHCs will be applicable for consideration and funding till PMAY (U) Mission period i.e. March 2022.

C) Projects approved during the Mission period will continue for another 18 months to enable fund release and completion of projects.

Major Beneficiaries of Affordable Rental Housing Complexes Scheme

Beneficiaries for ARHCs will be from Economically Weaker Section (EWS)/ Low Income Group (LIG) who are urban migrants / poor. They include labour, urban poor (street vendors, rickshaw pullers, other service providers etc.), industrial workers, and migrants working with market / trade associations, educational / health institutions, hospitality sector, long term tourists /

Cabinet Approval for ARHCs Scheme under PM Awas Yojana

An affordable rental housing scheme for migrants who went back to their home states during the COVID-19 lockdown had been approved by the Cabinet on 8 July 2020. The Affordable Rental Housing Complexes (ARHCs) Scheme under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) will be a sub-scheme under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban). The ARHC scheme will be implemented with an estimated expenditure of Rs. 600 crore. Initially, ARHC scheme aims to cover around 3 lakh beneficiaries.

What is the Need for PM Affordable Rental Housing Complexes Scheme

Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in massive reverse migration of workers and urban poor in the country. These labourers come from rural areas or small towns for seeking better employment opportunities in urban areas. Usually, these migrants live in slums, informal / unauthorized colonies or peri-urban areas to save rental charges. They spend a lot of time on roads by walking/ cycling to workplaces, risking their lives to cut on the expenses.

A large part of workforce in manufacturing industries, service providers in hospitality, health, domestic/commercial establishments, and construction or other sectors, labourers, students etc who come from rural areas or small towns seeking better opportunities will be the target beneficiary under ARHCs.

Affordable Rental Housing Complexes Scheme Details

Govt. has launched this ARHC Scheme under PM Awas Yojana to ensure ease of living at affordable rent by the following measures:-

• Converting government funded housing in the cities (JnNURM / RAY) into Affordable Rental Housing Complexes (ARHC) under PPP mode through concessionaire.
• Incentivizing manufacturing units, industries, institutions, associations to develop Affordable Rental Housing Complex (ARHC) on their private land and operate.
• Incentivizing State Government Agencies / Central Government Organizations on the similar lines to develop Affordable Rental Housing Complexes (ARHC) and operate.
  

Implementation of ARHC Scheme 2021

The ARHC scheme will have a 2 pronged approach for the effective implementation. First is the existing vacant government funded housing complexes will be converted into ARHCs through a concession agreement for 25 years. As per the official data, there are 1.2 lakh such govt. houses available under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), PMAY and other state govt’s housing schemes. Out of these, Maharashtra has 35,000 accommodations while Delhi has 30,000 accommodations.

Concessionaire will make the complexes livable by repair/retrofit and maintenance of rooms. Moreover, govt. will fill up infrastructure gaps like water, sewer/ septage, sanitation, roads among others. States/UTs will select concessionaire through transparent bidding. Complexes will revert to Urban Local Bodies after 25 years to restart the next cycle earlier or to run on their own.

Secondly, special incentives like use permission, 50% additional Floor Area Ratio or Floor Space Index, concessional loan at priority sector lending rates, tax reliefs at par with affordable housing among others will be offered to private and public entities to develop ARHCs on their own available vacant land for 25 years. ARHCs will create a new ecosystem in urban areas making housing available at affordable rent close to places of work and will cut down unnecessary travel, congestion and pollution.

New Job Opportunities through ARHC Scheme

The investment under ARHCs is expected to create new job opportunities. Government funded vacant housing stock will be converted into ARHCs for economically productive use. ARHC scheme would create a conducive environment for entities to develop AHRCs on their own vacant land which will enable new investment opportunities and promote entrepreneurship in rental housing sector.
