Under the Indiramma Indlu order (G.O.Ms.No.7 of 2024) and the Housing Corporation's circulars, the beneficiary must be a resident of the village or town, and the check looks at whether the person lives there with the family or has migrated. They do not say how someone living in another state is treated. Ask the Panchayat Secretary (in a village), the ward officer (in a town) or the MPDO / Municipal Commissioner's office of the place in Telangana where you would apply.

The Indiramma Indlu order (G.O.Ms.No.7 of 2024) and the Housing Corporation's circulars do not mention Indian citizens living abroad. Under them the beneficiary must be a resident of the village or town, and the check looks at whether the person lives there with the family or has migrated. The order also says the family must be below the poverty line (BPL), decided by its food security card. Before applying, ask the Panchayat Secretary (in a village), the ward officer (in a town) or the MPDO / Municipal Commissioner's office whether the scheme applies to you.

The Indiramma Indlu order (G.O.Ms.No.7 of 2024) and the Housing Corporation's circulars do not mention OCI cardholders. Under them the beneficiary must be a resident of the village or town, and the check looks at whether the person lives there with the family or has migrated. The order also says the family must be below the poverty line (BPL), decided by its food security card. Under the Ministry of Home Affairs notification S.O. 1050(E) of 4 March 2021, an OCI cardholder is a foreign national, not an Indian citizen, and in economic, financial and educational fields the notification does not name has the same rights as a foreigner. Before applying, ask the Panchayat Secretary (in a village), the ward officer (in a town) or the MPDO / Municipal Commissioner's office whether the scheme applies to you.

A house is sanctioned only on your own site (or one given by the government). People who meet every other condition but have no site are marked eligible and placed in List 2; they are not sanctioned in the first phase, though the details may be used in later phases.
→ In the Core Urban Region (CURE) around Hyderabad, the Telangana Housing Board is building flats for EWS/LIG families under the name "Indiramma Indlu" (G.O.Ms.No.37 of 2026). Its application status is on the Housing Board website (tghb.telangana.gov.in).

Families who own a pucca (RCC slab) house are not eligible. One exception: if your own RCC house is small and several married couples (families) live in it together, the surveyor may mark you eligible. If so, ask the Panchayat Secretary or ward officer.

The scheme does not pay for construction already under way; it pays only for houses started afresh from the ground after the sanction (Housing Corporation circular of 01-02-2025). The 2026 exception (G.O.Rt.No.96) covers only people who had built up to the basement.
→ The 2026 relaxation can cover people who built up to the basement under the old Indiramma scheme, Gruhalaxmi or on their own. Ask about your case at the gram panchayat or municipal ward office; helpline 1800 599 5991.

After each stage an official photographs it on the app; the mandal-level engineer (the Checker) checks it and the Collector approves the payment.
The money goes to your Aadhaar-linked bank account (APBS). ₹5,00,000 in all: ₹1,00,000 at basement level; ₹1,00,000 when the walls reach roof level; ₹2,00,000 when the roof is cast; ₹1,00,000 when the house is complete. For a house in a village, this ₹5,00,000 includes ₹27,000 paid as employment guarantee (NREGS) wages (₹12,000 for 40 days when the basement is done, ₹15,000 for 50 days at roof level) and ₹12,000 for the toilet under Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) at roof level (G.O.Ms.No.57, 19-08-2025). The order does not say how much less each stage payment above then is; ask the housing official.

The table in G.O.Ms.No.57 gives the village amounts as 0.12, 0.15, 0.27 and 0.12 without a unit; we read them as lakhs of rupees (₹12,000, ₹15,000, ₹27,000 and ₹12,000). Ask the housing official to confirm the amounts.

Because the basement is already built, there is no basement-stage payment.
The remaining ₹4,00,000 is paid in three stages to your Aadhaar-linked bank account: ₹1,00,000 when the walls reach roof level; ₹2,00,000 when the roof is cast; ₹1,00,000 when the work is finished.
Not confirmed
For a house in a village, G.O.Ms.No.57 (19-08-2025) puts employment guarantee (NREGS) wages and the toilet money under Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) inside the scheme’s ₹5,00,000; at roof level its table shows 0.15 for 50 days of wages and 0.12 for the toilet, with no unit (we read them as ₹15,000 and ₹12,000). The order for resumed basements (G.O.Rt.No.96, 17-02-2026) does not say whether this ₹4,00,000 includes them. Ask the housing official.
