Having a home of one’s own is a dream for many families. But for low-income households, this can feel impossible. To address this, the Telangana Government 2BHK Scheme (also known as the Double Bedroom Housing Scheme) was introduced to provide free, fully built 2-bedroom homes to the poor.

Let’s understand how the scheme works and who can benefit from it.

What Is the 2BHK Scheme?

The Telangana 2BHK Scheme was launched in 2015 to provide dignified housing to the underprivileged. Under this scheme:

• Each house has 2 bedrooms, 1 hall, 1 kitchen, and 2 bathrooms
• Entire cost of construction is borne by the government
• No loan or EMI is involved

It targets those who live in huts, temporary shelters, or overcrowded rooms.

Did you know there are multiple schemes that will help you save electricity and reduce dependency on the grid? You can even earn money by giving excess power back. Read our blog on government solar panel schemes to know more!

Who Is Eligible?

To apply for the scheme, you must:

• Be a resident of Telangana
• Belong to a Below Poverty Line (BPL) household
• Possess a valid food security card
• Not already own a permanent house in the state
• Preference is given to: SC/ST, minorities, disabled, single women, and senior citizens

There is currently no dedicated online portal for individual applications. Most allocations happen via local MLAs and district-level surveys. Still, here’s how you can try:

1. Visit your local MeeSeva centre or Mandal office
2. Ask for the 2BHK scheme application process
3. Submit a written request along with:

1. Your application will be added to the local database for review

How Are Allotments Decided?

The final selection is made by a District Level Committee (DLC). They review all applications, verify the documents, and prepare a beneficiary list.

The list is often approved and monitored by local MLAs. Priority is given to families living in poor housing conditions.

Is the 2BHK Scheme Really Free?

Yes. The entire construction cost is covered by the government. Beneficiaries don’t pay anything.

However, you cannot sell the house immediately. There may be restrictions on resale or transfer for a number of years.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How many houses have been distributed so far?

As of early 2025, over 2.9 lakh houses have been constructed and distributed across the state.

2. Can I apply if I live in a rented house in Telangana?

Yes, if you meet other eligibility criteria and don’t own a permanent home.

3. Is there any way to apply online for the 2BHK Scheme?

No, applications are handled offline via local government offices or recommendations from MLAs.

4. How long does it take to get a house after applying?

There is no fixed timeline. It may take months or even years, depending on availability and verification.

The Telangana Government 2BHK Scheme is one of the most ambitious housing initiatives in India. If your family struggles with housing, applying through your local office could be your first step toward a better future.
