• The Indira Awas Yojana (IAY) operated as a centrally sponsored scheme, meaning that the financial burden was shared between the central government and the state governments.

• The agreed-upon ratio for this cost-sharing was 75% funded by the Government of India and 25% funded by the respective state governments.

• This model ensured that the central government provided significant financial support while states also contributed to the implementation and success of the program.
