This group housing society would then get collaborated with builders, banks or sellers of homes to make the EPFO members buy homes. The condition to avail the facility is that there should be at least 20 members in the group housing society.

The subscribers would be even allowed to club the benefits of various other schemes like PMAY under this housing scheme initiative of EPFO so that the vision of Housing for all by 2022 can be achieved.
