Status evidence
Fetched official PMAY-Urban ARHC page (pmay-urban.gov.in/arhc-about): launched 8 July 2020 under PMAY-Urban as a sub-scheme for urban migrants/poor; Model 1 (govt housing stock) and Model 2 (private/public land) operational; cities listed Bihar among potential implementation states. No current-FY Bihar-specific budget confirmation found — likely_active. Distinct from PMAY-Urban (ownership housing) — ARHC is specifically a rental sub-scheme.
