One portal. Six guarantee schemes. Over 1.28 crore applications processed. Yet thousands of Telangana residents still visit separate department offices for individual schemes — unaware that Praja Palana was designed to be their single entry point for all of them.
Praja Palana (ప్రజా పాలన) — Telangana’s unified citizen governance programme launched in December 2023 by the Congress-led government under CM A. Revanth Reddy. Functions as the central application, tracking, and delivery platform for all six guarantee schemes — replacing the need to visit multiple departments separately.

⭐ Indiramma Indlu — Housing Under Praja Palana
Indiramma Indlu (formerly Indiramma Housing) is the housing component — ₹5 lakh for constructing a pucca house for BPL families.
Eligibility: Homeless/houseless BPL family in Telangana, land ownership verified, not a beneficiary of any previous housing scheme.
Current status (2026): Applications processed through Praja Palana camps and Seva Kendras. Field survey verification is mandatory before approval — this is the step where most applications experience delays.
Indiramma Indlu is one of the most searched sub-schemes within Praja Palana — if your application status shows “Pending Survey,” it means the field officer hasn’t visited your site yet. Follow up with your Gram Panchayat or Mandal office.
Mobile App
“Praja Palana” app is available on Google Play Store (Android). Features: scheme information, application status check, Seva Kendra locations, notifications. Same Application Number works across portal and app.
Common Problems + Fix
“Don’t know my Application Number”: Check the acknowledgement slip given at the time of application (camp/Seva Kendra). If lost, visit your nearest Praja Palana Seva Kendra with your Aadhaar — they can retrieve it from the system.
“Status showing ‘Pending Survey’ for months”: Field survey teams are deployed district-wise — delays are common in high-application-volume areas. Follow up with your Mandal Development Officer (MDO) or Gram Panchayat with your Application Number.
“Rejected — reason not clear”: Visit the Seva Kendra with your Aadhaar and Application Number — staff can explain the exact rejection reason and guide you on document corrections for re-application.
“Applied during camp but status shows nothing”: Camp-based applications sometimes take 2-4 weeks to reflect in the online system. If it doesn’t appear after a month, visit your local Seva Kendra to verify whether the application was successfully submitted.
“Want to apply for multiple schemes — separate forms?”: No — the Praja Palana form covers all 6 schemes. Tick whichever schemes you’re eligible for in a single application.
