"In 2017, poor and middle class people will get four percent exemption on interest, on home loans of upto Rs. 9 lakh and three percent exemption on interest, on home loans of upto Rs. 12 lakh under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna," Prime Minister Modi said in a 43-minute address to the nation.

We have taken some decisions," he added. Saturday's address to the nation came a day after the expiry of 50-day deadline set by the government for people to deposit old high-value currency notes in banks and post offices.
