MIG stands for middle-income group and it is further divided into two categories: MIG-I and MIG-II while HIG stands for the higher-income group. The middle-income group 1 represents an annual income of Rs. 6 to Rs. 12 lakh and the middle-income group 2 represents an annual income of Rs. 12 to Rs. 18 lakhs.  You can belong to the HIG section if you earn above Rs. 18 lakh per annum.

While for MIG 1 the carpet area of flat ranges between 60 sq.m to 120 sq.m and for MIG 2 the carpet area is between 120 sq.m to 150 sq.m respectively. I hope you now know what is LIG category.
