PM Matru Vandana Yojana

Cash support of Rs 5,000 for a pregnant woman's first child

PM Matru Vandana Yojana gives pregnant and lactating women cash help to make up some of the wages lost around childbirth and to support better nutrition. For the first living child the amount is Rs 5,000 in instalments, and for a second child, if it is a girl, a further payment is given. Register at the anganwadi centre or the health facility during pregnancy with Aadhaar, a bank account and the mother-child protection card. Central employees and those who get similar maternity benefit under another law are not eligible.

Rules, amounts and dates can change. Confirm the details on the official portal or at your taluk office before you apply.
