PM Vishwakarma Yojana Status and Beneficiary List 2026

Indian artisan checking PM Vishwakarma Yojana status online in 2026

Use only the official PM Vishwakarma portal to check application status or beneficiary details.

Quick answer. To check your PM Vishwakarma Yojana status 2026, open the official portal pmvishwakarma.gov.in and log in with your registered mobile number and the captcha. After login you can see your application stage, verification status and whether you are an approved beneficiary. There is no separate public “status by mobile number” page outside login, so always use the official portal to check. This website cannot check your status for you. If your application is stuck or rejected without a clear reason, you can file an RTI to the implementing department under Section 6(1) of the RTI Act 2005. For the full application walkthrough, see our guide on how to apply for PM Vishwakarma Yojana.

PM Vishwakarma is a large, active scheme. Lakhs of artisans apply through Common Service Centres (CSCs), so it is normal to wait while your form moves through a three-stage check. This guide shows where to look, what each stage may mean, and what to do if you are stuck. Every scheme fact below is taken from the official portal and the scheme guidelines.

How to check PM Vishwakarma status 2026

The status sits behind the beneficiary login. Follow these steps.

  1. Open the official portal pmvishwakarma.gov.in.
  2. Click Login on the top menu.
  3. On the login page, select the Applicant / Beneficiary login.
  4. Enter your registered mobile number (the one used at the CSC during registration).
  5. Type the captcha shown and submit, then follow the prompts to verify yourself.
  6. After login, open your dashboard to see your application stage and verification status.

If you registered through a CSC and do not know your login, visit the same CSC with your Aadhaar and registered mobile. The operator can open your dashboard for you. Do not share your Aadhaar OTP with anyone who is not an authorised CSC or MSME officer.

Reminder. This website does not check status. Only pmvishwakarma.gov.in shows your real application or beneficiary status.

PM Vishwakarma status by mobile number

This is one of the most searched questions. There is no separate public page on the official portal where you type your mobile number and see your status without logging in. Your status is always behind the login wall, because it is personal beneficiary data.

Here is the correct method:

  1. Click Login → choose Applicant / Beneficiary.
  2. Enter the exact mobile number you gave at the CSC during registration.
  3. Complete the captcha and OTP verification.
  4. Your dashboard opens, showing your current application stage.

If you forgot which mobile number was used: visit the CSC where you registered. They can look it up using your Aadhaar number. If the CSC is far or closed, call the toll-free helpline 18002677777 with your Aadhaar details and ask for help locating your registration.

Common problems and fixes:

Problem Likely cause What to do
“Mobile number not registered” You typed a different number than the one used at CSC. Try other family numbers. Visit the CSC to confirm.
OTP not received Poor network or the number is on DND. Wait 2 minutes, request again, or check network.
Login works but shows no record Application not synced to portal yet. Wait 48 hours, then re-check. Contact CSC.

Do not use any third-party app or website that claims to check PM Vishwakarma status by mobile number. They cannot access government data and may misuse your Aadhaar or mobile details.

PM Vishwakarma training status and stipend

After your application is approved, you become eligible for skill training in your trade. The training is a mandatory step before you receive the toolkit e-voucher and loan. Here is how training works and how to check its status.

Training structure:

How to check training status:

  1. Log in to pmvishwakarma.gov.in with your registered mobile.
  2. Open your dashboard → look for the Training or Skill Development section.
  3. You will see whether training is scheduled, in progress, completed, or pending assignment.

If training is delayed: Training batches are organised by the District Implementation Committee and delivered through partner institutions. If your training has not started long after approval, contact your MSME-DFO or DIC. You can also read our guide to PMKVY skill training and certification for parallel skill development options.

Stipend not received after training? Check whether your bank account details are correct in the portal. If the account is correct and the stipend is still delayed beyond 30 days of training completion, file an RTI for the payment status — see the section How to file RTI for PM Vishwakarma payment delay below.

PM Vishwakarma loan status and disbursement timeline

PM Vishwakarma offers collateral-free credit in two tranches:

Where the loan appears on your dashboard:

After you complete training and receive certification, your dashboard shows a credit facility or loan section. This section displays whether the loan has been sanctioned, disbursed, or is pending. The loan is routed through your linked bank account, and the partner bank processes the disbursement.

Loan disbursement stages:

Stage What it means Typical wait
Training completed Your profile is forwarded to the partner bank. 2-4 weeks
Bank verification The bank checks your KYC, account details and credit history. 1-3 weeks
Sanctioned Loan approved; disbursement initiated. 1-2 weeks
Disbursed Money credited to your bank account. Within 7 days of sanction

Common reasons for loan delay:

If your loan is delayed beyond a reasonable period after training completion, first call the helpline 18002677777, then escalate to your MSME-DFO. If still unresolved, file an RTI — the draft is in the section below. You can also read our guides on collateral-free MSE loans and Mudra Tarun loans up to Rs 10 lakh for alternative credit options.

How to download your PM Vishwakarma certificate

Once you are approved as a registered beneficiary, you can download your PM Vishwakarma certificate and beneficiary ID card directly from the portal. These documents serve as proof of your enrollment and are needed for the loan and toolkit stages.

Steps to download:

  1. Open your dashboard.
  2. Look for the Certificate or ID Card download link.
  3. Click to download the PDF.

If the certificate is not showing:

The certificate contains your name, trade, beneficiary ID, and registration date. Keep it safe — you may need it at the bank when applying for the loan, or at the tool vendor when using the toolkit e-voucher.

For the step-by-step application process (including registration, which happens before you get a certificate), see our complete guide: how to apply for PM Vishwakarma Yojana 2026.

PM Vishwakarma beneficiary list by state 2026

The PM Vishwakarma portal does not publish a publicly searchable beneficiary list by name. Your beneficiary status is visible only inside your own login. However, aggregate state-wise registration data is available through Government reports and the PIB.

The table below shows approximate registration distribution across the top 10 states based on official data published by the Ministry of MSME and PIB releases. These are approximate figures for indicative purposes — always verify current numbers on the official portal or through PIB releases.

State Approx. registered artisans (2024-2026) Key trades represented
Uttar Pradesh 18+ lakh Tailor, barber, carpenter, mason
Bihar 14+ lakh Barber, washerman, tailor, potter
Maharashtra 10+ lakh Cobbler, mason, tailor, carpenter
West Bengal 9+ lakh Tailor, garland maker, potter, blacksmith
Madhya Pradesh 8+ lakh Blacksmith, carpenter, mason, cobbler
Rajasthan 7+ lakh Potter, sculptor, tailor, carpenter
Karnataka 6+ lakh Goldsmith, cobbler, basket/mat/broom maker
Gujarat 5+ lakh Goldsmith, tailor, carpenter, mason
Tamil Nadu 4+ lakh Tailor, doll/toy maker, fishing-net maker
Andhra Pradesh 4+ lakh Fishing-net maker, goldsmith, cobbler

Note: These are approximate figures compiled from Ministry of MSME data and PIB releases as of early 2026. Registration numbers change continuously. For your personal beneficiary status, always log in to the official portal.

How to verify your name locally: Your Gram Panchayat (rural) or Urban Local Body (urban) holds the local verification record. The first verification stage happens at this level, so they have the list of names forwarded from your area. Visit them with your Aadhaar and ask whether your name was forwarded to the district stage.

PM Vishwakarma toolkit and equipment fund

The toolkit incentive is one of the most valuable benefits of PM Vishwakarma. Approved beneficiaries receive a Rs 15,000 e-voucher that can be used to purchase tools and equipment for their trade.

How the toolkit e-voucher works:

How to check your toolkit status:

  1. Open your dashboard → look for Toolkit or Equipment Incentive.

If the toolkit e-voucher is not showing:

Toolkit incentive summary

  • Amount: Rs 15,000 e-voucher (digital, not cash)
  • Unlocked after: Basic training completion and certification
  • Usable at: Empanelled vendors on the portal
  • If tool costs more: Beneficiary pays the difference

How to check beneficiary list details

The portal does not offer an open name-search beneficiary list the way some other schemes do. Your beneficiary status is shown inside your own login. After your application clears verification, the portal marks you as a registered beneficiary, and you can then download your PM Vishwakarma certificate and ID from your dashboard.

For ground-level confirmation, the Gram Panchayat (rural) or Urban Local Body (urban) holds the local verification record, because the first stage of verification happens there. You can ask them whether your name was forwarded.

Who is eligible

The scheme is for artisans and craftspeople who work with their hands and tools in one of 18 trades. Key conditions from the official guidelines:

The 18 trades are: carpenter, boat maker, armourer, blacksmith, hammer and tool-kit maker, locksmith, goldsmith, potter, sculptor, cobbler or shoesmith, mason, basket/mat/broom maker, doll and toy maker, barber, garland maker, washerman, tailor, and fishing-net maker.

Documents you need

Keep these ready before or during registration:

What each status may mean

The portal shows where your application has reached. Official labels can differ, so the table below uses careful wording. Always trust the exact text shown on your own dashboard.

Status you may see What it may mean What to do
Pending / under verification Your form is waiting at the Gram Panchayat, Urban Local Body or district stage. Wait. Contact your CSC or local office. File RTI if delayed a long time.
Verified / forwarded You cleared one stage and moved to the next. Wait for the next stage to act.
Approved / registered beneficiary You are enrolled. You can download the certificate and ID and join training. Start your skill training and claim the toolkit support.
Rejected You failed an eligibility or verification check. Read the reason. Fix it, re-apply, or file a grievance or RTI.
Not found / no record Your form may not have been submitted or synced yet. Re-check the mobile number. Visit the CSC where you applied.

PM Vishwakarma vs PM SVANidhi: which scheme suits you?

Many artisans confuse PM Vishwakarma with PM SVANidhi. Both are central credit schemes, but they target different groups. Use this comparison to check which one applies to you.

Feature PM Vishwakarma PM SVANidhi
Who is it for? Traditional artisans and craftspeople in 18 listed trades Street vendors and hawkers
Loan amount Rs 1 lakh (1st tranche), then Rs 2 lakh Up to Rs 10,000 (1st), Rs 20,000 (2nd), Rs 50,000 (3rd)
Interest rate 5% concessional 7% (with subsidy on timely repayment)
Toolkit incentive Rs 15,000 e-voucher No toolkit
Training Yes — skill training with Rs 500/day stipend No formal training
Eligibility bar No PMEGP/Mudra/SVANidhi loan in last 5 years Must hold a valid vending certificate
Ministry Ministry of MSME Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs
Official portal pmvishwakarma.gov.in pmsvanidhi.mohua.gov.in

Key takeaway: If you are a street vendor, PM SVANidhi is for you — read our PM SVANidhi guide or check PM SVANidhi status. If you are a craftsperson in one of the 18 trades, PM Vishwakarma is your scheme.

You can also compare with other self-employment credit schemes: Mudra Tarun, PMEGP, and Stand-Up India.

How to file RTI for PM Vishwakarma payment delay

If your stipend, loan disbursement, or toolkit e-voucher is delayed without explanation, you have a legal right to demand a written, dated answer under the RTI Act 2005.

When to file:

Where to file: Address the RTI to the CPIO of the District Industries Centre (DIC) or the MSME-DFO in your district, since these offices handle PM Vishwakarma implementation at the field level.

Draft RTI application for payment delay:

To the CPIO, [District Industries Centre / MSME-DFO, your district]
Subject: Information under Section 6(1) RTI Act 2005 — PM Vishwakarma payment status
1. The current status of my PM Vishwakarma [stipend / loan / toolkit] payment (registered mobile: [number], beneficiary ID: [if known]).
2. The date my payment was approved and the date it was forwarded for disbursal.
3. The name and designation of the officer currently processing my payment.
4. The reason recorded for any delay in disbursing my payment.
5. The expected date of disbursal.

The PIO must reply within 30 days under Section 7(1). If there is no reply, file a first appeal within 30 days under Section 19(1).

For the complete RTI process, read our dedicated guide: RTI for PM Vishwakarma issues. You can also use the RTI Drafter tool to generate your application in minutes. For the general method of using RTI for scheme delays, see filing RTI for a delayed government scheme benefit.

If your status is pending, rejected or not found

Pending for a long time

First, confirm which stage it is stuck at. Verification moves through three stages: the Gram Panchayat or Urban Local Body, then the District Implementation Committee, then the Screening Committee. Visit your CSC or the MSME Development and Facilitation Office (MSME-DFO) for your district and ask which stage holds your file. If there is no clear answer, an RTI usually gets a dated reply.

Rejected

Ask for the exact reason on your dashboard or from the CSC. Common reasons are a wrong trade selection, a family member already registered, or a recent loan under another scheme. If you believe the rejection is wrong, raise a grievance on the official channels below, or file an RTI for the recorded reason and the verifying officer.

Not found

This often means the form never reached the portal, or the wrong mobile number was used. Go back to the CSC that registered you and ask for the acknowledgement or application reference.

Complaint and helpdesk: official channels

Use only official channels. Do not pay any agent who promises faster approval.

RTI angle: when the portal gives no clear answer

If the helpline and CSC do not give you a clear, dated answer, you have a legal right to ask. File an RTI under Section 6(1) of the RTI Act 2005 to the Public Information Officer (PIO) of the implementing department. For PM Vishwakarma, that is usually the District Industries Centre or the MSME-DFO, which sits under the Ministry of MSME.

You can ask for facts that the portal will not show you, such as:

  1. The current verification stage of your application and the date it reached that stage.
  2. The name and designation of the officer holding your file.
  3. The reason recorded for any delay or rejection.
  4. The expected date your file will be cleared.
  5. The number of applications pending at your block or district for 2025 to 2026.
To the CPIO, [District Industries Centre / MSME-DFO, your district]
Subject: Information under Section 6(1) RTI Act 2005, PM Vishwakarma application
1. The current verification stage of my application (registered mobile: [number]) and the date it reached that stage.
2. The name and designation of the officer presently holding my file.
3. The reason recorded for the delay or rejection, if any.
4. The expected date of clearance.
5. The number of PM Vishwakarma applications pending in this district for 2025 to 2026.

The PIO must reply within 30 days under Section 7(1). If there is no reply or an evasive one, file a first appeal within 30 days under Section 19(1). You can draft this in minutes with the RTI Drafter, and read The RTI Playbook for the full escalation path. For the general method, see our guide to file RTI for a delayed government scheme benefit.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check PM Vishwakarma status by mobile number?

Open pmvishwakarma.gov.in, click Login, choose the applicant login, and enter your registered mobile number with the captcha. Your status appears after login. There is no separate public “status by mobile number” page outside login, so use the portal login or visit the CSC that registered you.

Is there a PM Vishwakarma beneficiary list I can search by name?

The portal shows your beneficiary status inside your own login, not as an openly searchable name list. Once approved, you can download your certificate and ID from your dashboard. Your Gram Panchayat or Urban Local Body also holds the local verification record.

How long does PM Vishwakarma verification take?

It varies by district because verification passes through three stages: Gram Panchayat or Urban Local Body, then the District Implementation Committee, then the Screening Committee. There is no fixed legal deadline for approval. If it is taking very long, ask your CSC or MSME-DFO, or file an RTI for the current stage and expected date.

Is there any fee to register or check status?

No. Registration on the official portal is free, and checking your own status is free. Do not pay any agent who promises faster approval or a guaranteed loan. Only official channels can update your status.

My application was rejected. Can I apply again?

Yes, if you fix the reason. Common reasons are a wrong trade, a family member already enrolled, or a recent loan under PMEGP, PM SVANidhi or Mudra in the last 5 years. Read the recorded reason first, then re-apply or file a grievance or RTI.

What if the helpline does not solve my problem?

Escalate. Email [email protected], contact your state nodal officer from the portal's Contact Us page, or file an RTI under Section 6(1) of the RTI Act 2005 to the District Industries Centre or MSME-DFO for a dated, written answer.

When will I get the PM Vishwakarma loan after approval?

After your application is approved and you complete the basic skill training, your profile is forwarded to the partner bank. Bank verification and sanction typically take 3-6 weeks from training completion. Disbursement to your bank account follows within 7 days of sanction. If it takes longer, call 18002677777 or file an RTI — see How to file RTI for PM Vishwakarma payment delay.

How do I get the Rs 15,000 toolkit e-voucher?

The toolkit e-voucher is unlocked after you complete basic training and receive your skill certification. It appears in your dashboard and can be used at empanelled tool vendors listed on the portal. It is a digital voucher, not cash. If it is not showing despite all stages completed, contact your CSC or call the helpline.

Can I apply for both PM Vishwakarma and PM SVANidhi?

No — the PM Vishwakarma eligibility rules state that you must not have taken a credit-linked self-employment loan (including PM SVANidhi) in the last 5 years. If you already have a PM SVANidhi loan, you may not be eligible for PM Vishwakarma, and vice versa. Check the comparison table in the section PM Vishwakarma vs PM SVANidhi above.

What is the PM Vishwakarma training stipend amount?

The stipend is Rs 500 per day during the skill training period. It is paid directly to your registered bank account after training completion. If it is delayed beyond 30 days, verify your bank details on the portal and then file an RTI if needed.

Where can I find the PM Vishwakarma beneficiary list by state?

The portal does not publish a public name-search list. However, aggregate state-wise registration data is published by the Ministry of MSME and PIB. See the table in the section PM Vishwakarma beneficiary list by state 2026 above. For your personal status, log in to the portal.
