Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY) — Rs 5,000 for first child (2026)

• Pregnant woman, age 19+
• First live birth (or first girl child for additional Rs 6,000 on second)
• Aadhaar-linked bank account
• Anganwadi or hospital registration of pregnancy

Rs 5,000 for first child in 2 instalments: Rs 3,000 on early pregnancy registration (within 150 days) + Rs 2,000 on first ANC + 6 months. Rs 6,000 additional on second-girl-child birth (single instalment).

1. Register at Anganwadi / govt hospital — Within first trimester for full benefit.
2. Submit Form 1A + KYC — Aadhaar of mother + father + bank account + MCP card.
3. Anganwadi worker submits to PMMVY-CAS — Online application; you receive an ID.
4. First instalment after verification — Rs 3,000 credited 60-90 days of registration.
5. Second instalment after first ANC + 6 months — Rs 2,000 credited.
6. On second-child-girl birth — File fresh Form 1A; Rs 6,000 in single instalment.

• Aadhaar (mother + father)
• MCP card / ANC record

• Aadhaar of father missing — required for PMMVY 2.0 framework. Get Aadhaar first.
• Late registration (after 150 days) — disqualifies first instalment of Rs 3,000.
• Bank Aadhaar de-linked — DBT fails. Visit bank.
• Second-child rule misunderstood — only girl-child gets Rs 6,000; second boy gets nothing additional.

Most “delays” or “rejections” clear within 7-15 days of an RTI being filed. Use this 5-question template:

1. Status of my application no. _____ dated _____ as on date.
2. Name + designation of dealing officer assigned to my file.
3. Reasons for delay beyond the statutory timeline.
4. Copy of any noting / movement of my file in the past 30 days.
5. Likely date of disbursement / decision.
