Aadhaar + bank required. **Free.** Approved by Cabinet 2017, expanded under PMMVY 2.0 in 2022.

+===== Who is eligible =====
+  * **Pregnant or lactating** woman aged **19+** (younger if married).
+  * **Indian citizen**.
+  * **First live birth** OR **second live birth IF the child is a girl**.
+  * **No bar on income or category** (Ujjwala-2.0-style universal).
+  * **Aadhaar mandatory**.
+  * **Government employee mothers excluded** (they get separate maternity benefit under CCS Rules).
+===== Instalments + triggers =====
+==== First child (₹5,000) ====
+| Instalment | Amount | Trigger |
+| 1st | ₹3,000 | Within 150 days of last menstrual period — register at Anganwadi + first ANC visit |
+| 2nd | ₹2,000 | After delivery + child's first round of immunisation (Penta-1, OPV-1, BCG) |
+==== Second child if girl (additional ₹6,000) ====
+| Single instalment | ₹6,000 | After registration of birth + first round of immunisation |
+==== Plus separately ====
+  * **Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY)**: ₹1,400 (rural BPL) / ₹1,000 (urban BPL) for institutional delivery. Stackable with PMMVY.
+  * Many state schemes also stack (Mamta in Punjab, Mukhyamantri Matru-Shishu in MP, etc.).
+===== Documents required =====
+  - **Aadhaar of mother** (mobile-linked)
+  - **Aadhaar of husband** (for verification)
+  - **Bank passbook** (mother's name, Aadhaar-seeded)
+  - **MCP card (Mother & Child Protection)** — issued at Anganwadi at first ANC
+  - **LMP date** (Last Menstrual Period) — usually estimated by ANM at first visit
+  - **Self-declaration**
+===== How to apply =====
+  - Visit your nearest **Anganwadi Centre (AWC)**. ASHA worker / ANM will guide.
+  - **Form 1A** — pregnancy registration + 1st ANC. Submit within 150 days of LMP.
+  - Anganwadi enters details in **PMMVY-CAS** (Common Application Software).
+  - DBT to bank account for **1st instalment** within 30 days.
+  - **Form 1B** — after delivery, with delivery proof. **2nd instalment** within 30 days.
+  - **Form 1C** — after first round of child immunisation. Receipt for ₹6,000 if second child is girl.
+  - Track at https://wcd.nic.in/pmmvy-cas (CAS portal).
+===== Common mistakes =====
+  * **Late registration** — Form 1A must be filed within **150 days of LMP**. After that, eligibility lost.
+  * **MCP card not maintained** — ANC visits must be recorded. ASHA worker maintains; verify weekly.
+  * **Aadhaar–bank mismatch** — name spelling differences between Aadhaar and bank cause silent DBT failures. Fix at branch first.
+  * **Multiple Aadhaar numbers** — flagged + cancelled. One canonical Aadhaar only.
+  * **Joint account in bank** — must be **mother's individual account** for DBT.
+===== FAQ =====
+==== Can I get PMMVY for my third child? ====
+**No** — PMMVY covers first child + second only if girl. Third + ineligible.
+==== I had a stillbirth. Am I eligible? ====
+**1st instalment** (post-registration) — yes (received during pregnancy). **2nd + 3rd** — no, since they're triggered by live birth + child's first immunisation. Stillbirth doesn't reverse the 1st instalment.
+==== Can I apply for PMMVY after delivery (didn't register during pregnancy)? ====
+**No** — registration **must be within 150 days of LMP**. Post-delivery registration is too late.
+==== I'm a domestic worker. Am I eligible? ====
+**Yes** — PMMVY is universal (no income/category bar) for non-government-employee women. Register at Anganwadi.
+==== Will my husband's job affect my PMMVY? ====
+**Only if husband is government employee receiving maternity benefit** under CCS Rules — then **excluded** (to avoid double benefit).
+==== I changed my address. Will my second instalment come? ====
+Visit Anganwadi at new address. Update in PMMVY-CAS. DBT continues to your bank — bank account is the anchor, not the Anganwadi.
+==== My MCP card is missing. What do I do? ====
+**ASHA worker reissues** at Anganwadi. Free. Take Aadhaar.
+==== Can I claim PMMVY + JSY + state schemes together? ====
+**Yes, all stackable.** Best to enrol in all three at the first Anganwadi visit.
