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.

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.

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:

  • You must be 18 years or older at the time of registration.
  • You must be engaged in one of the 18 listed trades on a self-employment basis.
  • One member per family can register and benefit.
  • You must not have taken a similar credit-linked self-employment loan (such as PMEGP, PM SVANidhi or Mudra) in the past 5 years.
  • Government employees and their families are not eligible.

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:

  • Aadhaar card (linked to your mobile number for OTP).
  • Mobile number that receives OTP.
  • Bank account details. If you have no account, the CSC helps you open one.
  • Ration card. If you do not have one, you can give the Aadhaar numbers of all family members.

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.

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.

  • Toll-free helpline: 18002677777 and 17923.
  • MSME Champions desk: 011-23061574, email [email protected]
  • In person: your nearest CSC, MSME-DFO, or District Industry Centre (DIC).
  • State nodal officer: listed on the portal's Contact Us page for every state and union territory.

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.
