PMMVY Scheme 2025: The Central Government is running the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY) to provide financial assistance to pregnant women and lactating mothers. This scheme was first launched in 2010 and was renamed in 2017. Its main aim is to support mothers with nutritious food expenses, promote awareness about health services, and encourage a positive mindset towards the birth of a girl child.
For the year 2025, the last date to apply for PMMVY has been set as 15 August 2025. Anganwadi and ASHA workers are conducting door-to-door awareness and registration drives to ensure that all eligible women are enrolled.
How Much Benefit Will You Get?
Under the scheme, women receive Rs 5,000 when they become pregnant for the first time. The amount is given in two installments—Rs 3,000 during pregnancy registration and Rs 2,000 after registering the child’s birth. If a woman gives birth to a daughter during her second pregnancy, she will get Rs 6,000 from the government.
The financial assistance is directly transferred to the Aadhaar-linked bank or post office account of the beneficiary through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). The amount can be used to meet the nutritional needs of both mother and child.
Who Can Apply for PMMVY?
To be eligible for this scheme, the pregnant woman must be at least 19 years old, and the family’s annual income should be less than Rs 8 lakh. Women with a MNREGA job card, PM Kisan Samman Nidhi benefits, e-shram card, BPL card, or those who are disabled can also apply.
Impact of the Schem
Since its launch, PMMVY has benefited over 4 crore women across India. The government has distributed more than Rs 19,028 crore under this initiative. PMMVY is part of the ‘Samarthya’ sub-scheme under Mission Shakti, with the goal of improving maternal and child health across the country.
If you are eligible, make sure to register before 15 August 2025 to receive the financial support and secure a healthy start for both mother and child.
