Bihar Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana: How to Safely Avail ₹10,000 Without Falling Victim to Fraud

The Bihar government has rolled out the Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana to empower women by providing financial assistance to start their own employment ventures. Under this scheme, women are being given an initial installment of ₹10,000 directly in their bank accounts. While the initiative is proving to be a boon for thousands of women across the state, cybercriminals have also become active, attempting to trap beneficiaries with fraudulent calls and fake links.

If you are planning to apply for this scheme, it is essential to remain cautious. A single mistake could cost you your hard-earned money. The Bihar government itself has issued several warnings urging women to be vigilant and avoid scams. Here are three crucial things you must remember to ensure your account remains safe while availing benefits under this scheme.


1. Beware of Misleading Links and Calls

The application forms for Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana are available only on the official website or at recognized village organizations (VOs). Any other link shared on social media, WhatsApp, or through unknown messages is most likely a scam.

If you receive a phone call offering help with filling the form or promising faster access to funds, it is almost certainly a cyber fraud. You should never share personal details such as your bank account number, Aadhaar details, or one-time passwords (OTPs). Sharing an OTP could instantly drain your bank account.

The golden rule is simple: do not trust unknown calls or links, and never share confidential details.

2. No Fee Required to Apply

The Bihar government has clearly stated that the application process is completely free of cost. You do not need to pay a single rupee to fill out the form or to receive the ₹10,000 installment.


If anyone demands ₹1,000–₹2,000 in the name of processing fees or guaranteeing approval, consider it a red flag. Such demands are a clear sign of fraud. Remember, the government does not authorize middlemen or agents to collect money under this scheme.

3. How to Apply Correctly

The official portal to apply online is https://mmry.brlps.in. Women residing in urban areas who are not associated with the Jeevika group can directly fill out the form on this website.

For women living in rural areas and already linked with Jeevika groups, there is no need to apply online. Instead, they can visit their Village Organization (VO) office, where officials will complete the application process on their behalf. The assistance amount will then be credited directly to their bank account.

Avoid middlemen or unofficial links at all costs. Following the correct process is the only way to ensure you receive your benefit without unnecessary complications.

Final Word

The Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana is an important step by the Bihar government to support women’s self-employment and financial independence. While the scheme promises direct benefits, cybercriminals are trying to exploit unsuspecting applicants.

To safeguard your money and avoid being cheated, always:

  • Use only official platforms to apply.

  • Never share OTPs, bank details, or Aadhaar information with strangers.

  • Remember that the process is free—no payment is required.

  • Approach your local VO office if you live in a village.

By staying alert and following the right steps, women can make the most of this scheme without falling prey to scams.
