PMMVY 2026: The central government is providing significant financial assistance through the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY) to improve the health and nutrition of mothers and infants in the country. This scheme, which has been running in a new form since 2017, is no less than a boon for pregnant women. Its main goal is to provide women with money for nutrition during pregnancy and encourage the birth of daughters.

Benefits are available twice

The financial assistance under the scheme is divided into two parts:

The government provides a total of ₹5,000 for first-time mothers. Of this, ₹3,000 is given at the time of pregnancy registration, and the remaining ₹2,000 after the child's birth.

If the second child is a girl, the government provides direct assistance of ₹6,000. This entire amount is transferred directly to your bank account (via DBT) so there are no middlemen involved.
