Yojana ke baare me

PM CARES for Children Mahila evam Bal Vikas Mantralaya ki yojana hai (ghoshna 29 May 2021) — un bachcho ke liye jinhone 11 March 2020 se 5 May 2023 ke beech COVID-19 se dono mata-pita, jeevit mata/pita, kanooni abhibhavak ya dattak mata-pita ko khoya, aur mrityu ke samay ve 18 varsh se kam ke the. Labh: post office khate me aisa pro-rata corpus ki 18 varsh par ₹10 lakh bane, 18–23 varsh tak usi corpus se maasik stipend (Post Office MIS), 23 varsh par ₹10 lakh ek-musht; Class 1–12 ke liye ₹20,000 varshik scholarship; 23 varsh tak ₹5 lakh PM-JAY bima; school admission aur uchch shiksha loan par byaj-sahayata; rishtedaro ke saath rehne wale bachcho ko Mission Vatsalya se ₹4,000 mahina alag se. SABSE ZAROORI SACH: ye sabke liye khuli aam yojana nahi hai — WCD ne Rajya Sabha (27 Nov 2024) me kaha ki panjiyan abhi bhi khula hai, lekin sirf upar wali simit COVID-patrata ke liye; Nov 2024 tak 9,332 aavedano me se 4,543 bachche hi manjur hue the. Panjiyan seedha online approve nahi hota — CWC/DCPU ki jaanch ke baad District Magistrate ka nirnay antim hota hai.

  • Mrityu 11 March 2020 (WHO dwara COVID ko mahamari ghoshit karne ki tareekh) se 5 May 2023 ke beech hui ho — yojana ki patrata avadhi yahi hai

  • Mrityu ki tareekh par jinhone 18 varsh poore kar liye the
  • Aarthik tangi ya anya karano se kathin paristhiti wale bachche — ve is yojana ke patra nahi hain; unke liye Mission Vatsalya / rajya sahayata ka rasta jila prashasan (DCPU) se poochhein
  • Duplicate aavedan — ek hi bachche ke dohre aavedan jaanch me alag kar diye jate hain (Rajya Sabha jawab ke anusaar 524 duplicate aavedan nikle the)

Kaunse documents chahiye

Apply kaise karein — step by step

  1. STEP 1 — Sabse pehle ye sach samjhein: ye aam 'open' yojana NAHI haiPM CARES for Children sirf un bachcho ke liye hai jinhone 11 March 2020 se 5 May 2023 ke beech COVID-19 se dono mata-pita, jeevit mata/pita (surviving parent), kanooni abhibhavak ya dattak mata-pita ko khoya ho, aur mrityu ke samay bachche ki umar 18 varsh se kam rahi ho. Mahila evam Bal Vikas Mantralaya ne Rajya Sabha me 27 November 2024 ko kaha tha ki panjiyan abhi bhi khula rakha gaya hai taaki koi patra bachcha chhoot na jaye — LEKIN ye sirf upar wali simit patrata par lagu hai. Is avadhi ke bahar ki mrityu ya gair-COVID karan se anath hue bachche is yojana me patra nahi hain; unke liye Mission Vatsalya aur rajya yojanaon ki madad jila prashasan se mil sakti hai — pehle wahi confirm karein, jhoothi umeed par samay na ganwayein.
  2. STEP 2 — Suchna/aavedan ki shuruaat: portal ya Childline 1098 / DCPUPatra bachche ki suchna pmcaresforchildren.in portal ke dwara di ja sakti hai — koi bhi nagrik aise bachche ki jankari prashasan tak pahuncha sakta hai. Iske alawa Childline 1098 par call karke, ya apne jile ke District Child Protection Unit (DCPU) / Child Welfare Committee (CWC) ke paas bachche ko pesh karke prakriya shuru hoti hai. Aavedan form bachcha, uska dekhbhal karne wala (caregiver) ya pesh karne wali sanstha bhar sakti hai. Screenshot me portal ka wahi asal homepage dikhaya gaya hai — upar menu me 'Login' vikalp hai, jahan se panjikrit upyogkarta (bachcha/caregiver, CWC, DM) apne star par pravesh karte hain.STEP 2 — Suchna/aavedan ki shuruaat: portal ya Childline 1098 / DCPUScreenshot: pmcaresforchildren.in (guide ke liye)
  3. STEP 3 — CWC + DCPU ka satyaapanCWC, DCPU ki madad se tathya ikatthe karta hai — mrityu ka karan mrityu praman-patra ya kshetra-jaanch (field enquiry) se satyaapit hota hai, parivaar/pata/school ki jankari li jati hai. Jankari portal par upload karke CWC apni sifarish District Magistrate (DM) ko bhejta hai; sifarish na ho to karan darj karna hota hai.
  4. STEP 4 — DM ka antim nirnayDistrict Magistrate swatantra roop se jaanch karke portal par bachche ki patrata confirm karta hai — patrata par DM ka nirnay hi antim hota hai. Yahi karan hai ki aavedan seedha 'online approve' nahi hota; kagaz aur jaanch poori hona sabse zaroori hai.
  5. STEP 5 — Manjuri ke baad: post office khata aur labh shuruManjuri ke baad bachche ke naam post office khata khulta hai (nabalig ke liye DM ke saath sanyukt khata). Isme pro-rata rakam is hisab se jama hoti hai ki 18 varsh par kul corpus ₹10 lakh ban jaye. School admission (Kendriya Vidyalaya/private school/RTE), ₹20,000 varshik scholarship (Class 1–12) aur PM-JAY swasthya bima ki prakriya bhi jila prashasan aur sambandhit vibhago ke dwara aage badhti hai.

Status / kist kaise check karein

Aavedan ki sthiti — DM / DCPU karyalaya se poochheinPatrata ka antim nirnay District Magistrate ka hota hai aur wahi portal par sthiti confirm karta hai — isiliye apne aavedan ki sabse sahi sthiti apne jile ke DM karyalaya ya District Child Protection Unit (DCPU) se aavedan ki jankari ke saath poochhein. pmcaresforchildren.in ke homepage par yojana ke labh bhi saaf dikhte hain — Financial Support ₹10 lakh, Scholarship ₹20,000 prati varsh (Class 1–12) aur Health Insurance ₹5 lakh; screenshot me wahi asal homepage hai.

  2. Paisa aaya ya nahi — post office / bank khate se pushtiCorpus ki rakam bachche ke post office khate me jama hoti hai aur scholarship Aadhaar-linked bank khate me DBT se aati hai — passbook/statement se credit ki pushti karein.

  3. Koi patra bachcha chhoot gaya ho to — Childline 1098Agar aapke aas-paas koi aisa bachcha hai jo patrata poori karta hai lekin abhi tak panjikrit nahi hai, to Childline 1098 par call karke ya DCPU/CWC ko suchna dekar uski madad shuru karwayi ja sakti hai — WCD ne Sansad me kaha hai ki panjiyan isiliye khula rakha gaya hai taaki koi patra bachcha chhoot na jaye.
Thagi se bachein: Awedan bilkul muft hai.

Aksar puche jaane wale sawal (FAQ)

PM CARES for Children me kul kitne paise milte hain aur kab?

Post office khate me pro-rata rakam is tarah jama hoti hai ki 18 varsh par corpus ₹10 lakh ban jaye. 18 ke baad is corpus ko Post Office Monthly Income Scheme me lagakar 23 varsh tak maasik stipend milta hai, aur 23 varsh poore hone par ₹10 lakh ek-musht milte hain. Internet par '30 varsh par paisa' wala daava galat hai — WCD ke disha-nirdesh aur Sansad ke jawab dono me 23 varsh hi hai.

Naya panjiyan (registration) abhi khula hai ya band ho gaya hai?

Imaandaar sthiti ye hai: WCD ne Rajya Sabha me 27 Nov 2024 ko spasht kaha tha — 'panjiyan abhi bhi khula hai taaki koi patra aavedak peeche na reh jaye.' Yojana 2026 me bhi chalu hai — Dec 2025 me PIB ne bataya ki 2025-26 me 2,855 bachcho ko scholarship mili, aur Oct 2026 me scholarship ke liye Aadhaar adhisoochna bhi jaari hui. LEKIN ye 'khula panjiyan' sirf unhi bachcho ke liye hai jo simit patrata (11 Mar 2020–5 May 2023 ke beech COVID se mata-pita/abhibhavak ki mrityu, mrityu ke samay umar 18 se kam) poori karte hain. Iske bahar ka koi bhi naya mamla isme shamil nahi ho sakta — apne mamle ki patrata DM/DCPU karyalaya se confirm kiye bina umeed na bandhein.

18 saal se chhote bachche ko abhi koi maasik madad milti hai?

Haan — jo patra bachche rishtedaro ke saath reh rahe hain, unhe Mission Vatsalya Yojana (WCD ki hi alag yojana) ke tahat ₹4,000 prati mahina milta hai. Child Care Institution me rehne wale bachcho ka boarding/lodging sarkari kharch par hota hai. Ye ₹4,000 PM CARES corpus se alag hai. Iske alawa school jaane wale har bachche ko ₹20,000 prati varsh scholarship milti hai.

Scholarship kitni hai aur kaise milti hai?

Class 1 se 12 tak ke school-jaane wale patra bachcho ko ₹20,000 prati varsh — isme ₹1,000 prati mahina stipend (kul ₹12,000) aur ₹8,000 varshik shaikshanik bhatta (school fees, kitabein, uniform, joote aadi ke liye) shamil hai. Rakam seedha Aadhaar-linked bank khate me DBT se aati hai (Samajik Nyaya evam Adhikarita Vibhag ki Central Sector scholarship; PIB 16 Dec 2025).

Sirf ek mata ya pita ki mrityu hui ho to kya bachcha patra hai?

Haan. Yojana me 'surviving parent' ka mamla bhi shamil hai — arthaat pehle ek mata/pita jaa chuke hon aur dusre (jeevit) mata/pita ki mrityu COVID se hui ho, ya kanooni/dattak abhibhavak ki COVID se mrityu hui ho, to bachcha patra ho sakta hai — basharte mrityu nirdharit avadhi (11 Mar 2020–5 May 2023) me hui ho aur bachcha us samay 18 se kam ka raha ho. Antim nirnay jaanch ke baad DM ka hota hai.

Aavedan reject kyun ho jata hai — aam wajahen kya hain?

Rajya Sabha ke jawab ke anusaar kul 9,332 aavedan aaye, jinme 524 duplicate nikle; jaanch ke baad 4,543 bachche manjur hue — arthaat lagbhag aadhe aavedan manjur nahi hue. WCD har aavedan ka vyaktigat karan prakashit nahi karta, lekin satyaapan-prakriya ke anusaar aam wajahen ye hain: mrityu ka COVID se hona pramanit na hona, mrityu nirdharit avadhi ke bahar hona, mrityu ke samay bachche ki umar 18 poori ho chuki hona, duplicate aavedan, aur dastavej/satyaapan adhura rehna. Isiliye mrityu praman-patra aur umar ke kagaz sabse pehle theek rakhein.

Swasthya bima (health insurance) kitna aur kab tak milta hai?

Har patra bachcha Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY me namankit hota hai — ₹5 lakh ka swasthya bima cover, jo Rajya Sabha ke jawab ke anusaar 23 varsh ki umar tak milta hai.

Uchch shiksha (higher education) ke liye kya madad hai?

Professional course/uchch shiksha ke liye education loan lene me madad milti hai aur jahan sarkari yojana se byaj-chhoot na mile, loan ka byaj PM CARES se diya jata hai; vikalp ke roop me sarkari scholarship yojanaon se scholarship ke liye National Scholarship Portal par madad milti hai. Iske alawa AICTE ki Swanath Scholarship se patra chhatro ko ₹50,000 prati varsh (degree ke liye adhiktam 4 varsh, diploma ke liye 3 varsh) mil sakta hai.
