Youth aged 18 to 23 who lost a parent or guardian and are studying for a graduation degree or diploma after class 12 at a government college, university or technical institute (or have passed exams such as NEET, JEE or CLAT) keep getting ₹2,500 until 23 or the end of the course, whichever is first. Covid: children up to 18 whose mother, father or both died of Covid-19 get ₹4,000 a month, plus free schooling in Atal Awasiya or Kasturba Gandhi schools and ₹1,01,000 for a girl’s marriage.

₹2,500 a month for children who lost one or both parents or their guardian (and some other vulnerable children), and ₹4,000 a month for children orphaned by Covid-19, paid by Aadhaar-based DBT. Eligibility and amounts are as printed on the department page and the scheme portal. The income limit is not printed there; the District Probation Officer will tell you.

The payment is Aadhaar-based DBT. The bank account must be in the child’s name, linked to the child’s Aadhaar and DBT enabled.
