Pradhan Mantri Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana (PM-VBRY)

ఇది ఏమిటి?

PM-VBRY is the government's employment-linked incentive scheme. It came into effect on 1 August 2025 and has two separate parts - one directed at a person taking their first formal job, and one that pays employers for creating new jobs.

Part A covers first-time employees. For a person entering EPFO-covered employment for the first time, the published benefit is one month's EPF wage, up to a maximum of Rs 15,000. It is not paid all at once. The first instalment follows 6 months of continuous employment, and the second follows 12 months of employment together with completion of a financial literacy programme. A portion of the incentive is kept aside in a savings instrument that can be withdrawn after a fixed period, so that the money is not spent immediately.

Part B covers employers. For every additional employee an employer hires and retains for at least six months, the government pays the employer a monthly amount for two years, extended into the third and fourth years for the manufacturing sector. The amount depends on the new employee's EPF wage: up to Rs 1,000 a month where the EPF wage is up to Rs 10,000; Rs 2,000 a month where it is between Rs 10,001 and Rs 20,000; and Rs 3,000 a month where it is between Rs 20,001 and Rs 1,00,000.

The published conditions for Part B are that an employer with fewer than 50 employees must hire at least 2 additional employees, and an employer with 50 or more employees must hire at least 5, and must sustain those jobs for at least six months. The employer must be registered with EPFO.

The scheme covers jobs created between 1 August 2025 and 31 July 2027. A common misunderstanding: there is no separate application for Part A. The employer registers the new worker with EPFO, and the incentive flows through the EPFO system once the six-month and twelve-month conditions are met.

ఎలా దరఖాస్తు చేయాలి

There is no separate application form for an employee. The employee joins an EPFO-registered employer, and the Universal Account Number is generated with Aadhaar seeded and linked to the bank account. Employers claim Part B incentives through the EPFO system for additional employees hired and retained for at least six months.
