Prasuti Sahayata Yojana 2026: Rajasthan Rs 21,000 vs MP Rs 16,000 — How Much Each State Pays

Introduction: One Name, Two Different Schemes — Read This First

If you searched Google for Prasuti Sahayata Yojana, you probably noticed something confusing: different websites quote different amounts. One says Rs 21,000, another says Rs 16,000, and a third mentions Rs 20,000. The reason is simple — Prasuti Sahayata Yojana is not one single scheme. It is a name shared by different state-run maternity benefit schemes, and each state has its own rules and amounts. Rajasthan’s scheme is different from Madhya Pradesh’s scheme, and Chhattisgarh has a scheme under a similar name too.

In this post, we explain all of them — how much money each state gives, who can apply, which documents you need, and how to apply step by step. Start with the comparison table below so you can see at a glance which scheme belongs to your state. Then read the full section for your state.

Rajasthan Prasuti Sahayata Yojana 2026

In Rajasthan, this scheme is run by the Labour Department and the Building and Other Construction Workers (BOCW) Welfare Board. Its aim is to give financial help to construction-worker families at the time of childbirth, so that money worries do not come in the way of proper care for the mother and the newborn.

How Much Money Do You Get in Rajasthan?

In Rajasthan, the benefit depends on the child’s gender:

Instalment	When it is paid	Girl child	Boy child
First instalment	At the birth of the child	Rs 5,000	Rs 5,000
Second instalment	When the child turns 1 year old + fully vaccinated	Rs 5,000	Rs 5,000
Third instalment	When the child turns 5 years old + admitted to school	Rs 11,000	Rs 10,000
Total		Rs 21,000	Rs 20,000

Note the conditions: the second instalment needs the child’s full vaccination, and the third instalment needs school admission. These conditions exist so that children’s health and education both get attention.

Eligibility: Who Can Apply in Rajasthan?

• The applicant must be a construction worker registered with the Rajasthan BOCW Welfare Board, or the wife of a registered male construction worker.
• The registration must be active, with regular contributions being paid.
• There is no application fee.
• The money is sent directly to the bank account through DBT.

How to Apply in Rajasthan (Step-by-Step)

1. Log in to the SSO portal: Open the Rajasthan SSO portal and log in with your SSO ID.
2. Open LDMS: In the portal, open the Labour Department Management System (LDMS) service.
3. Select the scheme: From the list of schemes, choose the Prasuti Sahayata Yojana application form.
4. Fill in the details: Enter the worker registration number, the child’s birth details, and bank account information.
5. Upload documents: Upload the birth certificate, worker registration card, and bank passbook copy.
6. Submit: After submitting, keep the receipt/application number safe and check the application status from time to time.

Madhya Pradesh Mukhya Mantri Shramik Seva Prasuti Sahayata Yojana (MMSSPSY)

In Madhya Pradesh, this scheme has been in effect since 1 April 2018. It is run jointly by the Labour Department and the Health Department. Its purpose is to support pregnant women workers from the unorganized sector during pregnancy and childbirth, so they can take time off work and look after their own and their baby’s health.

How Much Money Do You Get in Madhya Pradesh?

Instalment	When it is paid	Amount
First instalment	During pregnancy	Rs 4,000
Second instalment	After delivery in a government hospital	Rs 12,000
Total		Rs 16,000

The second instalment requires delivery in a government hospital. The scheme is linked to health check-ups and the delivery record, so getting regular check-ups at a government health centre during pregnancy is important.

Eligibility: Who Can Apply in Madhya Pradesh?

• The pregnant woman must be 18 years of age or older.
• She must be registered as an unorganized-sector worker.
• The benefit is given for the first two live births.
• The delivery must take place in a government hospital.

How to Apply in Madhya Pradesh (Step-by-Step)

1. Visit a government hospital: During pregnancy, register at the nearest government hospital or health centre and attend regular check-ups.
2. Get the form: Collect the Prasuti Sahayata Yojana application form from the hospital, or check the information on labour.mp.gov.in.
3. Attach documents: Attach worker registration proof, Aadhaar card, bank account details, and the check-up/delivery record.
4. Submit the form: Submit the filled form at the hospital or the concerned office and take the receipt.
5. Wait for payment: After verification, the money reaches the bank account through DBT — the first instalment during pregnancy and the second after delivery.

Chhattisgarh Has a Scheme With a Similar Name — Be Careful

In Chhattisgarh, some websites carry information about an Asangathit Karmakar Prasuti Sahayata Yojana, with an amount of Rs 20,000 mentioned. However, we found this information from only a single source, so we cannot confirm the amount. If you are from Chhattisgarh, please check the official notification or contact your district labour department office. Do not trust any amount that is not confirmed by an official source.

Why Do the Amounts Differ From State to State?

Many readers ask why Rajasthan pays Rs 21,000 while Madhya Pradesh pays Rs 16,000 for what looks like the same scheme. The answer is that these are separate state schemes funded from state budgets. Each state government decides its own benefit amount based on its budget, the cost of living in that state, and which group of workers the scheme is meant to help. Rajasthan’s scheme covers construction workers and is managed through the BOCW Welfare Board, which collects contributions from registered workers and employers. Madhya Pradesh’s scheme covers unorganized-sector women workers more broadly and is tied to the public health system, with check-ups and institutional delivery as part of the design. Because the funding source, the target group, and the delivery system are different, the amounts are different too. That is also why you cannot use one state’s application form or portal for another state’s scheme — the systems are not connected to each other.

There is one more practical point worth knowing. State maternity-benefit schemes sit alongside central schemes such as Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY), which is a separate central scheme with its own rules. A woman may be eligible for more than one scheme, but each scheme has its own application, and approval under one does not automatically mean approval under another. Always check each scheme’s rules separately, and never assume that a benefit quoted for one scheme applies to another.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Reading the wrong state’s rules: This is the biggest mistake. Rajasthan’s rules do not apply in Madhya Pradesh, and vice versa. Confirm your state first.
• Forgetting registration renewal: In Rajasthan, the BOCW registration must stay active with regular contributions. A lapsed registration gets no benefit.
• Not keeping vaccination and school-admission proof: Rajasthan’s second and third instalments depend on these proofs.
• Delivery in a private hospital: Madhya Pradesh’s second instalment requires delivery in a government hospital.
• Applying through fake websites: Always apply only through official channels — the Rajasthan SSO/LDMS portal, labour.mp.gov.in, or a government hospital. Never pay any agent.

How to Check Your Application Status

In Rajasthan, applicants can check their application status through LDMS on the SSO portal. In Madhya Pradesh, contact the concerned hospital or labour department office, or check the information available on labour.mp.gov.in. Always keep your application number/receipt safe — you will need it when asking about the status.
