Who Benefits from PM Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana?

This scheme focuses on three main groups: people looking for jobs, first-time employees joining the formal sector, and employers wanting to grow their workforce. By encouraging companies in different sectors, especially manufacturing, PM-VBRY creates many opportunities for new workers and businesses looking to increase their staff.

Incentives for First-Time Employees Under PM-VBRY

If you are a first-time employee registered with the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) and earn up to 75,000 per month, the scheme offers good benefits. Eligible employees can get an incentive of up to 7,500 paid in two parts:

• The first part after completing six months of continuous work.
• The second part after twelve months, if you complete a financial literacy program.

To encourage savings, part of the incentive is kept in a fixed deposit or other savings tool, which you can withdraw later. This helps improve financial security along with job benefits.

Support for Employers and Job Creation Rules in PM-VBRY

Employers registered with EPFO can benefit from PM-VBRY by getting monthly incentives for each new employee they hire. Here are the key details:

• Incentives range from 1,000 to 3,000 per new employee based on their EPF wage level.
• The incentive lasts for two years generally, with manufacturing sector workers eligible for up to four years.
• Hiring rules depend on employer size: businesses with fewer than 50 employees must hire at least two new workers, while those with 50 or more need to recruit five or more.
• To qualify, new employees must work continuously for at least six months.

Payments:

Beneficiary	Payment Mode	Account Linked
Employees	Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) via Aadhaar Bridge Payment System	Aadhaar-linked
Employers	Direct credit	PAN-linked bank accounts

This clear payment process makes sure the incentives reach the right people on time without delays or middlemen.

By supporting both new workers and businesses growing, PM Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana opens up more job chances and helps boost the economy.
