PMMVY: 59 Lakh Women Receive Maternity Benefits in 2025-26

The Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY) is a scheme that gives money to women who are pregnant or have just had a baby.

In 2025-26, over 59 lakh women got benefits worth Rs 2,022.08 crore.

Since the scheme started in 2017, more than 4.26 crore women have received benefits.

The government uses a facial recognition system to make sure the right people get the money.

This system has been used to enroll over 23 lakh beneficiaries.

The government also has a list called the 'Due List' to help more women sign up for the scheme.

If there are any problems, people can complain through a special system, and most complaints are solved quickly.
