Germany's Kindergeld: Rs 25,000 Monthly Child Benefit
The German government gives parents about Rs 25,000 each month per child, called Kindergeld, to help with raising them.
Everyone in Germany can get this money, regardless of their income.
If parents don't earn much, they may also get extra help.
The money stops when the child turns 18, but payments can continue if the child is unemployed or disabled.
Raising a child is expensive, with some parents in India struggling to save money.
Germany provides 255 euros monthly (approximately Rs 25,000) to parents for each child through Kindergeld.
Kindergeld is available to all parents in Germany, regardless of income level.
High-income earners might find a tax-free child allowance more beneficial than Kindergeld.
Low-income parents can receive an extra supplementary child allowance in addition to Kindergeld.
Parents receive Kindergeld until their child turns 18, with extensions possible.
