What this scheme offers
Launched in October 2019, this conditional cash transfer scheme pays a Uttar Pradesh family a total of ₹25,000 (increased from ₹15,000 in 2024) for a girl child, released in six stages tied to her health and education milestones: ₹5,000 at birth, ₹2,000 on completing vaccination, ₹3,000 on Class 1 admission, ₹3,000 on Class 6 admission, ₹5,000 on Class 9 admission, and ₹7,000 on securing admission to a graduate or diploma course after Class 12. The staged structure is deliberate — it keeps the incentive tied to the girl staying in school and receiving proper healthcare at each stage, rather than paying out once and losing that leverage.
Who is eligible
- The girl child's family must be a permanent resident of Uttar Pradesh.
- Family annual income must not exceed ₹3,00,000.
- Maximum of two daughters per family can be enrolled (with exceptions for twins/triplets in specific circumstances).
- The girl must be enrolled/progressing at each relevant stage (vaccination, Class 1, Class 6, Class 9, Class 10/11/12, graduation/diploma) to claim that installment.
Documents required
- Aadhaar card (of the girl and parents)
- Birth certificate
- Income certificate
- Residence proof
- Bank account details (girl's or mother's account, as specified)
- Passport-size photograph
- Vaccination certificate and school admission proof, at the relevant stages
How to apply
- Visit the official portal (mksy.up.gov.in) and register using a valid mobile number, verified via OTP.
- Fill in the family, income and girl child's details for the applicable stage.
- Upload the required documents (Aadhaar, birth certificate, income certificate, bank details) as per the stage you're applying for.
- Submit the application — it's reviewed at the district level for verification.
- Once approved, the installment is transferred via DBT to the registered bank account.
- Reapply at each subsequent stage (Class 6, Class 9, graduation admission, etc.) as your daughter reaches that milestone — this isn't a one-time application covering all six stages automatically in every district's process.
