The Ministry of Women and Child Development is implementing Centrally Sponsored Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY) under which maternity benefits of ₹5,000/- is being provided in three installments to Pregnant Women & Lactating Mothers (PW&LM) for the first living child of the family upon fulfillment of certain conditionalities. The maternity benefit under PMMVY is available to all PW&LM, excluding those who are in regular employment with the Central Government or the State Governments or Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) or those who are in receipt of similar benefits under any law for the time being in force. The PMMVY is a component under Mission Shakti launched recently to provide integrated benefits to women. As per the recommendations of the Expenditure Finance Committee’s minutes on Mission Shakti, benefits for second child may be provided only if the second child is the girl child to discourage pre-birth-sex selection and promote the girl child.

This information was given by the Union Minister of Women and Child Development, Smt. Smriti Zubin Irani, in a written reply in Rajya Sabha today.
