Under Part A of PMVBRY, a first-time EPF member gets a benefit equal to one month's EPF wage, up to ₹15,000, paid in instalments directly to an Aadhaar-linked bank account. You need a UAN generated through face authentication on UMANG and you must stay in the job for the required period.

Who is eligible

What to do

  1. Generate UAN with face authentication on UMANG
  2. Link Aadhaar to your bank account for DBT
  3. Stay in the job; employer files returns
  4. Instalments paid to your bank

Check scheme details on the PMVBRY portal. For help with requirements, EPFO's verified WhatsApp service has a PMVBRY option.

The Ministry of Labour has warned about fake PMVBRY websites. The scheme is free; don't pay or share OTPs to "register".

Frequently asked questions

Did the ₹25,000 wage ceiling raise the PMVBRY benefit?

No. EPFO has said Part A still pays one month's EPF wage, up to ₹15,000.

Do I need to apply?

There is no separate application form; your UAN must be generated through face authentication and your Aadhaar-seeded bank account active. EPFO's WhatsApp service also helps with PMVBRY requirements.
