⚡ Key Facts at a Glance
New Government Schemes Launched in April 2025 — Overview
Several new central and state government schemes were launched or updated in and around April 2025. This page brings together the latest yojanas in one place so you can quickly see what was announced, who it is meant for and where to register. You can browse the full list of national programmes on our central government schemes page and find related explainers in the scheme blog.
The schemes span very different needs — emergency medical care for accident victims, financial support for girl children and women, rural solar lighting, fertilizer subsidies for farmers and cooking-gas relief for households. Because eligibility and benefit amounts differ from scheme to scheme, treat the sections below as a starting point and confirm the fine print on the official notification for each programme.
As a simple, clearly hypothetical example: suppose Meena, a homemaker in Punjab, reads about the Mawan Dhiyan Satkar Yojana, checks whether she meets the eligibility conditions, and registers after the window opened on 15 April 2025 — in that situation she would look to receive the monthly support announced for the scheme once her application is approved.
Who is Eligible — Complete Criteria 2026
- ✅ Road accident victims can use the PM Rahat Scheme for cashless medical treatment up to ₹1.5 lakh at empanelled hospitals.
- ✅ Girl children in Delhi are covered by the Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana, which provides support from birth through graduation.
- ✅ Women in Punjab may be eligible for the Mawan Dhiyan Satkar Yojana monthly assistance.
- ✅ Existing PM Ujjwala Yojana consumers can avail the ₹300 per cylinder LPG subsidy, capped at 9 cylinders per year via DBT.
- ✅ Farmers in Uttar Pradesh needed a Farmer ID, which became mandatory for fertilizer subsidies and PM Kisan benefits.
- ❌ Applicants who do not meet a specific scheme's stated criteria (state of residence, category, beneficiary type) are not eligible for that scheme.
- ❌ Each scheme is separate — qualifying for one does not automatically qualify you for another.
How to Apply — Step-by-Step 2026
- Identify the right scheme: Decide which programme fits your situation — for example, the Delhi Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana for a girl child or the PM Ujjwala subsidy for an LPG consumer.
- Find the official portal: Use the portal named for that scheme — for the Delhi Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana this is the Delhi e-District portal; for others, check the official portal or notification.
- Check eligibility and documents: Confirm you meet the stated criteria and keep the required documents ready (see the table below).
- Register or apply: Complete the registration form online where available, or follow the offline process stated in the notification.
- Complete eKYC / Aadhaar linking: Where the benefit is paid via DBT, ensure your Aadhaar is linked to your bank account and eKYC is done so payments are not held up.
- Save your reference number: Note the application or reference ID so you can track status later.
Documents Required

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I registered but have not received any payment. What should I do?
First check that your Aadhaar is linked to your bank account and that eKYC is complete, since most DBT delays are caused by these. Then check your application status on the scheme's official portal, and if it still shows pending or paid without credit, raise a grievance on pgportal.gov.in.
Q: How do I check my application status?
Use the official portal for the specific scheme and the application or reference number you received at registration. For the Delhi Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana, for example, this is the Delhi e-District portal.
Q: My application was rejected. Can I reapply?
Check the reason given on the portal. Many rejections are due to missing documents, a mismatch in details or unmet eligibility. Correct the issue and reapply, or file a grievance on pgportal.gov.in if you believe the rejection was an error.
Q: The benefit amount I received seems wrong. What now?
Compare the amount with the official benefit for that scheme (for example, the ₹300 per cylinder Ujjwala subsidy is capped at 9 cylinders per year). If there is still a genuine mismatch, contact the scheme department or raise a grievance on the official portal.
Q: Why is eKYC or Aadhaar linking important?
For benefits paid through Direct Benefit Transfer, the government verifies you through Aadhaar and pays into the linked bank account. Without completed eKYC and Aadhaar–bank linking, payments can be held up or fail even after approval.
Q: I am a new applicant. Where do I start?
Identify the scheme that fits your situation, open its official portal, check the eligibility and documents, and complete the online registration. Keep your Aadhaar and bank details ready for DBT-based schemes.
Q: Do these schemes differ from state to state?
Yes. Some are central schemes available across India (such as PM Rahat and PM Ujjwala), while others are state schemes limited to that state's residents (such as the Delhi and Punjab schemes listed here). Always check the rules for your state.
Q: How do I file a complaint if nothing else works?
Use the central public grievance portal at pgportal.gov.in. Submit your complaint with your application reference number and supporting details so the concerned department can act on it.
Helpline Numbers & Grievance Portal
- ✅ Central public grievance portal: pgportal.gov.in — for complaints on any central or state scheme.
- ✅ Scheme-specific helpline: check the official portal or notification for the relevant scheme (no single helpline number was provided in the source for these schemes).
- ✅ Keep your application or reference number handy when raising any grievance.
