**Summary:**
The Ministry of Labour and Employment has launched the Pradhan Mantri Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana (PMVB Rozgar Yojana) portal, following the Prime Minister's announcement on Independence Day and subsequent Union Cabinet approval on July 1, 2025. This Employment Linked Incentive Scheme, with a total outlay of ₹99,446 Crore, aims to incentivize the creation of over 3.5 Crore jobs within a two-year period.
The PMVB Rozgar Yojana is designed to support employment generation, enhance employability, and expand social security coverage across all sectors, with a particular emphasis on manufacturing. The scheme applies to jobs created between August 1, 2025, and July 31, 2027. It provides incentives of up to ₹15,000 (in two installments) to newly employed youth and up to ₹3,000 per month per new employee to employers for creating new job opportunities.
Payments to first-time employees (Part A of the scheme) will be made through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) using the Aadhaar Bridge Payment System (ABPS). Payments to employers (Part B) will be directly deposited into their PAN-linked accounts.
Employers can register on the PMVB Rozgar Yojana portal at https://pmvbry.epfindia.gov.in or https://pmvbry.labour.gov.in. First-time employees are required to generate a Universal Account Number (UAN) via Face Authentication Technology (FAT) available on the UMANG app.
The scheme offers several benefits: for employees, it formalizes jobs through expanded social security coverage, provides on-the-job training, improves employability, and imparts financial literacy skills. For employers, it offsets the cost of additional job creation, enhances workforce stability and productivity, and incentivizes social security coverage.
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), under the Ministry of Labour and Employment, will implement the PMVB Rozgar Yojana.
