across  all  sectors  including  MSMEs  and  rural  enterprises,  with  a particular  focus  on  the  manufacturing  sector.  The  scheme  was launched on 15th August 2025. The scheme has a registration period of two years from 01.08.2025 to 31.07.2027 and a budgetary outlay of

₹99,446 Crore.

The scheme aims to incentivise creation of more than 3.5 Crore  jobs  all  across  the  country  including  the  state  of  Andhra Pradesh.

The scheme comprises of two parts i.e. Part A and Part B and focuses on providing support to both employees and employers by way of incentives. The scheme provides for incentives for 1.92 crore new eligible employees under Part A. Incentive for creation of approx. 2.59 crore additional jobs to employers is provided for under

Part B of the scheme.

The scheme and its provisions have been widely disseminated through extensive outreach efforts across the country. Further,  Ministry  has  prioritised  State-level  outreach  through  highlevel  meetings  with  State  Labour  and  Industry  Ministers  and  by constituting  State  Cross-Functional  Teams  comprising  EPFO,  ESIC and CLC officers. These teams are conducting workshops, webinars and  stakeholder  meetings,  and  are  engaging  directly  with  State authorities and industry to strengthen awareness and participation at the grassroots level.

A dedicated portal (pmbry.epfindia.gov.in) has been developed to facilitate all scheme-related processes and for real-time monitoring of beneficiaries and sector-wise progress.

Detailed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), scheme guideline and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) have been made available on this portal for ease of understanding.
