## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT (SUSHRI SHOBHA KARANDLAJE)

(a) to (e): The  Central  Government,  on  1  July  2025,  approved  the Employment Linked Incentive (ELI) Scheme, titled the Pradhan Mantri Viksit  Bharat  Rojgar  Yojana  (PMVBRY),  to  promote  employment generation,  enhance  employability,  and  strengthen  social  security across  all  sectors,  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, over a period of 2 years.

The scheme is demand-driven; therefore, there are no predetermined State-specific  targets  or  fixed  financial  allocations  for any State/UT, including Andhra Pradesh.

As of 24th March, 5.07 lakh establishments have registered under the scheme nationwide. In Andhra Pradesh, 16,912 establishments have been registered.

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 (pmvbry.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.
