🎓 Bihar Government Gives ₹50,000 to Daughters — Know How to Avail It

Balasahana Suresh
The Bihar government runs a special scheme to promote girls’ education and empowerment, under which eligible girls receive up to ₹50,000 as financial support upon completing their graduation level education.

This initiative is part of efforts to encourage education, reduce financial burdens on families, and empower women in the state.

📌 What is the Scheme Called?

The scheme is widely known as the “Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthaan Yojana” (Chief Minister’s girl Child Upliftment Scheme).

Under this scheme, girls receive cash incentives at various stages of education, including a one‑time amount of ₹50,000 after successfully completing graduation.

🧾 Benefits Under the Scheme

Here’s how the support is usually structured:

Education Level

Incentive Amount

After passing Intermediate (12th) — unmarried girls

₹25,000

After passing Graduation — unmarried girls

₹50,000

Total potential support (birth to graduation)

Up to ₹94,100 (cumulative across stages)

This means once a girl completes her graduation and meets eligibility criteria, she is eligible to receive ₹50,000 as a one‑time incentive.

🧠 Who Is Eligible?

To avail the ₹50,000 benefit for graduation:

✔ The applicant must be a permanent resident of Bihar.
✔ The girl must have passed her graduation (Bachelor’s degree) from a recognised institution.
✔ Typically, the girl must be unmarried at the time of previous incentives (such as the 12th‑pass incentive) to benefit fully; for the graduation incentive, unmarried status is generally required — but rules can vary by year.
✔ Other documents like Aadhaar card, educational mark sheets, and residence proof are required when applying.

📝 How to Apply

The application process for Bihar’s financial support schemes for girls has been made simple and partly online, though traditional offline options might also be available:

    • “For Intermediate pass” (₹25,000),
    • “For Graduation pass” (₹50,000).
3. Login / Register

  • You may need to log in using a registered mobile number or use your Aadhaar/registration number.

💡 Things to Keep in Mind

Once approved, the ₹50,000 benefit is typically transferred directly into the girl’s bank account through DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer).

Ensure all uploaded documents are legible and correct — errors can delay approval.

📌 Eligibility Verification:
The government may verify your documents before approving the incentive.

📌 Updates & Deadlines:
Check the official portal regularly for application deadlines and any updated guidelines for that academic year.
