Rashtriya Parivarik Labh Yojana (National Family Benefit Scheme)
A one-time payment of ₹30,000 to a below-poverty-line family when its main earning member dies
When the person who earned the family's income dies, this scheme pays the family ₹30,000 in one go.

Rejected or still waiting? Check these first
Most applications fail for a correctable reason, not because the applicant was ineligible. Before assuming you do not qualify, check each of these:
- Family register extract does not show the person who died as the head or earner
- Income certificate shows the family above the poverty line
- Application filed long after the death, beyond the time allowed
- Death certificate not yet issued by the registrar
