Laado Protsahan Yojana is a Rajasthan government scheme that provides money help of ₹1,50,000 to girl children in seven installments from birth to graduation. As of August 2026, the scheme is active and has helped over 6.50 lakh girls across the state, with more than ₹360 crore paid out so far.
Laado Protsahan Yojana replaced the earlier Mukhyamantri Rajshree Yojana and expanded its scope. The scheme was launched on 1st August 2024 by the Department of Women Empowerment, Government of Rajasthan. It aims to create a positive attitude toward the birth of girl children and support their health, education, and overall development through DBT payment.
In March 2026, the government issued revised guidelines that removed three key barriers for eligible families. The survival certificate requirement for the second installment was dropped. The Rajasthan domicile certificate is no longer mandatory if the mother holds a Jan Aadhar card. A new integrated monitoring portal was also launched to track beneficiary data across health, school, and higher education systems.
The money help is transferred through DBT payment directly into the mother's bank account linked with her Jan Aadhar card. The installments are tied to specific life stages of the girl child, from birth through graduation at age 21. Until the girl turns 18, funds go to the parents' account; the final installment goes to the girl's own account after she completes graduation at age 21.

For example, if a girl is born in a government hospital, the first ₹5,000 is transferred to the mother's account automatically through the PCTS portal. The final installment of ₹70,000 is paid only when the girl completes her graduation and turns 21 years of age.
Eligibility
To get benefits under Laado Protsahan Yojana, the following conditions must be met:
- The mother must be a permanent resident of Rajasthan and hold a valid Jan Aadhar card. A separate domicile certificate is no longer required as per the March 2026 update.
- The girl child must have been born in a government hospital or a private hospital empanelled under Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY).
- The girl's vaccination record must be uploaded to the PCTS portal.
- For school-stage installments (Class 1 to 12), the girl must be studying in a government or government-affiliated school.
- For the graduation installment, the girl must have completed graduation from a recognized institution and attained 21 years of age.
Families who were already receiving benefits under the earlier Mukhyamantri Rajshree Yojana are automatically included in this scheme. No re-registration is needed for them.
Documents Required
Keep the following documents ready for verification at different stages:
- Jan Aadhar Card of the mother and the girl child
- Birth Certificate of the girl child issued by the hospital
- Child Health Card and vaccination record
- Bank passbook of the mother's account linked with Jan Aadhar
- Proof of institutional delivery
- Mobile number linked to Jan Aadhar for OTP and status updates
As per the March 2026 update, a separate Rajasthan domicile certificate is not required if the mother holds a Jan Aadhar card.
Application Process
There is no standalone application form. The process is automated and triggered at each stage:
STEP 1 - At the time of birth, the hospital staff registers the delivery on the PCTS portal (pctsrajmedical.rajasthan.gov.in). A PCTS ID is generated and the first installment of ₹5,000 is triggered automatically through DBT payment.
STEP 2 - When the girl completes her 9-12 month vaccination schedule, the PCTS portal updates automatically. The second installment of ₹5,000 is transferred without requiring a survival certificate, as per the March 2026 revision.
STEP 3 - At the time of school admission (Class 1, 6, 10, and 12), the school staff updates the girl's enrollment data on the Shala Darpan portal. The education department processes the installment automatically based on verified data.
STEP 4 - After graduation is complete and the girl has turned 21, the Higher Education Department verifies the data against enrollment records. The final installment of ₹70,000 is then transferred via DBT payment to the girl's personal bank account.
How to Check Installment Status
You can track your installment status through these channels:
- Visit the official portal at ojspm.rajasthan.gov.in and search using your Jan Aadhar number or PCTS ID
- Log in to the SSO portal at sso.rajasthan.gov.in with your SSO ID to access scheme-related status
- Contact your local Anganwadi worker or ASHA worker, who can help track payments using PCTS data
- Visit the nearest CDPO (Child Development Project Officer) office at the block level for complaints
The most common reason for delayed installments is that the Jan Aadhar card is not properly linked to the bank account, or the bank account is inactive. Check this first before raising a formal complaint.
