Maternity Benefit Scheme (HBOCWWB) supports registered women construction workers in Haryana by providing cash support after childbirth. This welfare scheme of Haryana Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board continues to accept fresh applications through the Antyodaya SARAL portal in the 2026-27 period. The money helps cover motherhood expenses and keeps nutritious food within reach for the newborn.
Maternity Benefit Scheme (HBOCWWB) is a state level scheme of Haryana Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (HBOCWWB) under Labour Department Haryana. It helps women working in the construction sector by paying a fixed amount after delivery, so that the family does not have to worry about basic expenses during the early months of the child.
Under this scheme, a registered woman worker gets ₹36,000 in total. This amount is split as ₹30,000 for motherhood support and ₹6,000 for nutritious food. A worker can claim this support for up to two children, and the benefit also extends to a third daughter regardless of her birth order. For example, if Meena, a registered worker, gives birth to her first two children, she gets full benefits; if her third child is a daughter, she remains eligible for support.
Keeping the board membership regular is very important. Registration and renewal on the board keep the membership live, and membership of at least one year is checked at the time of verification.
