AI SummaryMadhya Pradesh Transport Department runs Motor Vehicle Driver-Conductor Welfare Scheme Maternity Assistance for registered commercial drivers and conductors, and applications are still taken at District and Regional Transport Offices. Under this scheme, the mother gets wage support equal to 45 days at the Collector Rate, the father gets 15 days, and ₹1,000 extra comes as delivery support under Janani Suraksha Yojana rules.
Driving a bus or truck means no paid leave when a baby arrives. That gap is what this scheme covers. Registered women drivers and conductors can apply, and so can the wives of registered male drivers and conductors, for up to two deliveries.
Motor Vehicle Driver-Conductor Welfare Scheme Maternity Assistance Details
This is one part of a bigger welfare package run by Madhya Pradesh Transport Department for transport workers. Other parts of the same package cover treatment costs, study support for children and self-employment loans. Maternity support sits inside this package as a cash benefit paid on the basis of the district Collector Rate, so the amount changes from district to district and gets revised as the rate is revised.
For example, if the Collector Rate in your district is ₹300 per day, the mother gets ₹13,500 and the father gets ₹4,500. Add ₹1,000 delivery support on top of that. Payment goes to the bank account linked with your Samagra record after the Transport Office checks the claim.
No change has been announced in the benefit amount, the eligibility rules or the apply process as of August 2026. The scheme is running, and the application form is still the one attached with the Transport Department scheme rules. If you also want treatment cover for your family, see Motor Vehicle Driver-Conductor Welfare Scheme Medical Assistance, and for children's fees there is Motor Vehicle Driver-Conductor Welfare Scheme Scholarship.

How to Apply for Maternity Support
Apply process is partly online and partly offline. Samagra registration is done online or at a service centre, but the claim form itself goes to the Transport Office in paper.
STEP 1 - First check that your name is registered and active on the Samagra Portal. If your family or member ID is not there, register online with your Aadhaar number and verify with the OTP that comes on your linked mobile.
STEP 2 - If online registration is a problem, go to the nearest Lok Seva Kendra, MP Online Kiosk or Common Service Centre and get the Samagra entry done there. Carry Aadhaar and a residence proof.
STEP 3 - Download the application form given with the official scheme rules PDF of the Transport Department. The maternity form is on page 9 of that document. Take a clean printout.
STEP 4 - Fill every column correctly, self-attest the copies of your documents, attach the pregnancy or delivery papers, and submit the full set at your District Transport Office or Regional Transport Office. Keep the receipt safe, since it is needed for follow-up.
Who Can Apply
Eligibility is checked on two levels. First your status as a transport worker, then the maternity part. Both have to match.
- You should be a permanent resident of Madhya Pradesh with proof of address.
- You should be working as a driver or conductor of a registered transport vehicle, with a valid commercial driving licence or conductor licence issued in Madhya Pradesh.
- Your family and member details should already be on the Samagra Portal, since payment is linked to that record.

- Support is given for two deliveries only, and the Janani Suraksha Yojana rules have to be followed for the ₹1,000 delivery amount.
