Mukhyamantri Kanya Sumangala Yojana is Uttar Pradesh’s flagship scheme for girl children — a total of ₹25,000 per girl, paid out not as one lump sum but across six separate stages of her life, from birth through higher education admission. The amount was enhanced from ₹15,000 in 2024, so if you registered before that increase, it’s worth confirming your remaining installments reflect the new total. Last updated: 10.07.2026.
Scheme details
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Official name | Mukhyamantri Kanya Sumangala Yojana (MKSY) |
| Total benefit | ₹25,000 per girl child (enhanced from ₹15,000 in 2024) |
| Number of installments | 6, tied to life stages |
| Run by | Women & Child Development Department, Uttar Pradesh |
The 6 payment stages
| Stage | Trigger |
|---|---|
| 1 | Birth of the girl child |
| 2 | Completion of 1-year vaccination |
| 3 | Admission to Class 1 |
| 4 | Admission to Class 6 |
| 5 | Admission to Class 9 |
| 6 | Admission to graduation or a 2-year+ diploma course after Class 12 |
Each stage releases its share of the ₹25,000 total directly via DBT once you submit proof of that milestone — a fresh birth certificate at stage 1, vaccination records at stage 2, school admission proof for stages 3-5, and a college/diploma admission letter for the final stage.
Who is eligible
- Permanent resident of Uttar Pradesh.
- Family annual income of ₹3,00,000 or below.
- Maximum of 2 living girl children per family — with special provisions for twin girls born in a second delivery, and for a legally adopted orphan girl child.
Documents required
- Aadhaar card of the girl child (or of parents, if the child’s Aadhaar isn’t yet issued at the birth stage) and parents
- Domicile certificate
- Income certificate (below ₹3 lakh/year)
- Birth certificate
- Bank account details, in the mother’s name where possible
- Passport-size photograph
- Stage-specific proof — vaccination card, school admission receipt, or college admission letter depending on which installment you’re claiming
How to apply
- Go to mksy.up.gov.in.
- Register as a new user with your mobile number and basic details.
- Fill in the girl child’s details and select the current applicable stage.
- Upload all required documents for that stage.
- Submit — you can return to the same account to claim later stages as your daughter reaches each milestone, rather than reapplying from scratch each time.
Checking your application or installment status
Log in at mksy.up.gov.in with your registered mobile number to see which stages have been paid and which are pending. If a stage payment seems delayed after you’ve submitted the required proof, the helpline below can help trace the holdup — most commonly a document mismatch or an unlinked bank account.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to reapply for each of the 6 stages?
No — you register once, and return to the same portal account to submit proof and claim each subsequent stage as your daughter reaches that milestone.
What happens if I have a third daughter?
MKSY caps benefits at 2 living girl children per family, with specific exceptions for twins in a second delivery or a legally adopted orphan girl — a third daughter outside those exceptions generally wouldn’t qualify.
Is the ₹25,000 amount final, or could it increase again?
It was raised from ₹15,000 to ₹25,000 in 2024. No further increase has been announced as of this update — treat ₹25,000 as the current confirmed total.

Register at birth if you can — starting early means you’re not scrambling to prove earlier-stage milestones later, and it keeps your daughter’s file active in the system for every subsequent installment.
