Maintenance Grant for Children with Disabilities from Birth

Application Process

Applications can be made online, either personally or through a Common Service Center (CSC), using the Department's Pension Portal ( https://ssp.uk.gov.in ), the UMANG Mobile App, or the Apuni Sarkar Portal ( https://eservices.uk.gov.in ).
When applying, these documents must be provided: the applicant's mobile number, a passport-size photo (attested by the Gram Pradhan / V.P.D.O. / certified by the Councillor), photocopies of the Aadhaar card and Voter ID card, CBS bank account details (linked/seeded with Aadhaar), a valid family income or BPL certificate, a certificate of more than 40% disability, the child's birth certificate, a copy of the family register (rural areas only), and a copy of the resolution of the Gram Panchayat open meeting (rural areas) / certified by the Councillor (urban areas)
All these documents must come from the district in which the application is filed.
In rural areas, the online form is checked through recommendations from the Gram Panchayat Development Officer, the Assistant Social Welfare Officer, and the Block Development Officer in turn, with the District Social Welfare Officer taking the final decision. In urban areas, the Assistant Social Welfare Officer and the Sub-District Magistrate verify and recommend. When the application is found to be in order, the District Social Welfare Officer approves it and the pension payment process begins.
In addition to these documents, a certificate of more than 40% disability and a UID certificate from the Chief Medical Officer must also be submitted.
Within one month of approval, the pension is credited to the parent's bank account.
