The amount will be available only on these conditions

This new scheme launched by the government focuses especially on the manufacturing sector. The scheme has been made keeping this in mind. Under this scheme, as soon as the youth works in a company or gets a job for the first time, they will be given this amount. However, many conditions have also been imposed on this. Under this, the youth who get a job will have to work in that company for at least 6 months. Along with this, it is necessary for the company to be registered with EPFO. If all these conditions are fulfilled, then the youth will be given incentive money.
