What is the PM Internship Scheme?

The Prime Minister Internship Scheme (PMIS) operates under a Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) model. Interns will receive a monthly stipend of ₹5,000 for a duration of 12 months.

Participating companies will initially pay this amount from their CSR funds, based on the intern’s attendance and performance.
Once the company releases the payment, the government will reimburse ₹4,500 directly into the intern’s Aadhaar-linked bank account.
Companies are allowed to offer more than ₹5,000 per month if they choose to do so.

Eligible candidates must apply through the official Ministry of Corporate Affairs portal: www.primeministership.mca.gov.in
