Namaste friends, today I am writing this blog post because for the last few weeks, my phone is getting so many messages about a scheme which is called as Meri Pehchan 1500 Rupees Scheme. Many peoples are sending me WhatsApp messages that the government is giving 1500 rupees every month under the Meri Pehchan Scheme and you can apply online. But when I checked this properly, I come to know that there is lots of confusion regarding this topic. So in this article, I will clear all your doubts regarding Meri Pehchan 1500 Rupees Scheme and tell you what is the real truth behind this viral news.
Meri Pehchan 1500 Rupees Scheme
First of all, let me tell you clearly that if you are looking for Meri Pehchan 1500 Rupees Scheme to get cash money in your bank account, then you are slightly mistaken. Actually, the correct Meri Pehchan Scheme is not about providing 1500 rupees cash money to everyone. The government has launched Meri Pehchan platform which is a National Single Sign-On (NSSO) service launched in July 2022 under Digital India.
This is only for easy login of government websites, not for providing money. However, there is also one private scholarship named Meri Pehchan Scholarship and also some other government schemes like Ladli Behna Yojana in Madhya Pradesh which is providing 1500 rupees to women. That is why peoples are getting confused and mixing all these schemes together.
| Scheme Name | Meri Pehchan is Digital ID Platform (Not Cash Scheme) |
| Run By | Ministry of Electronics & IT, Government of India |
| Website | meripehchaan.gov.in |
| Cash Benefit | Zero Rupees (No cash is given, only login facility) |
| For Students | Meri Pehchan Scholarship gives 30-100% fee waiver only |
| Real 1500 Scheme | MP Ladli Behna Yojana gives actual 1500 Rs to women |
| Documents | Aadhaar, Mobile Number, PAN Card required for Digital ID |
What is meripehchaan.gov.in Portal?
meripehchaan.gov.in is actually a very helpful portal developed by our government in July 2022. “National Single Sign-On platform means you sign in once and get to use many government services, no need to remember 100 passwords.
The thing is, you see, earlier we had to make a separate account for all these government sites, like for income tax, passport, digilocker, etc. That was really a headache, right? But with MeriPehchaan, you simply need to register once with your mobile number, Aadhaar, or PAN card, and you can access more than 11,000 services. It is a combination of three systems – Jan Parichay, which is for government employees, ePramaan, and DigiLocker. You can login with a username, mobile number, Aadhar, or even a driving license. Also, they have two-factor authentication, which makes it safe.
As per the latest data, it has registered 59 crores of people, and it is doing more than 2.5 crores of transactions every month. The best part is that it is completely free for all Indian citizens. You can use it to check your status for PM KISAN, scholarship applications, health certificates, tax portal, etc. basically everything is supported.
Meri Pehchan Scheme
Now, let me tell you about the actual Meri Pehchan Scheme, which is being operated by Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. This scheme has been created so that you don’t have to remember different passwords for different government websites. You can create one ID on meripehchaan.gov.in and use it for many services such as DigiLocker, Jan Parichay, etc. But this is only digital identity scheme, not a cash transfer scheme. So, if someone is telling you that register on Meri Pehchan Scheme and get 1500 rupees, then they are cheating you.
But there is one more thing called Meri Pehchan Scholarship, which has been launched by Times and Trends Academy (TTA). This is a private scholarship for students who have passed 10th and 12th class. Under this scholarship, you don’t get 1500 rupees cash directly in hand, but you can get 30% to 100% fee waiver (concession) for doing professional courses such as fashion designing, animation, interior designing, etc. So, many students think that this is also Meri Pehchan 1500 Rupees Scheme but actually it is a fee discount scheme, not a cash transfer scheme.
If you are actually looking for 1500 rupees monthly financial assistance, then you should check Madhya Pradesh government’s Ladli Behna Yojana where eligible women are getting 1500 rupees per month directly in bank account. Also there is Indira Gandhi National Widow Pension Scheme where widows gets approximately 1500 rupees monthly pension. But please don’t confuse these with Meri Pehchan 1500 Rupees Scheme.
