How to use this list
The tables distinguish major beneficiary schemes from broader missions and programmes where useful. Historical launch information is retained for reference, but a launch-year description should not be read as proof that applications remain open or that original benefits continue unchanged.
For application, eligibility, current benefits or grievance information, verify the scheme on the responsible Ministry or Department website or through the Government of India's scheme-discovery portal.
