Independent guide. Money Schemes is not a government website and does not take applications or payments. Apply only on the official portal, at a post office, a bank branch or a Common Service Centre.
PM Vishwakarma Yojana online apply is done only through a Common Service Centre, where the operator verifies your Aadhaar with a fingerprint or face scan and fills the artisan form on the official portal for you. An artisan cannot finish the registration alone from a home phone, and no fee is payable for it.
Before you go, know that the scheme has met its target of 30 lakh registrations. Call or visit the CSC first and ask whether fresh PM Vishwakarma Yojana registration is being accepted in your block. What the scheme gives is covered on our PM Vishwakarma benefits page.

What to carry to the CSC
- Aadhaar, plus the phone whose number is tied to it, charged and working
- Ration card, which gives the family details; if there is none, the Aadhaar of each family member
- Bank passbook or account number and IFSC of an account in your own name
- Any proof of your trade you have, such as photos of your work or a local association card (helpful, not always asked)
- Caste certificate, only if you want it recorded
The operator also asks which of the 18 trades you work in, how long you have done it, and whether you have taken any self-employment loan in the past five years.
PM Vishwakarma Yojana online apply: the four stages at the CSC
- Mobile and Aadhaar check. The operator enters your mobile number and Aadhaar. An OTP and the biometric scan confirm your identity.
- Artisan registration form. Name, address, trade, family members, bank account and loan history are filled in. Read each field back before it is saved.
- Digital ID and certificate. Once the form is accepted, the system gives a PM Vishwakarma digital ID. The certificate is issued after the three checks below.
- Scheme components. After approval, you can ask for training, the toolkit e-voucher, the loan and the digital payment support from the same login.
Ask the operator for a printout or screenshot of the acknowledgement with your registration number.
The three checks after you enrol
Your application then waits for verification. It goes first to the gram panchayat head, or to the urban local body in a town, who confirms you are a working artisan in that trade. Then the District Implementation Committee looks at it and recommends. Finally a Screening Committee approves it. If any level rejects the form, the reason is shown in the status.
Only after approval are you called for skill verification and the 5 to 7 day basic training, which pays 500 rupees a day.
Checking how far your Vishwakarma yojana registration has gone
Use the applicant login on pmvishwakarma.gov.in using the mobile number given at enrolment plus an OTP. The status will usually read one of these:
| Status shown | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending at gram panchayat or ULB | First level check not done yet |
| Pending at district committee | Passed the local check, waiting for the district |
| Pending at screening committee | Waiting for the final approval |
| Approved | Certificate and ID can be downloaded; wait for the training call |
| Rejected | Read the remark; common reasons are trade not matching, a family member already enrolled, or a recent self-employment loan |
Why forms get rejected and how to avoid it
- Two people from one family. Only one enrolment per family is allowed. If your spouse is already registered, you cannot be added.
- Trade not visible. The panchayat head may not know your work. Show photos or a workplace visit.
- Recent loan. A PMEGP, PM SVANidhi or Mudra loan taken within five years blocks entry under the guidelines.
- Government job in the family. This makes the whole family ineligible.
- Bank account mismatch. Name on the account must match Aadhaar.
Avoid touts and fake forms
No website other than the official portal and no person other than a CSC operator can register you. Social media posts that offer a vishwakarma yojana apply link, ask for a fee, or promise the 15,000 rupee toolkit in cash are not genuine. The toolkit support comes as an e-voucher only after approval and training.
If you are in Uttar Pradesh, the separate state scheme called Vishwakarma Shram Samman has its own online registration; see the Shram Samman guide. Street vendors can compare with PM SVANidhi.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a last date for pm vishwakarma yojana registration?
The Vishwakarma site lists no end date for enrolment. The scheme has reached its 30 lakh registration target, so ask your CSC whether new enrolment is open where you live.
Can I do pm vishwakarma yojana online registration on my phone?
No. Biometric Aadhaar authentication is needed, so enrolment is only at a CSC.
How long does approval take?
It depends on how quickly the panchayat, district committee and screening committee act. Many artisans wait weeks or months. Check the applicant login regularly.
Is vishwakarma shram samman yojana online registration the same thing?
No. That is an Uttar Pradesh state scheme with its own portal and rules. PM Vishwakarma is the central scheme enrolled through CSCs.
My form was rejected. Can I apply again?
Only if the reason can be fixed, such as a wrong bank account. Rejections for a family member already enrolled or a recent loan usually cannot be reversed. Call 18002677777 to ask.
Does the CSC charge money?
Registration is free for the artisan. If a centre asks for money, note its name and report it to the helpline.
