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
