PMMVY Andhra Pradesh covers eligible women across AP’s 26 districts through the national portal at pmmvy.wcd.gov.in. Andhra Pradesh is notable for running the YSR Aarogyasri health insurance scheme alongside central PMMVY, providing significant hospitalisation coverage that complements PMMVY’s cash support. Furthermore, AP’s Village Secretariat system — launched under the YSRCP government — provides a unique ground-level welfare registration channel that can assist PMMVY applicants in rural areas. This guide covers everything AP beneficiaries need in 2026.

YSR Aarogyasri and PMMVY — How They Work Together
YSR Aarogyasri is AP’s state health insurance scheme providing up to ₹5 lakh annual coverage for hospitalisation to all BPL families. Maternity-related hospital expenses — including delivery, C-section, and post-natal care — are covered under Aarogyasri. Consequently, AP women can receive PMMVY cash support for wage compensation alongside Aarogyasri hospital coverage for delivery costs — the two schemes serve different purposes and do not conflict.
To benefit from both: register for PMMVY at pmmvy.wcd.gov.in and register your delivery at a government hospital empanelled under YSR Aarogyasri. Your YSR Aarogyasri card or AP White Ration Card is the entry point for the state health scheme. Additionally, the AP Village Secretariat system — available in every village — can help rural AP women navigate both registrations simultaneously.
PMMVY AP — Bank and Aadhaar Specifics
Andhra Pradesh has a high concentration of Andhra Pragathi Grameena Bank, AP Grameena Vikas Bank, and Indian Bank accounts among rural beneficiaries. All are eligible for PMMVY DBT. However, the Andhra Bank merger into Union Bank of India in 2020 changed IFSC codes for thousands of AP accounts. Therefore, verify your current IFSC code from a recent passbook before submitting your PMMVY application.
AP has strong Aadhaar enrollment coverage, but some women in remote tribal areas of Alluri Sitharama Raju, Anakapalli, and Parvathipuram Manyam districts may have Aadhaar-bank seeding gaps. Verify Aadhaar seeding at your bank branch before applying.
PMMVY AP Escalation
For unresolved PMMVY issues in AP: AWC → mandal CDPO → district WCD office → AP State Women Development Corporation at Amaravati → CPGRAMS at pgportal.gov.in. Additionally, the AP Village Secretariat at your village is an accessible first point of contact for welfare scheme grievances. Use the PMMVY grievance letter generator for formal complaints.
Frequently Asked Questions — PMMVY Andhra Pradesh
Can AP women claim both PMMVY and YSR Aarogyasri?
Yes. PMMVY provides ₹5,000 cash support for wage loss. YSR Aarogyasri provides health insurance covering hospital delivery costs. Both serve different purposes and are completely compatible.
Does the Andhra Bank merger affect my PMMVY payment?
If you had an Andhra Bank account, it is now a Union Bank of India account with a new IFSC code. Update your IFSC in the PMMVY portal before your installment is released — otherwise the payment will fail.
Can I get PMMVY help at the AP Village Secretariat?
Yes. AP Village Secretariats assist with central welfare scheme registrations including PMMVY. Your village welfare assistant can help with registration guidance and linking you to the correct AWC.
Is there a separate PMMVY Andhra Pradesh portal?
No. All AP PMMVY registrations use the national portal at pmmvy.wcd.gov.in. There is no separate AP state PMMVY portal.
