FAQ 2026 (Frequently Asked Questions)

Can I apply if I am currently a student in 2026?

No. This scheme is meant for "unemployed youth" who are seeking jobs in 2026. If you are a regular student in a college or university right now, you are usually considered a student, not an unemployed job seeker. However, if you are doing a distance course or just preparing for competitive exams at home in 2026, you typically count as unemployed.

I am already getting Yuvasree money. Can I apply for Yuva Sathi 2026?

You cannot get benefits from two similar government schemes at the same time. If you apply for Banglar Yuva Sathi 2026, you might have to give up your old Yuvasree benefit. The benefit amount is the same (Rs 1,500), but Yuva Sathi 2026 is the newer initiative.

Can General Category students apply in 2026?

Yes! This scheme is for everyone - General, SC, ST, OBC - as long as you meet the 2026 age and education criteria.

Is there any family income limit for 2026?

The government hasn't specified a strict family income limit in the initial 2026 announcement, but usually, these schemes are for the economically weaker sections. We will confirm this once the official 2026 notification is out.

Can women apply in 2026?

Yes, absolutely. Both men and women can apply. However, women already getting "Lakshmir Bhandar" in 2026 might need to check if they can get this too. Usually, one person gets one major social security benefit.

When will the 2026 application form be available?

The application process is expected to start after August 15, 2026.
