The correct answer is option 'C', which means that the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY) provides the financial assistance of Rs. 5000 in three installments.
The Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY) is a maternity benefit program launched by the Government of India in 2017. It aims to provide financial assistance to pregnant women and lactating mothers for the loss of wages and to ensure proper rest and nutrition during pregnancy and after delivery.
The financial assistance under PMMVY is provided in the form of cash transfer to the beneficiary woman's bank account. The total amount of Rs. 5000 is provided in three installments:
1. First Installment: The first installment of Rs. 1000 is transferred to the beneficiary woman's bank account upon registration of her pregnancy in the government system and after the completion of the first antenatal check-up.
2. Second Installment: The second installment of Rs. 2000 is transferred to the beneficiary woman's bank account after the completion of the second antenatal check-up, which is usually done between 6-7 months of pregnancy.
3. Third Installment: The third and final installment of Rs. 2000 is transferred to the beneficiary woman's bank account after the birth of the child and upon the submission of required documents such as the child's birth certificate and the mother's Aadhaar card.
These installments help the pregnant women and new mothers to meet their nutritional needs and take adequate rest during pregnancy and after delivery. The financial assistance provided through PMMVY aims to support them in maintaining good health and nutrition, reducing the incidence of child mortality, and promoting the overall well-being of both the mother and the child.
In conclusion, the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY) provides a total of Rs. 5000 in three installments to working women for the loss of wages during pregnancy and after delivery of their first child.
