Nara Lokesh garu announced in Machilipatnam that this scheme will be launched soon in 2025. He made a key announcement there, stating that every unemployed person will receive ₹3000 directly into their bank accounts. As a result, many people are showing interest and asking about what will happen and what documents are required.
In this article, I will explain the minimum and maximum age requirements, necessary documents, educational qualifications, whether those with an EPF account are eligible, and who is eligible. Additionally I will clarify whether there will be a six-month evaluation period and how the website will be designed.

AP Unemployment Scheme Eligibility and Educational Qualifications
- As part of the topic, the unemployment allowance of ₹3000 per month will be provided to those who have a minimum qualification of a diploma, degree, or postgraduate degree.
- In the past, the Yuvanestham scheme was implemented, and an open portal was provided for it. Individuals logged in and uploaded original documents.
- This indicates that you need to keep your original documents ready. Similarly, bank account details were also uploaded. Everything is now being processed through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
- So, when you apply through the portal, the government has promised to provide jobs to 20 lakh unemployed individuals across the state.
- Since providing jobs to everyone will take time, this ₹3000 financial assistance is being given to bridge the gap. Until a job is provided, this ₹3000 will be credited to your account every month.
AP Unemployment Scheme Documents Required & Application Procedure
Regarding the required documents for the unemployment allowance,
- a minimum qualification of a diploma, degree, or postgraduate degree is necessary, as this was the case in the past as well.
- A degree is compulsory, and those with a postgraduate degree are almost certainly eligible. Those with a diploma also have a good chance of eligibility.
- You must keep your original documents ready, including the latest documents. Additionally, you need a ration card, Aadhaar card, income certificate, and a working mobile number linked to Aadhaar for OTP verification.
- The mobile number should also be linked to your bank account, as it plays a critical role. When applying through the open portal, you will need to upload documents yourself.
- If you provide the documents to the secretariat staff or through MeeSeva, that’s fine, but if an open portal is provided, you will need to upload them yourself.
Scheme Details & Wealth Eligibility
Previously, the Yuvanestham scheme was implemented, and now it’s being referred to as the unemployment allowance.
- Regarding the ₹3000 per month, if there are two unemployed individuals in a household, both may be eligible, as this was promised in the past. The allowance is meant for those who are neither employed in private jobs nor government jobs.
- Those with private or government jobs are not eligible. Similarly, those with an EPF account are not eligible, as an EPF account indicates employment.
- In the past, the eligibility criteria included owning less than five acres of land, but now the evaluation criteria state that dry land should not exceed three acres, and wetland should not exceed 10 acres.
- Additionally, owning a four-wheeler, paying income tax, being a retired government employee, or owning urban property larger than 1000 square feet will also make you ineligible.
These criteria are part of the six-month evaluation process to ensure that the allowance reaches genuinely unemployed individuals who lack financial stability.
Evaluation and Portal Design
There is a possibility of a six-month evaluation period, and only a few may be filtered out during this process. Since it is estimated that there are 20 lakh unemployed individuals, the government has decided to provide this ₹3000 monthly allowance to all eligible individuals. Certificates and documents will be verified, and a portal will be designed soon. You must remember to apply for a ration card if you don’t have one.
The government has stated that ration cards will be issued within 21 days of applying, and the application process is open throughout the year. An income certificate and caste certificate are also required. Your bank account must be linked to NPCI for Direct Benefit Transfer, as the amount will be credited directly to your account. If you open a post office account, it will be easier, as it will already be linked for DBT.
Age Criteria
- For students, ensure you have all your diploma, degree, or postgraduate documents ready. If you are 20 years old, keep your documents ready.
- The minimum age is said to be 20, and the maximum is 35, but there is a possibility that the minimum age may be raised to 25, making it 25 to 35.
- This is an approximation, as new guidelines are yet to be released. According to the old guidelines, the age range is 20 to 35, but new guidelines may set the minimum age at 20 and the maximum at 30.
- Keep your college documents ready, take photos of them, and store them in your gallery or drive for easy uploading when needed.
Conclusion
Through this, you can directly receive the unemployment allowance in your bank account. Nara Lokesh garu announced in Machilipatnam that the unemployment allowance will be provided this year, so everyone is showing interest, and they should. There’s nothing complicated about applying when the scheme is launched.
Even if you don’t have a ration card or an NPCI-linked bank account, household mapping is very important. Those who want to avail of the unemployment allowance must ensure they are part of household mapping.
Your Aadhaar card is crucial, and if your age is incorrectly listed in the household mapping, you may not be eligible. Since the age range is assumed to be 20 to 35, ensure your age is correctly listed in the Aadhaar card. A minimum degree takes about 21 years to complete (10th + 2 years intermediate + 4 years degree = 21-22 years).
Therefore, unemployed individuals are those who have completed their qualifications but haven’t secured a job. Based on this, I believe the minimum age might be set at 25 and the maximum at 35, but this is just my assumption, not final. Since a degree qualification is required, this is an estimation.
Final Requirements
To benefit from the scheme, ensure you are part of household mapping and that your bank account is NPCI-linked. Check if your mobile number is working and linked to both your Aadhaar and bank account. Verify that you have all your original documents, either physically or stored in your drive or gallery.
If you have an EPF account, you are unlikely to be eligible, as it indicates employment. A website for the scheme is likely to be launched soon, as the scheme is set to be released in 2025. I will explain how to use the website, upload documents, and receive the monthly amount through a live demo, whether it’s through the secretariat or MeeSeva.
Observe what I show on the screen, as I will display the documents required for the scheme announced by Nara Lokesh garu. I will also show the required documents and qualifications on a second screenshot to give you a clear understanding of the unemployment allowance.
Final guidelines will be released when the scheme is launched, but they are likely to be similar to what has been discussed. Just like the Thalli Vandanam scheme, where amounts were credited the next day after the guidelines were released, the government is quick to act. So, there’s no need to delay. Prepare the requirements mentioned, and if any additional guidelines are released, I will inform you about them.
