Pimpri-Chinchwad: Meritorious students who have passed Class 10 or 12 can benefit from a financial assistance scheme run by the Social Development Department of the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation. Since eligible families may sometimes miss such schemes due to lack of information, students and parents are being encouraged to check their eligibility and application details in time.

According to PCMC’s official information, Maharashtra State Board students securing 80% to 90% in Class 10 or 12 can receive ₹10,000, while CBSE and ICSE students in the same marks range can receive ₹5,000. Students securing more than 90% can receive ₹15,000 under the Maharashtra State Board category and ₹7,500 under CBSE/ICSE.

The scheme is listed among PCMC’s limited-period welfare schemes, making it important for students to verify the current application window, required documents and eligibility conditions before submitting an application.

Students or parents who need help understanding the process can approach the concerned PCMC department or local ward office. Where local public representatives or help centres are assisting citizens with forms and documents, their guidance can also be taken.

PCMC24 Appeal: If a student in your family or neighbourhood has scored well in Class 10 or 12, share this information with them. Eligible students should not miss the benefit simply because they were unaware of the scheme.
