🚨 India's Big Push Towards Employment Generation 🚨
The Union Cabinet has approved the Employment Linked Incentive (ELI) Scheme — a ₹1 lakh crore initiative aimed at creating 3.5 crore new jobs in the next two years.
So, what makes this scheme significant?
🔹 Dual Focus:
Part A supports first-time employees (with incomes under ₹1 lakh/year) by offering up to ₹15,000 in EPF-linked benefits—split over two installments and tied to job retention and financial literacy.
Part B provides employers with incentives of up to ₹3,000/month per new hire, promoting sustained employment. For manufacturing, this support may extend up to 4 years.
🔹 Targeted Outcomes:
1.92 crore individuals are expected to enter the workforce for the first time.
Boost to labour-intensive and manufacturing sectors.
Focus on sustainable employment — not just job creation but job continuity.
This move comes at a time when reviving urban demand and strengthening private hiring is crucial for economic recovery.
The ELI scheme aligns incentives for both job-seekers and job creators — a necessary shift for inclusive, long-term economic growth. 💼📈
