J&K Mumkin Scheme Livelihood Scheme for Youth

What is the J&K Mumkin Scheme?

The Mumkin – Livelihood Generation Scheme is a government initiative by the Jammu & Kashmir administration under the Mission Youth programme. It helps unemployed youth purchase small commercial vehicles at subsidized rates so they can earn a livelihood in the transport sector.

Under this scheme, eligible youth receive a subsidy of up to ₹80,000 (or 10% of the vehicle's on-road price, whichever is less) from Mission Youth. Additionally, the vehicle manufacturer provides a matching subsidy of the same amount. This means beneficiaries can get a total benefit of up to ₹1.60 lakh on the purchase of a new small commercial vehicle.

The remaining amount is financed through a bank loan, making vehicle ownership accessible even for youth with limited savings.
