The Government of India started the Jiyo Parsi Scheme to support the Parsi community, which has been shrinking in numbers. Launched in 2013-14, this scheme offers various types of help to Parsi families and couples to boost their population. It is fully funded by the central government.
The Jiyo Parsi Scheme will run during the 15th Finance Commission Cycle (2021-22 to 2025-26) with a budget of Rs. 50 crore from the central government.
What is the Main Goal of the Jiyo Parsi Scheme?
The scheme aims to stop the decline of the Parsi population by offering planned and scientific support. The government values the rich culture and history of the Parsi community and wants to protect it for the future.

Updated Guidelines for Jiyo Parsi Scheme 2025
The Government of India has released fresh guidelines for the Jiyo Parsi Scheme in 2025. You can download the full PDF here:
Main Parts of the Jiyo Parsi Scheme
The scheme has three important sections:
Medical Assistance
This helps Parsi couples by covering up to 100% of medical costs for treatments that follow medical standards. It especially supports those having trouble conceiving and wanting to become parents.
Care for Community Health
This part gives money to support child care and elder care in Parsi families. Parsi couples get Rs. 8,000 per month for each child up to 18 years old. They also get Rs. 10,000 per month for each elderly dependent (aged 60 or above). This support starts after a child’s birth and continues as long as the elderly family members need care.
Awareness and Outreach
This helps spread information to the Parsi community about why growing the population is important and how to use the benefits of this scheme.
Success Stories of the Jiyo Parsi Scheme
Since the scheme began, more than 400 Parsi children have been born with its support. This shows how well the program is working to help grow the Parsi community.
Jiyo Parsi Scheme is not just a government scheme; it is a helping hand for the Parsi community. By giving medical help, child and elder care, and raising awareness, it helps preserve the rich heritage of Parsis in India. The new Jiyo Parsi Portal makes it easier for families to get support and brighten their future.
If you are from the Parsi community, check out this scheme and use it to build a stronger and lively future for your family and community.
