Educational Assistance to the Children of the Registered Worker Studying in 11th and 12th Standard(EACRWS11A12S)
Overview
About EACRWS11A12S
The Educational Assistance to the Children of the Registered Worker Studying in 11th and 12th Standard has been paid 192,245 times, a total of Rs 1,92,24,82,500, by the count the Maharashtra Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board published for April 2025. The award itself is straightforward: Rs 10,000 a year for a child in Class 11 or 12. What actually decides a family's claim is everything around it: whether the worker's registration with the board is alive, which of the board's two same-amount education awards is the right one, and which office takes the paper.
Inside the board's ledger this scheme is code E03, one of seven benefits under its education head. The board's own scheme-wise disbursement statement records 192,245 payments worth Rs 1,92,24,82,500 under it as of April 2025; on that page, only the combined school slab for Classes 1 to 10 has paid out more often. That volume says something the scheme's name does not: this is a mass entitlement for registered workers' families, not a competitive scholarship.
The gate is the worker, not the student. Registration with the board is open to construction workers aged 18 to 60 who have worked more than 90 days in the last 12 months, applied for on Form V with a working certificate. Once that card exists, the Class 11 or 12 claim is one rung of an education ladder that runs from Rs 2,500 a year in early school up to Rs 1,00,000 for a medical degree, per the same disbursement statement.

Calendar
Important dates
The record's opening and closing dates are blank, and the board's schemes page attaches no application window to its education claims. The Worker Facilitation Centre for the worker's taluka is where a live cut-off, if one is ever set, would be announced.
Who can apply
Eligibility criteria
Family income never enters the test: neither the myScheme record nor the board's schemes page publishes an income ceiling, and the qualifying condition is the worker's registration, not what the household earns. Marks do not enter it either. On the board's welfare schemes page, the Class 11 to 12 row asks only for the mark sheet of the 11th or 12th class, while the 50% condition printed beside the neighbouring award belongs to that separate benefit. A wife of a registered male worker who is herself enrolled in Class 11 or 12 sits inside the scheme's own definition of a beneficiary, which is unusual among student schemes.
| The children's parents or guardians should be registered under the Maharashtra Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board. | |
| The child/wife must be studying in 11th or 12th standard. | |
| Only children and spouse of registered construction workers are eligible to get educational assistance. |

Exclusions
The source publishes no exclusion list for this scheme. The one hard limit sits in the board's own framing of its education head, and it is easy to miss: every education benefit is for the first two children of the registered worker, so a third child reaching Class 11 has no route into the award.
Continuation
Renewal conditions
No renewal procedure is published anywhere for the scheme. What the board does publish points to fresh claims rather than renewals: the amount is listed per year, against the mark sheet of the 11th or 12th class, so a family typically claims once in Class 11 and again in Class 12 with the newer mark sheet, two claims in all.
What you get
Award & benefits
The award is Rs 10,000 for each year of study in Class 11 or 12, listed against the mark sheet on the welfare schemes page. It is a cash benefit that lands by bank transfer, which is why the claim asks for the passbook and why the board's transfer lists record each payment as gone through or failed. It helps to see where that slab sits, because the board pays different amounts at every stage and families routinely quote the wrong one:
| Stage of study | Assistance | Published condition |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 to 7 | Rs 2,500 per year | 75% or more attendance |
| Class 8 to 10 | Rs 5,000 per year | 75% or more attendance |
| Class 10 and 12, on exam marks | Rs 10,000 per year | 50% or more marks |
| Class 11 and 12 (this scheme) | Rs 10,000 per year | mark sheet of Class 11 or 12 |
| Degree course | Rs 20,000 per year | open to the worker's wife as well |
| Diploma course | Rs 20,000 per year | government-approved courses |
| Post-graduation diploma | Rs 25,000 per year | government-approved courses |
| Engineering degree | Rs 60,000 | government-recognized college or institute |
| Medical degree | Rs 1,00,000 | government-recognized college or institute |
- Financial assistance of ₹10,000 per year for children studying in 11th and 12th grades.
- Note: Benefit applies to up to two children and the wife of a registered worker.
What to prepare
Documents required
Read the document list from the bottom up. Everything on it except one item is ordinary household paper: photo, Aadhaar, bank passbook, mark sheet, residence proof. The exception is the board's own identity card, which only a registered worker holds. A family that lacks it is not one document short, it is one registration short, and the first errand is Form V with the 90 days working certificate, not the scholarship claim. The board also publishes an education self-declaration form alongside its claim forms, so print both rather than making a second trip.
Step by step
How to apply
No portal takes this claim. It moves on paper: the board's education claim form, filled and submitted with the documents at the Worker Facilitation Centre or the Labour Commissioner's office for the worker's taluka; the board's contact page lists the WFC addresses division by division, from Mumbai to Amravati, with a downloadable sheet of centre in-charges.
Tracking the money is the question that outlasts the form-filling, and the board keeps the answer on its own site. The Login on mahabocw.in opens the worker portal at iwbms.mahabocw.in, where a registered worker signs in to their record. Separately, the board publishes running lists of beneficiaries whose benefit transfers succeeded, with a matching page for failed transfers, so a family waiting on the money can check whether the payment went through or bounced before queuing anywhere.

How winners are picked
Selection process
The board publishes nothing that behaves like selection for this benefit: it ranks nobody, caps no yearly count of awards, and convenes no committee between the claim and the payment. A claim stands or falls on the registration and the mark sheet, and the 50% marks test that filters the board's exam-based award does not apply to this one.
Fine print
Terms & conditions
The benefit rides on the worker's standing, year to year: registration with the board carries an annual subscription, and the child's claim presumes a parent whose membership is current. It is also strictly a Maharashtra entitlement. The board belongs to the state's Labour Department, and a worker who migrates to another state falls under that state's own construction workers board, with whatever slabs that board has set for itself.

Contact
The board sits at MMTC House, Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai 400051; its contact page lists the office line (022) 2657-2631, a toll-free helpdesk at 1800-8892-816 between 10:00 and 18:00, and the mailboxes bocwwboardmaha@gmail.com and support@mahabocw.in. For anything that needs a counter rather than a call, the same page carries the taluka-wise Worker Facilitation Centre addresses.
