Findings
What the government’s scheme data leaves out
The state of the schemes
Rebuilt 2026-10-29
What this register has found, from the widest count to the narrowest. The build counts every number from the archived sources and counts it again every month.
11,214
schemes this register can name
At least one of the four national sources names 5,726 of them. The other 5,488 are in no national list. They are lines in a state’s own budget book that the state files as schemes. Even this total is a floor. The union merges too little on purpose, and a machine cannot read six states’ budgets at all.
93%
of the 5,726 that reach a national source are named by only one of them
5,335 appear in one government list and in no other. One country has four sources and no agreed register of what it runs. This number measures that gap.
1,848
are funded by a state budget and listed by no national portal
Across the 16 states this register reads closely, worth ₹3,48,377 crore of provision in the current cycle. Each one has its name, its score and the hand label that judged it.
6 of 22
states publish a budget no machine can read
DBT Bharat counts 1,223 state schemes between those six and myScheme lists 1,368. They are the only sources for these states, and they disagree about every one. The budget that would settle it is the document a machine cannot read. This register accuses no state of hiding anything. The cause is how a file was saved, and each state’s entry names the one change that would fix it.
99%
of the portal’s own records carry no end date
myScheme is the only source here written for citizens. The others are written for accountants. This is the field myScheme most often leaves blank. Every scheme page on this site shows which tests its record passes.
27 of 10,691
scheme names reach a CAG audit report
The catalogue holds 2,753 reports. Of the names above, 5,619 come from the national sources and 5,072 from state budget books. A name in two sources counts once here, so this number is smaller than the 11,214 rows. This register records that an audit exists, its subject and where to read it. It never records what an audit concluded. Only the CAG publishes that.
The argument
Karnataka runs 56 welfare schemes. Or 504. It depends which government portal you ask.
Three central government sources publish counts of India's welfare schemes. None of them agree, none reconciles to the others, and none keeps a record of what it said last month. This register keeps that record, and publishes what is missing as carefully as what is there.

What this is
And what it does not do
To apply for a scheme, use myScheme. This register records the data about schemes. It shows how completely each source documents a scheme, where the sources contradict one another, and what changed since last month.
Every claim here is about how the government publishes. None is about whether a scheme works. “No end date recorded” describes a database field, and says nothing about the scheme itself.

cross-source joins on purpose. Both have real error bars and need a methodology page.
