🌟 1. What is “Free Scooty Yojana”?
Multiple regional governments in India run Free Scooty Yojanas to empower girls and encourage education, especially at the senior-secondary and college levels. These schemes offer electric or petrol scooters at no cost, aiming to:

- Improve mobility and safety,
- Boost female enrollment in higher education,
- Incentivize academic achievement and retention.
However, there’s no national-level “Free Scooty Yojana” encompassing all Indians—schemes are state-specific and based on financial/academic criteria.

4. 🔗 How to Apply: General Guidelines
Although each state has its own portal and deadlines, the application process largely involves these steps:
- Monitor official announcements on state education or labour department sites (e.g., Assam DHE, Haryana Labour Dept).
- Check eligibility by reviewing circulars, typically published post Board results.
- Register/login on the scheme portal—this may require filled forms, scanned documents, and certificates (marksheets, income, residence, category, etc.).

- Upload documentation:
- ID proof (Aadhaar, PRC)

5. ⚠️ Beware of Misinformation & Scams
- Fake all-India claims: No verified scheme provides scooties to all Aadhaar holders or every Indian woman. PIB has debunked such claims. (assamcareer.com, hte.rajasthan.gov.in, zeenews.india.com)
- Ladli Behna Scooty Yojana — viral news claiming statewide womens’ gift scooty is false. (indiatvnews.com)
- Dependent on official sources: Always check state government websites (e.g., DHE Assam, hrylabour.gov.in, rajscholarship portal).
- YouTube tutorials: Use them only after cross-referencing with credible state sites.
- Avoid unofficial intermediaries: Schemes are free; if someone is charging a fee to “help apply”, steer clear.
