The ministry said the e-Tunai Belia Rahmah registration and payment period is from June 26 to Aug 22.
Eligible youths can register through any of the three e-wallet service providers, namely Boost, Setel and Touch 'n Go eWallet.
"The e-Tunai Belia Rahmah credits and matching benefits from participating e-wallet providers can be issued ‘offline’ until Aug 31,” it said in a statement today.
The initiative targets Malaysian youth aged 18 to 20 and is open to all active full-time students in IPTs in the country.
