Benefit in Malayalam
When you want to say that something is of use, Malayalam gives you പ്രയോജനം (prayojanam), benefit or usefulness. It is common in speech as well as in writing, often in questions about whether a thing has any point at all. The pr at the start is a single cluster, pra-yo-ja-nam.
Usefulness, utility, objective, benefit.
ഈ മരുന്നിന് നല്ല പ്രയോജനമുണ്ട്.
ee marunninu nalla prayojanamundu.
This medicine has a good benefit.

Common questions
How do you say benefit in Malayalam?
Benefit is പ്രയോജനം (prayojanam).
Is prayojanam used for benefits paid by the government?
Not usually. It means usefulness or advantage in the abstract, so an official payment or entitlement is described with its own name rather than with this word.
