What the scheme actually provides
The scheme pays ₹1,000 per month through Direct Benefit Transfer to the eligible woman's Aadhaar-linked bank account, with no intermediary, and an ATM card is issued so beneficiaries can withdraw the amount whenever they choose. The annual entitlement works out to ₹12,000.
Who is eligible?
- Woman aged 21 years or above.
- Recorded as head of family in the household's ration card, or the wife of the recorded male head of family.
- The family does not own a four-wheeler, such as a car, jeep or tractor, or any similar heavy vehicle.
- The household meets the scheme's income and asset conditions set by the state government.
- Aadhaar is linked to an active bank account, since Direct Benefit Transfer depends on this link.
