- Women in Jharkhand will receive ₹5000 under the Maiya Samman Yojana before Holi.
- Payments for January and February will be combined and distributed after March 8.
- Ensure your bank account is Aadhaar-linked to receive the funds seamlessly.
Exciting news for women in Jharkhand! The government is set to distribute funds under the Maiya Samman Yojana just in time for Holi, ensuring that many women benefit from this initiative. With the help of the Women, Child Development and Social Security Department, the payments are being organized with a focus on reaching beneficiaries promptly.
Payment Process for Beneficiaries
However, there is a pressing issue; many beneficiaries still do not have their bank accounts linked with Aadhaar. The authorities plan to verify beneficiaries’ ration cards before transferring funds to ensure everyone receives their support. Payments for January and February will be combined, and the process of fund transfer is expected to begin after March 8, just ahead of the festival.
Eligibility Criteria for Maiya Samman Yojana
The Maiya Samman Yojana aims to provide financial assistance to women in the state. Here are the eligibility requirements:
- Must be a resident of Jharkhand.
- Possess a valid voter ID.
- Aadhaar Card is essential.
- Must have a bank account linked to Aadhaar.
For a time, the government had relaxed some rules, allowing beneficiaries without Aadhaar-linked accounts to receive funds until December. However, this has created delays for some, as payments have not been disbursed since January.
Steps to Ensure Successful Fund Transfer
To ensure smooth fund transfer, the following steps can be helpful for beneficiaries:
- Verify that your bank account is Aadhaar-linked.
- Check your ration card status to ensure it is valid.
- Follow up with the local Women, Child Development, and Social Security Department for updates on payments.
Over 40 lakh beneficiaries’ ration cards in Jharkhand have already been verified, making it easier for the department to distribute the funds efficiently.
The department is working diligently to ensure that all eligible women receive their benefits before Holi, along with releasing funds for March shortly thereafter. Keep an eye out for updates to receive your part of this support just in time for the festivities!
