What to Do If You Don’t Receive the Installment?
Beneficiaries should ensure their Aadhar cards are linked to their registered bank accounts to ensure seamless transactions.

The Jharkhand government has reassured women beneficiaries that the 6th installment of the Maiya Samman Yojana will be disbursed before Holi 2025. Therefore, it is crucial to verify Aadhar linkage and check bank balances around that time.
