To make women self-reliant in the country and states, the government is continuously running many welfare schemes. In this series, the new initiative of sending financial assistance amount of ₹ 2500 every month to the bank accounts of women has given new hope to the common families. In this era of inflation, women will no longer have to depend on anyone to handle household expenses and meet their minor needs. The main objective of this ambitious scheme of the Chief Minister and the State Administration is to provide direct financial support to the women of poor, middle class and needy families. From Lucknow to rural and urban areas of the state, tremendous enthusiasm is being seen among women regarding this scheme. Through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), this money will be transferred directly to the Aadhaar linked bank account of the beneficiary women without any middleman.
Under this special scheme launched by the government, eligible women will be given financial assistance of ₹ 2500 per month i.e. ₹ 30,000 annually. Often housewives in rural and urban areas have to lend a helping hand to other family members to meet small expenses related to their personal needs, children’s education or health. The government has taken this concrete decision to eliminate this problem from its roots. Experts believe that when money comes directly into the hands of women, it is best used to improve family nutrition, education and health. After the implementation of this scheme, there will be a positive change in the economic condition of lakhs of families and women will also be inspired to start their own self-employment on a small scale.
To avail the benefits of this government scheme, the administration has set some clear rules and eligibility conditions, so that this amount can reach only the genuine and needy women. The first condition is that the woman applying should be a permanent resident of the concerned state. The minimum age of the female applicant has been fixed between 21 years and maximum age of 60 years. Additionally, the annual income of the woman’s family should be within the limit set by the government (usually less than ₹2.5 lakh or ₹3 lakh). If the woman or any member of her family is an income tax payer or is working in a government job, then she will be considered ineligible for this scheme. Also, a woman in whose name a four-wheeler is registered or who is already availing the benefit of any other similar monthly pension scheme, has been kept out of this purview.
If you want to get ₹ 2500 every month under this scheme, then it is very important to keep all your necessary documents ready before applying. Many times the application form gets rejected due to incomplete documents. For application, it is mandatory for the woman to have her updated Aadhar card. Along with this, permanent residence certificate, income certificate and age certificate (like birth certificate or 10th mark sheet) will be required. Bank account details are most important, so the woman should have her own bank account which is linked (DBT Active) to her Aadhar card and mobile number. Apart from this, the family’s ration card, passport size color photograph and an active mobile number will also be asked at the time of application. Women whose name or date of birth is wrong in their Aadhaar card should first go to the nearest Aadhaar center and get it corrected.
The government has started the facility of online application to maintain transparency in this scheme and to save women from visiting government offices. To apply, first of all you have to go to the official portal issued by the state government or the website of the concerned women welfare department. On the homepage you will see the option of ‘Women ₹ 2500 Financial Assistance Scheme’ or ‘Online Registration’, which will have to be clicked. After this, the registration form will open in front of you, in which you will have to enter your mobile number and Aadhaar number and verify it through OTP. After completion of verification, the main application form will open, fill in your name, husband or father’s name, complete address, bank account number and IFSC code carefully. After filling all the information, upload clear scanned copies of the required documents and finally submit the form. After successful application submission, you will get a receipt or registration number, which you should keep safe to check the status of your application in future.
The government has also made strong arrangements for offline application for those women who are unable to use the internet or smartphone. Such women can go to their nearest Public Service Center (CSC), Panchayat Bhawan, Anganwadi Center or Municipal Corporation office and get their form filled. The staff there will help you enter your form on the online portal without any extra charges. The administration has given clear instructions not to give money to any broker or middleman in the name of this scheme, because the entire application process has been kept completely free. If a woman faces any technical issue while filling the form or uploading the documents, she can get the solution directly by contacting the toll-free helpline number issued by the government.
After completion of the application process, your documents and eligibility will be thoroughly scrutinized by the officials of the concerned department. If found correct in the investigation, the final list of beneficiary women will be released on the official website. The first installment of ₹ 2500 will be transferred to the bank account of those women whose names will be included in this beneficiary list on the next scheduled date. To know whether the money has come into your account or not, you can check the status by going to the portal and clicking on the ‘Application Status’ option using your registration number or Aadhaar number. Apart from this, information about deposit of money will also be received through SMS on the mobile number registered in the bank. By applying on time with correct information, eligible women can take full advantage of this government scheme and provide financial strength to their family.
