Under Bengal's Annapurna Yojana, ₹3,000 will be credited on 17 September, PM Modi's birthday, to about 1.58 crore eligible women aged 25 to 60. New rules bar women earning over ₹10,000 a month or from families earning above ₹12 lakh yearly. Rural women with more than three rooms now qualify too. Money goes straight to bank accounts.
Key Statutory Highlights
- About 1.58 crore women are expected to receive ₹3,000 under the Annapurna Yojana on 17 September, which is Prime Minister Modi's birthday.
- Women earning more than ₹10,000 a month, or belonging to families with an annual income above ₹12 lakh, are not eligible for the scheme.
- Rural women having more than three rooms in their house will now also get the benefit, which was not the case earlier.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you believe you qualify, check your eligibility status with your local authorities and make sure your bank account details are correct, since payments are transferred district-wise after verification is completed.
