Under the scheme, women above 18 years of age from the general category will receive ₹1,000 per month, while women belonging to Scheduled Caste categories will receive ₹1,500 per month as financial assistance.
The scheme was announced in the state budget presented on March 8.

Eligible women will be required to register at Anganwadi centers and Seva Kendras. The registration process will be completely free of cost.
Applicants must provide Aadhaar cards and Punjab voter ID cards for verification.
Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT)
The financial assistance will be transferred directly into beneficiaries’ Aadhaar-linked bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system, ensuring transparency and efficiency.
