Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has announced that ₹1,291 crore will be deposited into the bank accounts of 37.43 lakh women across the state as part of a new financial initiative.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann announced on Thursday that ₹1,291 crore will be credited to the bank accounts of 37.43 lakh women in the state. The move is part of a new financial initiative aimed at boosting women’s economic participation.
During his address, Mann highlighted that previous governments often complained about Punjab’s finances, yet his administration has not used a lack of funds as an excuse for development projects. He said the allocation will help women access credit and savings more easily.
The scheme is expected to be implemented over the next few months, with state officials outlining a timeline for disbursement. Women will receive the funds directly into their existing bank accounts, with no additional paperwork required.
Mann urged women to check their account balances and report any discrepancies to the state’s financial department. The announcement was welcomed by women’s rights groups who see it as a step toward greater financial inclusion.
