The Himachal government reports that its ₹1,500 monthly allowance scheme has now benefited 3.5 lakh women across the state.
The Himachal Pradesh government has announced that its ₹1,500 allowance scheme for women has crossed the milestone of 3.5 lakh beneficiaries. The scheme, launched to provide a modest monthly financial support to women from economically weaker sections, aims to improve household income and promote financial inclusion.
Eligibility criteria focus on women belonging to low‑income families, with applications processed through local panchayat offices and district welfare departments. Payments are transferred directly to beneficiaries' bank accounts each month, reducing leakage and ensuring timely disbursement.
State officials said the rapid uptake reflects both effective outreach by the administration and growing awareness among rural and urban women. The scheme is expected to continue expanding, with plans to streamline verification processes and extend coverage to additional districts in the coming financial year.
