Mawan Dhiyan Satkar Yojana Benefits
This Punjab 1000 Rs Scheme gives monthly cash directly to women’s bank accounts via DBT.
| Category | Monthly Amount |
|---|---|
| General / OBC / EWS | ₹1,000 |
| SC (Scheduled Caste) | ₹1,500 |
SC category women must select their category correctly during registration. If SC women accidentally select General, the system will assign ₹1,000 instead of ₹1,500 and the error cannot be corrected easily.
