There’s good news for women across Jharkhand. The long-awaited Maiya Samman Yojana installment is set to be deposited into beneficiaries’ bank accounts very soon. As per the latest government update, ₹5,000 will be credited instead of the usual ₹2,500—bringing a much-needed financial boost to lakhs of women.
The Government of Jharkhand has approved the combined installment for April and May 2025, which totals ₹5,000. This amount will be credited within the next 2–3 days, thanks to the recently allocated budget. This proactive move is expected to bring relief to many rural and urban women relying on the scheme for financial support.
The Maiya Samman Yojana is a state-led welfare scheme aimed at empowering women financially by providing monthly direct cash transfers into their bank accounts. It especially benefits women from economically weaker backgrounds, helping them manage daily expenses with more dignity and independence.
To ensure the timely and seamless transfer of funds, the Jharkhand government has instructed local administrative bodies to resolve all complaints related to the scheme without delay. Additionally, women beneficiaries have been urged to complete certain mandatory formalities, failing which their benefits may be withheld.
The key requirements include:
Aadhaar Seeding: Your bank account must be linked with your Aadhaar number to receive funds. Aadhaar seeding can be done by visiting your bank and submitting a seeding form. To make this process easier, special camps are being held at Gram Panchayat levels.
E-KYC Completion: Completing e-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) is crucial. If your e-KYC is pending, the funds may not be credited to your account. The government is also organizing camps for e-KYC verification, urging beneficiaries to complete the process as soon as possible.
Many women are concerned about whether they are still eligible for the scheme or if their names have been removed from the beneficiary list. Here's how you can check your eligibility and payment status:
Visit the official website of Maiya Samman Yojana.
Enter your account or Aadhaar-related details as prompted.
An OTP (One-Time Password) will be sent to your registered mobile number.
Enter the OTP to verify your identity.
If your name is listed, your application and payment status will be displayed.
This simple check can ensure peace of mind and clarify whether you're eligible to receive the ₹5,000 installment.
This double installment is not just a financial benefit—it’s also a sign of the government’s commitment to enhancing women’s welfare and financial independence. In a state where many women face socio-economic challenges, the scheme plays a vital role in:
Supporting daily household expenses
Enabling women to participate in financial decision-making
Encouraging self-reliance and economic inclusion
With the Maiya Samman Yojana, the Jharkhand government continues to strengthen its welfare measures for women. The upcoming ₹5,000 installment is a major relief, especially for households struggling with inflation and rising costs.
However, to ensure uninterrupted benefits, women must stay updated, complete Aadhaar seeding and e-KYC, and verify their beneficiary status online.
This scheme is not just about money—it’s a step toward empowering the women of Jharkhand, ensuring they get the recognition and support they truly deserve.
