Below are the detailed guidelines.
Basic eligibility and precautions for application
It is necessary to know some important conditions before starting the application. Especially for those who are already receiving the benefits of any other allowance from the state government, the rules are slightly different.
Government grants: If the applicant is already receiving any government financial assistance like ‘Lakshmi Bhandar’ or ‘Krishak Bandhu’, then he will not get the benefits of this scheme. However, educational scholarship recipients are eligible to apply.
