Maternity Financial Assistance (UKBOCWWB) - Introduction
Women working in the construction sector often lose income around the time of delivery. Maternity Financial Assistance (UKBOCWWB) helps with this by giving a fixed cash amount to women workers registered with the Uttarakhand Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board. Since the health of the mother and the child matter most, the support is limited to the first two children, and it helps with treatment costs and other basic needs during the maternity period.
