Haryana government is running the Allowance to Eunuchs Scheme with a revised monthly payment of ₹3,200, effective from 1 November 2025. Eligible eunuch residents of the state get this cash support straight into their bank accounts every month through the Directorate of Social Justice and Empowerment.
This is a state social security payment first started on 1 June 2006 by Haryana Social Justice and Empowerment Department. Applications are open all year through the Antyodaya SARAL Portal or the local District Social Welfare Office (DSWO), and the amount is revised regularly through state government notifications.
