Jharkhand Mukhyamantri Maiya Samman Yojana gives eligible women of the state ₹2,500 every month directly into their bank accounts. The Jharkhand government launched this women welfare scheme in August 2024, and it now covers more than 47 lakh women across the state.
Payments began at ₹1,000 per month. In December 2024, the government increased the amount to ₹2,500 per month. Every eligible woman receives this money through DBT payment into her Aadhaar-linked bank account.
About Jharkhand Mukhyamantri Maiya Samman Yojana
Women, Child Development and Social Security Department runs the scheme. Payments are normally transferred by the 15th of every month, so women can plan their household spending. Many women who earlier had no regular income source now get steady monthly support.
As of August 2026, the scheme is accepting fresh applications. The 21st installment was released in June 2026, and for this cycle only women who completed the verification process, known as satyapan, received the payment. The government keeps holding camps in panchayats and wards for verification and new registration.

Benefits
Registered women get ₹2,500 every month, which adds up to ₹30,000 in a year. This money helps with daily needs such as buying ration, paying school fees and meeting small treatment costs.
Payment is made through DBT into the Aadhaar-linked bank account, so there is no middleman involved. Every month, the state transfers around ₹1,415 crore to women across Jharkhand under the scheme.
