UP BC Sakhi Yojana pays rural women ₹4,000 a month for first six months

Uttar Pradesh government's BC Sakhi Yojana gives rural women a fixed salary of ₹4,000 a month for the first six months after they start work as banking sakhis in their village. The scheme runs under Uttar Pradesh State Rural Livelihood Mission (UPSRLM).

A woman who joins gets commission on the bank transactions she handles for villagers, so more transactions mean more earning. UPSRLM may also give up to ₹50,000 to buy the devices needed for the work, such as a fingerprint scanner. The rules for this support should be read while filling the form.

Who can apply: age between 18 and 50 years, at least 10th pass, resident of Uttar Pradesh, member of a self help group in the village, and able to use a smartphone and the internet.

Documents needed are Aadhaar card, 10th marksheet, bank passbook, residence proof, passport size photo, an active mobile number and the self help group slip or proof.
