In the below-given post, we will discuss Aapki Beti Humari Beti Girl Child savings scheme features, eligibility criteria, and frequently asked questions.
Here is the financial assistance according to this scheme:
This plan is intended for Below Poverty Line (BPL) and Scheduled Caste families, but available for all people residing in Haryana, and meeting the following criteria.
The female child in question should have been born on or later than 22 January 2015. The money is provided on the birth of the daughter irrespective of her creed, caste, income, religion, and any number of sons the family has.
They can receive Rs. 21,000 as a one-time grant for their first girl child. The amount is invested in LIC (Life Insurance Corporation of India) in the girl child’s name. The invested amount is available for the girl when she attains 18 years of age.
Also, families with a second girl child born on or later than 21 January 2015 will get a sum of Rs. 5,000 per annum for 5 years. The first instalment comes to the family within a month of the 2nd daughter’s birth. From then, on the birthday of the 2nd girl child every year, following instalments will be provided.
The third daughter is also eligible if she is born in any family on or later than 24 August 2015.
Incentives start with immediate effect if the family has twin daughters. If a twin or more daughters are born, then every daughter will get the assistance of Rs. 2,500 per annum for the next 5 years.
The family can deposit a maximum of Rs. 1,50,000 in the daughter’s account. 50% of the deposited amount is withdrawable after the female child completes 18 years of age. The ABHBY scheme will mature when the girl child attains 21 years of age.
The incentive will however stop immediately if either of the daughters passes away. But the same is restorable from the discontinuation date after the birth of another daughter.
