After Hon’ble Supreme Court’s instructions, 500/- of JSY benefit is being paid 8 to 12 weeks before delivery without any age, parity and place restriction to BPL, SC & ST women and additional benefit (200/- for rural area and 100/- for urban area) are being paid to the beneficiaries before discharge from health facility. All JSY benefits are being made through bearer cheques only since Sept. 2010.
