Kokila Chokkanathan
The Jharkhand government has provided a boost to women’s financial support schemes with a new announcement under the Maiya Samman Yojana. As part of the 2026–27 state budget, eligible women will receive their monthly assistance of ₹2,500 deposited into their bank accounts before Holi, helping them with everyday expenses and economic empowerment.

📅 What’s Happening Before Holi?

The jharkhand budget for 2026–27 confirmed continuation of the Maiya Samman Yojana, under which women who meet the eligibility criteria will receive ₹2,500 per month directly into their bank accounts. The government has announced that this financial assistance will be credited before the festival of Holi this year, giving beneficiaries a timely monetary boost.

In some reports, it’s also mentioned that women may be eligible for additional support, such as loans up to ₹20,000 without collateral to help them start small businesses or earn independently.

💡 What Is the maiya Samman Yojana?

The maiya Samman Yojana is a state‑level welfare initiative launched by the Hemant Soren government in jharkhand to provide financial assistance to adult women (typically aged 18–50). It aims to help women become financially stronger and more independent by depositing a monthly amount directly into their bank accounts.

Originally started with a smaller amount, the monthly assistance was later increased to ₹2,500 as part of the state’s financial support measures for women. The scheme has benefitted millions of women across the state since its launch.

🧾 Who Can Benefit?

Under the maiya Samman Yojana:

  • Rs. 2,500 is deposited every month in the accounts of eligible women in Jharkhand.
  • The budget for 2026–27 ensures continuity of this support across the year.
  • Women from economically weaker sections are the primary beneficiaries.
The exact eligibility criteria (such as age, income slab or documentation required) are based on government rules and NHPS guidelines under the scheme.

💼 Why This Matters

The scheme is designed to:

  • Support women financially with regular cash assistance.
