Allowance To Eunuchs Scheme
Allowance to Eunuchs Scheme (Hijra Bhatta Yojana)
The Haryana government initiated the “Allowance to Eunuchs Scheme” through its Department of Social Justice and Empowerment on June 1, 2006. This program aims to provide financial support to eunuchs residing across various regions of Haryana, enhancing their living standards and promoting their welfare.
Overview of the Scheme
Launched to empower one of the most marginalized communities, the “Allowance to Eunuchs Scheme” has evolved significantly since its inception. Initially, the monthly allowance was set at ₹300. However, the government has progressively increased this assistance to better meet the needs of beneficiaries:
- ₹1400 per month starting from January 1, 2016
- ₹1600 per month from November 1, 2016
- ₹1800 per month from November 1, 2017
- ₹2000 per month from November 1, 2018
- ₹2250 per month from January 1, 2020
- ₹2500 per month from April 1, 2021
- ₹2750 per month from April 1, 2023
Benefits of the Scheme
