Tatkare further said that many women beneficiaries have already received Rs1,500 in their accounts. The distribution process is ongoing and all those eligible are expected to receive their payments shortly, the minister added.
She continued that women who previously received benefits will get the third installment, while those who faced technical issues will get all three installments at once. However, whose applications were not accepted or contained errors will not receive benefits until the rectification, said Tatkare.
Additionally, those who have not linked their bank accounts with their Aadhaar numbers are also ineligible. The government is still accepting applications for the scheme.
