Payments under the Mukhyamantri Ladli Behna Yojana are credited to beneficiaries
- A.in cash at the gram panchayat office
- B.by cheque every quarter
- C.by direct benefit transfer on the 10th of every month
- D.once a year with the kharif subsidy
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is C, by direct benefit transfer on the 10th of every month. The instalment goes straight into the woman's own Aadhaar-linked bank account by DBT, and the state fixed the 10th of the month as the transfer day so that the payment is predictable and can be tracked. Keeping the account in the woman's own name is the point of the design, because the money is meant to be hers and not the household's. Option A, cash at the panchayat office, is the pre-DBT method that invited leakage and is no longer used for such transfers. Option B, a quarterly cheque, matches neither the monthly design nor the cashless mode. Option D, an annual payment with a kharif subsidy, describes farm input support such as the state's Kisan Kalyan top-up to PM-KISAN, not this scheme.
