- A.26 January 2023
- B.5 March 2023
- C.10 June 2023
- D.15 August 2023
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is B, 5 March 2023. The scheme was launched on 5 March 2023; applications were then taken from 25 March 2023 at camps in wards and gram panchayats, and the first instalment was transferred on 10 June 2023 at a state function in Jabalpur. Option C, 10 June 2023, is that first transfer date and is the strongest distractor, because many candidates remember the day the money arrived rather than the day the scheme was launched. Option A, 26 January 2023, and option D, 15 August 2023, are national days on which governments often announce schemes, and they are placed here for exactly that reason. Keep the three dates of this scheme in order: launch on 5 March 2023, applications from 25 March 2023, first instalment on 10 June 2023.
