Rs 1,500 a month to every woman aged 18 to 60
“Restoration of the old pension scheme, 300 units of free power, a Rs 680-crore StartUp fund, one lakh jobs and Rs 1,500 per month for women between 18 to 60 years are among the promises the Congress made in its manifesto for the Himachal Pradesh polls.”
The verdict
The Indira Gandhi Pyari Behna Sukh Samman Nidhi was announced in March 2024 for about 5 lakh women. A written Assembly reply (Sept 2026) says only 35,687 women get it; age was narrowed to 21-59 and family income capped at Rs 2 lakh. A wider roll-out via the Apna Parivar Sukhi Parivar scheme was postponed from 2 October 2026.
Rule applied: In progress: deadline not reached; rating is provisional and not counted in the final score
“Rs 1,500 for every woman, delivered so far to roughly one in every hundred and fifty.”
