J&K Ladli Beti Scheme 2024
A social assistance program funded by the government of Jammu and Kashmir is intended for young girls born in the Union Territories of J&K and Ladakh on or after April 1, 2015. The plan’s goal is to stop the diminishing female sex ratio. The plan also aims to prevent the girl kid from being a financial burden on her parents or guardians when she gets married. The J&K Government has fully digitized this social assistance program to make sure that the Ladli Beti Scheme’s goal is met with transparency and reaches the greatest number of recipients. Up to the age of 14, beneficiaries receive Rs 1000 every month via DBT in their bank accounts. After turning 21, the beneficiaries receive an average sum of Rs 6.50 lakhs.

J&K Ladli Beti Scheme Features
Some of the key features of the J&K Ladli Beti Scheme
- Under this plan, the girl child’s natural or legal guardian must open a recurring deposit account.
- From the moment the account is opened or the girl is born, the J&K government will contribute Rs. 1000 every month for the following 14 years. Only a total contribution of Rs. 168000 would be made by the UT.
- In Phase I, no credits other than the J&K Government’s monthly contribution of Rs. 1000/- shall be permitted (RD Account)
- Phase I (recurring deposit account) will mature, and the account will advance to Phase II (Cumulative Term Deposit account).
- The recipient of the program will get maturity benefits by crediting her female child’s savings account when she reaches the age of 21, 21 years after the first installment, or 85 months after the final installment, whichever comes first.
- No partial withdrawals or foreclosures will be permitted at any time, at any period.
- The scheme will not use the nomination facility. The account will be immediately closed in the terrible case of the girl child’s death, and the remaining balance, along with any interest earned, will revert to the Union Territories of J&K and Ladakh
- The girl child is free to reinvest the money in any bank deposit plan at card rates, though.
- The money in the recurring deposit account or term deposit account must be closed before maturity in the case of the beneficiary’s death before she reaches the age of 21 without incurring prepayment penalties.
- Before the relevant bank branch, every three years and at the time of maturity, the beneficiary, parent, or guardian of the beneficiary must present a “life certificate of the beneficiary (female child)” certified by a gazetted officer or by the principal of the school or college where she is enrolled.
- Even if the female kid whose name the account is in moves to a city or location other than the one where the account is, the account opened at that branch cannot be moved to any other branch.
- The TDS will not be deducted as long as the guardian or beneficiary provides form 15G/15H each year and has a valid PAN because the scheme is intended for households with yearly incomes of less than 75000/-
