Mangaluru, July 20, 2023: Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner Mullai Muhilan has asked all eligible beneficiaries to register their names for the Gruha Lakshmi Scheme.

 

The woman head of a family, as mentioned in the ration card (BPL, APL and Antyodaya cards), will be the eligible beneficiary. However, she or her husband should not be a taxpayer (Income Tax or GST payee).

 The beneficiary has to provide the ration card number and Aadhaar card number, which is linked to the bank. If she wishes to receive money to another account, she has to give bank account details with a pass book of that account during registration.

Registration for Gruha Laxmi scheme can be done in two ways. Each ration card-holder, who is the woman head of the family, will be given a date, time and venue to register, through a SMS on her mobile number linked to her Aadhaar card. She has to visit the venue at the specified time to register. In rural areas, registration will be done in the nearest Grama One or Bapuji Seva Kendra. In urban areas, it will be the nearest Karnataka One or offices of local administrative bodies.

Alternately, a Praja Pratinidhi (citizen volunteer identified by the government) will visit every household and register beneficiaries.

The date, time and venue for registration, or any other query regarding the scheme, can be enquired on helpline (1902) or by sending an SMS or WhatsApp message to 8147500500.

A sanction certificate will be issued after registration in the designated centre. In case registration is done by a Praja Pratinidhi, the sanction certificate will be provided later at the doorstep of the beneficiary.
