⚠️ Online Application नहीं होती!
Most common confusion:
Joy Bangla = Online application restricted है। Public के लिए online apply = available नहीं। Form P = offline — BDO या Gram Panchayat office से लें। Status check = online available।
5 Sub-Schemes — কোন স্কিম আপনার জন্য?
| Sub-Scheme | किसके लिए | Amount |

| Taposili Bandhu (তপসিলী বন্ধু) | SC (Scheduled Caste) — 60+ | ₹1,000/month |
| Jai Johar (জয় জোহার) | ST (Scheduled Tribe) — 60+ | ₹1,000/month |

| Old Age Pension | General/OBC — 60+ years | ₹1,000/month |

सभी schemes = ₹1,000/month — uniform amount।
