💡 त्वरित उत्तर (Quick Answer): Amount: ₹1,500/month — सभी eligible beneficiaries को ⚠️ ₹600/₹900 = OUTDATED — 2026 में ₹1,500 है Apply: mahadbt.maharashtra.gov.in / Nearest Talathi office Status: sas.mahait.org → Beneficiary Status → Aadhaar Helpline: 1800-120-8040 | sjsa.maharashtra.gov.in
⚠️ ₹600/₹900 नहीं — ₹1,500 मिलता है!
बहुत websites पर गलत जानकारी है:
अधिकांश websites अभी भी ₹600 या ₹900 दिखा रही हैं — यह outdated है। Official sjsa.maharashtra.gov.in और Nagpur District portal: “Under this scheme, ₹1,500/- per month is given to each beneficiary.”
