The Government of Jharkhand has announced important updates regarding two major schemes: the Mukhyamantri Maiya Samman Yojana and the Abua Awas Yojana. If you’re a registered beneficiary or planning to apply, read this post carefully to get the latest news.
🧾 Maiya Samman Yojana – ₹5,000 Coming Soon!
Thousands of women across Jharkhand are eagerly waiting for their 9th and 10th installments of ₹5,000 under the Mukhyamantri Maiya Samman Yojana. Here’s the latest update:
- ₹5,000 to be credited soon: Both 9th and 10th installments will be sent together to eligible beneficiaries.
- Total beneficiaries: Over 50 lakh women are expected to receive the payment.
- Current status: Preparations are underway. Slight delays have occurred due to national-level tensions (e.g., Indo-Pak situation), but payments are on track.
- ✅ Important: Ensure your bank account is DVT-enabled (Direct Benefit Transfer). If not, complete activation immediately to avoid payment failure.

🏠 Why People Prefer Abua Awas Yojana Over PMAY?
A shift is visible from PMAY to Abua Awas Yojana, especially in rural areas:
| Feature | PM Awas Yojana | Abua Awas Yojana |
| Grant Amount | ₹1.20 Lakh | ₹2.50 Lakh+ (with MNREGA wages) |
| MNREGA Support | ~₹20,000–₹25,000 | ₹25,000 |
| Beneficiary Interest | Lower | Higher |
However, no new targets were issued for Abua Awas Yojana in 2025, so PMAY remains your only current opportunity.
