Officials say verification is still pending. Local bodies are checking documents and creating groups of 10 to 12 women. This step is needed before they release the funds.

The government planned to finish this process by March 15. However, work is still incomplete. Now, officials are unsure if they can send the money before March 31, 2026.

Women must join self-help groups to get this benefit. After verification ends, officials will transfer money directly to bank accounts. Many women hope the process will finish soon.

Now, the government wants to check how women used the money. Jeevika workers are visiting beneficiaries and collecting details through a mobile app. Officials aim to understand which businesses are running successfully and who qualifies for the next instalment.

Women who used the first payment properly may receive additional financial support. The scheme provides assistance in stages, and the total support can go up to ₹2 lakh for eligible beneficiaries.

Authorities also said women whose applications are still under verification will receive ₹10,000 after the process ends by March 15. The next round of payments is likely to begin in March–April.

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar announced the scheme to make women self-reliant. Each family in Bihar can nominate one woman to start income-generating activities. The scheme promotes self-employment and rural livelihoods.

Each beneficiary will receive an initial grant of Rs 10,000. After six months, officials will assess progress. Women can receive up to Rs 2 lakh as additional financial assistance. Self-help group trainers will teach skills and business management.

Authorities will upgrade gramin haat-bazaars to help women sell their products. Officials see the initiative as empowering women voters and supporting rural livelihoods. The scheme comes ahead of Bihar Assembly elections, where the NDA faces tough competition.
