The Gruhalakshmi scheme amount has been facing delays in monthly payments, with pending payments for some months being clubbed and credited later in a lump sum. Karnataka Minister Satish Jarkiholi mentioned that minor delays (of a month or two) are typical in government processes and the money will be credited eventually, even if not monthly. Women and Child Development Minister Laxmi Hebbalkar assured that pending dues for those registered by mid-August will be settled soon, typically within a fortnight from the announcement date. Recent updates indicate that while most beneficiaries get credited regularly, some are delayed due to technical issues like Aadhaar seeding or e-KYC problems, which the government is actively resolving. For recent pending payments, specifically for late 2024 months like November and December, the government stated the payments will be credited soon after the funds are allocated. The scheme generally provides Rs. 2,000 monthly to eligible women heads of households in Karnataka. In summary:
- Monthly payments are sometimes delayed by one or two months.
- The government clubs pending payments and credits them in lump sums.
- Technical issues with beneficiary accounts are being addressed to ensure credits.
- Assurances have been made that all pending amounts will be paid soon, typically within a fortnight from recent announcements.
- Beneficiaries can check payment status on the official scheme website.
This means the credited amount for Gruhalakshmi is not always on a fixed monthly date currently but will be released soon when delayed, with the government aiming to clear all dues promptly.
