Notes
The claim is a statement of fact about scheme beneficiaries rather than a policy promise, so no deadline applies. Beneficiary counts are state government figures reported by multiple outlets; they are not independently audited. The scheme was launched in 2020 and payments had been paused during floods before resuming in August 2026. LiveMint publication date not confirmed.
