Since 2020, political voters throughout India promise that women in their provinces would receive cash handouts – indefinitely – If they win their election.
All you need is women to get 3,000 rupees Indian (approximately US $ 35) In addition that their annual money is under a particular limit, such as 12,400 rupees (US $ 1,400). Transfers are easy thanks to Aadhar, India’s Biometric System Connecting to the Personal Bank Account.
All of them were told, 134 million women – a fifth of the fifth adults of India older women – received money transfer, according to Axis Bank. And from November 2024, the amount equal to 0.6% of the Great Home Product was destroyed in these programs. In the context, the Indian government spent 1.9% of its GDP in health care in 2023-2024.
The women say money has changed their lives. But programs are not expected. Specialists researching female voters worry that men promise money can easily remove.
