Phase 3 is the final stage, aimed at covering the remaining districts and families who were not included in Phases 1 and 2. If you haven’t received your payment yet, chances are your district or application falls under Phase 3.

(Widows and persons with disabilities may be eligible with a PMT score up to 35) - Preference is given to households led by a woman
