&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;The scheme grants Rs 6,000 to pregnant and lactating women who go for institutional delivery and vaccinate their children.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The much-talked about maternity benefit entitlement of Rs 6,000 per woman, announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 31, 2016, has received a meagre allocation of Rs 2,700 crore. This is not even a quarter of the estimate drawn up by civil society groups that have been long demanding enforcement of this entitlement promised under the National Food Security Act way back in 2013.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The scheme grants Rs 6,000 to pregnant and lactating women who go for institutional delivery and vaccinate their children.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As per the scheme details, released by the Women and Child Development Ministry immediately after the PM&amp;rsquo;s announcement, state governments will have to pool in 40 per cent of the amount with the Centre providing the rest. The conditional cash transfer is applicable only to women above the age of 19 years and for up to two live children.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ministry officials said the budget estimate of Rs 2,700 crore has been drawn up taking into consideration 90 lakh beneficiaries annually after factoring in all the exclusion criteria. &amp;ldquo;We will provide for 50 per cent of the amount for each of the 90 lakh women, which works out to Rs 2,700 crore,&amp;rdquo; said the official. However, the latest available figure for live births, as per the Civil Registration System (CRS) 2013 of the Home Ministry, is 2.6 crore.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jashodhara Dasgupta, from the National Alliance for Maternal Health and Human Rights, pointed out that as per an estimate by the think-tank Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability, a total of Rs 16,000 crore is required for the scheme annually. This estimate has been arrived at after excluding women employed in the formal sector from the figure of 2.6 crore.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;The scheme grants Rs 6,000 to pregnant and lactating women who go for institutional delivery and vaccinate their children.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The much-talked about maternity benefit entitlement of Rs 6,000 per woman, announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 31, 2016, has received a meagre allocation of Rs 2,700 crore. This is not even a quarter of the estimate drawn up by civil society groups that have been long demanding enforcement of this entitlement promised under the National Food Security Act way back in 2013.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The scheme grants Rs 6,000 to pregnant and lactating women who go for institutional delivery and vaccinate their children.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As per the scheme details, released by the Women and Child Development Ministry immediately after the PM&amp;rsquo;s announcement, state governments will have to pool in 40 per cent of the amount with the Centre providing the rest. The conditional cash transfer is applicable only to women above the age of 19 years and for up to two live children.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ministry officials said the budget estimate of Rs 2,700 crore has been drawn up taking into consideration 90 lakh beneficiaries annually after factoring in all the exclusion criteria. &amp;ldquo;We will provide for 50 per cent of the amount for each of the 90 lakh women, which works out to Rs 2,700 crore,&amp;rdquo; said the official. However, the latest available figure for live births, as per the Civil Registration System (CRS) 2013 of the Home Ministry, is 2.6 crore.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jashodhara Dasgupta, from the National Alliance for Maternal Health and Human Rights, pointed out that as per an estimate by the think-tank Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability, a total of Rs 16,000 crore is required for the scheme annually. This estimate has been arrived at after excluding women employed in the formal sector from the figure of 2.6 crore.&lt;br /&gt;

Ministry officials said the budget estimate of Rs 2,700 crore has been drawn up taking into consideration 90 lakh beneficiaries annually after factoring in all the exclusion criteria. &ldquo;We will provide for 50 per cent of the amount for each of the 90 lakh women, which works out to Rs 2,700 crore,&rdquo; said the official. However, the latest available figure for live births, as per the Civil Registration System (CRS) 2013 of the Home Ministry, is 2.6 crore.<br />
<br />
Jashodhara Dasgupta, from the National Alliance for Maternal Health and Human Rights, pointed out that as per an estimate by the think-tank Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability, a total of Rs 16,000 crore is required for the scheme annually. This estimate has been arrived at after excluding women employed in the formal sector from the figure of 2.6 crore.<br />

Pregnant Women Entitled to Rs 6,000: Maternity scheme gets Rs 2,700 crore, experts say not enough - Shalini Nair

-The Indian Express The scheme grants Rs 6,000 to pregnant and lactating women who go for institutional delivery and vaccinate their children. The much-talked about maternity benefit entitlement of Rs 6,000 per woman, announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 31, 2016, has received a meagre allocation of Rs 2,700 crore. This is not even a quarter of the estimate drawn up by civil society groups that have been long demanding enforcement of this entitlement promised under the National Food Security Act way back in 2013. The scheme grants Rs 6,000 to pregnant and lactating women who go for institutional delivery and vaccinate their children. As per the scheme details, released by the Women and Child Development Ministry immediately after the PM’s announcement, state governments will have to pool in 40 per cent of the amount with the Centre providing the rest. The conditional cash transfer is applicable only to women above the age of 19 years and for up to two live children. Ministry officials said the budget estimate of Rs 2,700 crore has been drawn up taking into consideration 90 lakh beneficiaries annually after factoring in all the exclusion criteria. “We will provide for 50 per cent of the amount for each of the 90 lakh women, which works out to Rs 2,700 crore,” said the official.
