The money is paid in phases, not all at once, so it reaches every beneficiary properly.
Reports say further financial support of up to about Rs 2 lakh may come in later phases, but this depends on government decisions.
The scheme is run through the JEEViKA network, which also offers training, mentoring and market links.
Amounts and instalment dates can change, so please confirm the latest details on the official site.
