NYAY scheme - Rs 72,000 per year to poorest
Indian National Congress · Lok Sabha General Election 2024
Last updated 15 Nov 2024
“The Indian National Congress will implement the Nyuntam Aay Yojana (NYAY), guaranteeing a minimum income of Rs 72,000 per year (Rs 6,000 per month) to the poorest 20% of Indian families — approximately 5 crore households. This is a direct cash transfer to ensure no Indian family lives below the poverty line.”
Our Assessment
mediumAs Congress is in opposition nationally, NYAY remains an unfulfilled campaign promise. However, Congress-led state governments in Karnataka and Telangana have implemented partial versions of income guarantee schemes.
