Eligible senior citizens aged 65 years and above receive a one-time Direct Benefit Transfer of ₹3,000 to purchase assistive devices and daily living aids.
The statement specifying that eligible senior citizens aged 65 years and above receive a one-time Direct Benefit Transfer of ₹3,000 to purchase assistive devices and daily living aids accurately captures the key features of the Mukhyamantri Vayoshri Yojana. Under the Maharashtra Social Justice and Special Assistance Department, beneficiaries with an annual household income of up to ₹2 lakh receive this financial support directly in their Aadhaar-linked bank accounts to procure aids such as wheelchairs, walkers, spectacles, and hearing equipment.
