How to use this card. Amounts and statuses as of August 2026, for answering petitioners and briefing seniors without inflating a promise into a payment. The status column is the honest one — several promised figures are not being paid, and third-party “scheme portal” websites routinely describe unimplemented benefits as live. Quote from this card’s status column, then verify against the G.O. or portal before putting a figure in an order. Six Guarantees frame: Mahalakshmi, , Gruha Jyothi, Indiramma Indlu, Yuva Vikasam, Cheyutha.

Traps
- Never quote a promise as a payment. The ₹15,000 Rythu Bharosa, the ₹2,500 women’s DBT and the ₹4,016/₹6,016 pension are announced, not paid, as of August 2026 — and aggregator websites will contradict this card. The research-verified position wins.
- Rythu Bima petitions cannot be fixed locally while the state–LIC standoff lasts; register, escalate, and say honestly that settlement awaits the premium issue.
- Every DBT above rides on the ration-card or Bhu Bharati databases — a record error surfaces as a welfare grievance, and the durable fix is usually a or correction, not a scheme-side appeal.
- is where every gap in this table lands: Mondays (and division-level Mondays since 2025–26), portal registration with a dated receipt, 30-day disposal clock, Collector reviews pendency. Petition volume tracks this table’s “NOT implemented” rows — expect exactly those questions.
- Date-stamp everything you repeat from this card (“as of August 2026”) — statuses here have changed twice a year since 2023 and will again.
