About
The Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) is a Govt of India sponsored Scheme which is being implemented with the objective of reducing maternal and infant mortality by promoting institutional delivery among pregnant women. Under the JSY, eligible pregnant women are entitled to cash assistance irrespective of the mother's age and number of children for giving birth in a government or accredited private health facility.
As the cash assistance to the mother is mainly to meet the cost of delivery, it should be disbursed effectively at the institution itself.
For pregnant women going to a public health institution for delivery, the entire cash entitlement should be disbursed to them at the health institution in one go. Considering that some women would access accrediting private institutions for antenatal care, they would require some financial support to get at least 3 ANCs including the TT injections. In such cases, at least three-fourths (3/4) of the cash assistance under JSY should be paid to the beneficiary in one go, importantly, at the time of delivery.
Benefits
- 1. If an expected Pregnant Woman from rural area gets delivered at Public Health Facility or Accredited Private Hospital will get a cash assistance of Rs. 1400/- after delivery irrespective of age, birth order, or income group (BPL & APL).
- 2. If an expected Pregnant Woman from Urban Area gets delivered at Public Health Facility or Accredited Private Hospital will get a cash assistance of Rs. 1000/- after delivery irrespective of age, birth order, or income group (BPL & APL).
- 3. If an expected pregnant woman under the BPL category gets delivered at home will get cash assistance of Rs. 500 regardless of the pregnant woman's age and number of children.
- 4. The state has implemented a DBT (Direct Bank Transfer) mode of payment. Under this initiative, eligible pregnant women are entitled to get JSY benefit directly into their bank account.

Common questions
When Would The Cash Benefit Under JSY Be Disbursed?
The cash benefit should be disbursed to the beneficiary preferably at the institution. If ASHA is unable to organize transport (wherever applicable) disbursement of transport assistance should be done in the health centre as soon as pregnant women arrive and registers for delivery. It should be the responsibility of ANM, MO, PHC/ASHA to take all proactive actions to ensure timely disbursement.
What Is The Purpose Of Janani Suraksha Yojana?
The NMBS was not addressing all the concerns of safe motherhood in a focused manner.
