Families with power bills of Rs 12k to be eligible for BPL cards: Khattar
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday said families with annual electricity bills up to Rs 12,000 will now also be eligible for BPL ration cards, thus raising this limit from earlier Rs 9,000, but the overall annual income limit will remain unchanged.
They will also start receiving ration from this month onwards, according to an official statement.
This announcement was made during the chief minister’s address to the villagers in Abhimanyupur on the second day of his ‘Jan Samwad’ programme in Kurukshetra district.
The statement said the income limit for Below the Poverty Line (BPL) cards will remain unchanged at Rs 1.80 lakh per annum.
