 +**Quick Reply:** JSY is the National Health Mission's cash-back-for-institutional-delivery scheme. The verified amounts: **₹1,400 rural / ₹1,000 urban** in **low-performing states** (Assam, for one — ₹1,400/₹1,000 confirmed on Assam NHM's own page), **₹700 rural / ₹600 urban** in other states for BPL/SC/ST women, and **₹500 for BPL home delivery**. Payment stuck? Ask for the **disbursement list** — ₹10, 30 days.

 +JSY's promise is simple — deliver in a public or accredited facility, get cash support — and its records are simple too. The catch is never the scheme; it is the chain: the form, the eligibility entry, the sanction, the transfer. Every link is a record, and the RTI Act reads every record.
 +
 +===== The amounts, verified =====
 +
 +  * **Low-performing states** — a **₹1,400 mother's package in rural areas and ₹1,000 in urban**, for all women delivering in a government or accredited private facility. Assam's NHM page states exactly this: ₹1,400 rural, ₹1,000 urban, "irrespective of age, birth order, or income group"
 +  * **Other states** — **₹700 rural / ₹600 urban** for BPL/SC/ST women delivering in a government or accredited facility
 +  * **Home deliveries** — **₹500 for BPL women** (Assam NHM: "Rs. 500/- is provided for Home Delivery only for BPL category")
 +  * The ASHA who facilitates gets a separate package — part of the same disbursement lists
 +
 +Which side of the divide your state falls on decides the number on your sanction; the disbursement record decides whether you ever see it.
 +
 +===== The chain, and where it breaks =====
 +
 +  1. **Delivery at the facility** — the JSY card and the discharge record begin the file
 +  2. **Eligibility entry** — the block/district health office records the claim against the mother's details and account
 +  3. **Sanction and transfer list** — payments go by periodic disbursement lists against sanctioned claims
 +  4. The breaks: a missing eligibility entry, an account mismatch, or the claim sitting on a list that was never pushed
 +
 +===== The RTI that traces it =====
 +
 +<code>
 +1. Copy of my JSY claim for delivery dated ____ at ____ facility — date of receipt, eligibility recorded, and present status.
 +2. The JSY disbursement list for block ____ for the months ____ — names, amounts and transfer dates.
 +3. The number of JSY claims pending payment beyond 90 days in district ____, as on date.
 +4. Copy of the sanction entry for the JSY claim of ____ (mother's name, delivery date ____).
 +</code>
 +
 +Point 2 is the one offices least enjoy producing — and the one that answers every "where is it" question at once. Address the application to the **PIO of the state health department / NHM mission directorate**; ₹10; 30 days; first appeal to the FAA; second to the **State Information Commission**.
 +
 +===== Alongside the RTI =====
 +
 +  - **Ask at the facility first** — the JSY desk at the community health centre can see the claim's entry stage
 +  - **Keep the discharge card and the JSY card** — they carry the identifiers the file is indexed under
 +  - **Bank passbook** — the transfer reference, if any, names the batch
 +  - **ASHA as witness** — she is in the record too; her facilitation payment shares the list
 +
 +**Real example.** Dr. Shrawan Kumar Pathak helped a patient whose ₹1,400 had been "processing" for seven months. The disbursement-list copy showed three batches cleared in that window without her name; the eligibility entry had one digit of the account wrong. The correction, applied with the RTI reply attached, paid out in the next batch — and the same reply carried two more mothers from the same village whose names were missing from all three lists.
 +
 +===== Frequently asked questions =====
 +
 +==== How much does JSY pay? ====
 +
 +In low-performing states including Assam, ₹1,400 rural and ₹1,000 urban for deliveries in government or accredited facilities. In other states, ₹700 rural / ₹600 urban for BPL/SC/ST women, and ₹500 for BPL home deliveries.
 +
 +==== Who is eligible in the non-LPS states? ====
 +
 +BPL, Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe women delivering in a government or accredited private facility — the state's NHM page names its own conditions.
 +
 +==== How is the money paid? ====
 +
 +By direct transfer to the mother's account, against sanctioned claims on periodic disbursement lists.
 +
 +==== Can the ASHA help trace it? ====
 +
 +Her facilitation payment rides the same lists — she has an interest in the batch clearing, and often knows exactly which stage is stuck.
