While the government broadly targets women street vendors, fisherfolk women, those in the construction industry, and women earning meagre incomes working as domestic help at more than one home, it excludes women in families earning more than ₹ 2.5 lakh annually, those consuming more than 3,600 units of electricity annually and those owning a four-wheeler. Besides, only families that own less than 5 acres of wetland or 10 acres of dryland would be eligible to benefit from the scheme.
