- PM-KISAN Eligibility CheckSeven yes-or-no questions show whether your farmer family can get PM-KISAN (Rs. 6,000 a year in three instalments of Rs. 2,000) and what to finish first: land records, Aadhaar seeding and e-KYC.
- Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY Coverage CheckA guide check of who PM-JAY covers: families from the SECC 2011 lists, RSBY families, and every person aged 70 or above whatever the income. It tells you where you stand and what to check next.
- EWS Eligibility Check (Central List)Check the Central rules for the Economically Weaker Sections category: family income below Rs. 8 lakh and the limits on agricultural land, flats and residential plots, with what to ask for at the tehsil office.
- PMJJBY and PMSBY Premium CalculatorEnter your age and the month you join: see what PMJJBY (Rs. 2 lakh life cover) and PMSBY (accident cover up to Rs. 2 lakh) cost you this year and every year after, and when each cover ends.
