Under the Chief Minister’s Girl Child Protection Scheme, one of the parents must have undergone family planning sterilisation surgery before attaining the age of 49 years. Applications must be submitted within three years from the date of birth of the second girl child.
Under this scheme, a deposit certificate of ₹50,000 is provided for one girl child and ₹25,000 each for two girl children.
The maturity amount, along with interest, will be paid when the girl child attains 18 years of age, provided she has appeared for the Class 10 public examination and obtained a mark sheet indicating her result.
Eligible beneficiaries who have not yet applied for maturity benefits are requested to download and verify their details from the Coimbatore District website at https://coimbatore.nic.in and submit the deposit certificate, Class 10 mark sheet, Aadhaar card, bank passbook copy and two passport-size photographs to the Social Welfare Extension Officer / Mahalir Urnala Officer at the concerned Block Development Office in rural areas or the Zonal Office in urban areas, as applicable.
The District Collector, Thiru. Pavankumar G. Giriyappanavar, I.A.S., has requested eligible beneficiaries to submit applications for new enrolment under the scheme and claims for maturity benefits along with the required documents at the respective offices and avail themselves of the benefits.
