✓Who Is Eligible?

The Nikshay Poshan Yojana is available to all individuals who have been officially notified as TB patients in the NIKSHAY system, which is India's national tuberculosis control program database. There are no specific age restrictions, income limits, or caste-based requirements for this scheme. All TB patients, regardless of their economic status, age, gender, or social category, are eligible to receive the monthly nutritional support. The key eligibility criterion is that your TB diagnosis must be officially registered and notified in the NIKSHAY system by a recognized healthcare provider or TB control program center. This ensures that your treatment is being monitored by the government's TB control program. The scheme is applicable throughout India, covering all states and union territories, making it a nationwide initiative. The nutritional support continues throughout your entire TB treatment duration, which typically lasts six months to two years depending on the type and severity of TB. You must have a valid bank account that is linked to your Aadhaar number to receive the Direct Benefit Transfer of Rs.500 monthly. If you have been diagnosed with TB at any government or private health facility that reports to the NIKSHAY system, you should check with your treatment provider about your registration and eligibility status.
