Haryana Bauna Bhatta Yojana: Rs 3200 Monthly Allowance, Eligibility and How to Apply

The Haryana government provides a monthly allowance of Rs 3,200 to eligible adults with dwarfism under the Bauna Bhatta Yojana, officially listed by the Social Justice Department as the Allowance to Dwarfs. Paid every month, the allowance adds up to Rs 38,400 over a year; it is a recurring monthly payment, not a one-time grant. A state government release dated 27 October 2026 restated the current terms of the scheme, which is run by the Social Justice, Empowerment, Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes and Antyodaya (SEWA) Department.

The scheme has been in operation since 1 June 2006, when the allowance started at Rs 300 per month. It has been revised upward in stages since then, reaching Rs 3,000 per month from 1 January 2024 and the current Rs 3,200 per month from 1 November 2025, as shown in the department’s own rate history on its official scheme page. The steady revisions show the allowance keeping pace over two decades from a small monthly support into a regular social-security payment for eligible beneficiaries across the state.

To be eligible, an applicant must be a domicile of Haryana and must have been living in the state for at least one year at the time of applying. The applicant must be at least 18 years old. The height rule is the scheme’s defining condition: a man of 3 feet 8 inches or less in height and a woman of 3 feet 3 inches or less in height is entitled to the allowance. A certificate from the Civil Surgeon confirming dwarfism is mandatory and must be submitted with the application; without that medical certification, the claim cannot be sanctioned.

Eligible applicants can apply online through the department’s pension portal at pension.socialjusticehry.gov.in, where the dwarf allowance application form is available, and can also approach their District Social Welfare Officer for guidance on eligibility, documents and the application process. The application, along with the Civil Surgeon certificate and other required documents, is submitted to the district Social Justice office, and the District Social Welfare Officer is the authority who sanctions the allowance. Applicants should apply only through the official portal or the district office and should not trust agents or unofficial links promising faster approval.
