State/UT-wise number of beneficiaries (State/UT Cap) and funds released under National Family Benefit Scheme (NFBS) during last five years is given at Annexure.
Under NFBS, financial assistance is released to the States/UTs based on proposals received from them, subject to the State/UT-wise beneficiary cap. As and when complete proposals are received, they are processed expeditiously for release of funds. States/UTs are regularly requested through letters, review meetings to submit complete proposals in a timely manner to facilitate early processing and disbursement of benefits.
With effect from 2026–27, funds under NFBS are being released through SNA-SPARSH mechanism. Under this mechanism, States/UTs with legislature, after onboarding on SNA-SPARSH, utilize funds against the Mother Sanction issued by the Ministry. Accordingly, for the first instalment of 2026–27, the Ministry has issued a Mother Sanction of ₹369.25 crore under NFBS to the States/UTs.
States/UTs that have completed onboarding on SNA-SPARSH are able to utilize the Mother Sanction for disbursement of benefits under NFBS. The Ministry is regularly following up with the other States/UTs to complete the onboarding process and is providing necessary handholding and technical support to facilitate their early onboarding on SNA-SPARSH.
