Grant-in-aid (TB)

The Grant-in-Aid (TB) Scheme of the Health and Family Welfare Department, Mizoram, was introduced to provide financial assistance to indigent persons suffering from serious diseases. In order to regulate the grant of such assistance, the State Government framed a set of rules known as the Mizoram Health & Family Welfare (Grant-in-Aid to Indigent Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes Patients Suffering from Serious Diseases) Rules, 1997, which came into force from the date of their publication in the Mizoram Gazette. Under these rules, Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes persons who are permanent residents of the State of Mizoram, whose family members are not employed under the Government, Public Sector Undertakings, or local bodies, and whose total family income from all sources does not exceed ₹2,000 per month, are eligible to receive the Grant-in-Aid, provided they are suffering from serious diseases.
