This Act establishes a framework for the Madhya Pradesh government to provide financial aid and subsistence support to the state’s most vulnerable citizens. It defines who qualifies as destitute, such as those too elderly or ill to work, and limits assistance for poor persons based on income. The government must implement rules to process applications and determine eligibility, paying a maximum annual allowance of Rs. 20,000. The law also addresses the misuse of funds and repeals previous legislation to ensure a more effective system of protecting and assisting the needy.
