AP YSR Kapu Nestham

What is AP YSR Kapu Nestham?

YSR Kapu Nestham is a women-focused income-support scheme run by the Andhra Pradesh BC Welfare Department for women belonging to the Kapu, Balija, Telaga, and Ontari communities. It pays ₹15,000 every year (equivalent to roughly ₹1,250 a month) to help eligible women meet household expenses and build a small financial cushion. The money is released directly into the woman's Aadhaar-linked bank account through DBT, so there are no agents, no office queues, and no chance of the amount being diverted along the way. To qualify, an applicant must be 18 or older, hold a valid community certificate issued by the local MRO, and belong to a family earning less than ₹3 lakh a year. Applications and verification are processed online through the dedicated kapunestham.ap.gov.in portal.
