Government Schemes

PICME

PICME or Pregnancy and Infant Cohort Monitoring and Evaluation (PICME) is a system deployed by the Tamilnadu government to track all pregnant women. Pregnant women can register on https://picme.tn.gov.in/ right from the inception of pregnancy until obtaining a birth certificate for the newborn. Persons registered under PICME are provided with a 12 digit RCH ID, which is being used to track all aspects of the pregnancy by the Public Health Department.  Pregnant women can register for the Tamil Nadu PICME Login on the official website from the moment a pregnancy is first detected till a birth certificate for the unborn child is obtained. People who register for PICME are given a 12-digit RCH ID number. The Public Health Agency uses the RCH ID that was acquired during TN PICME Registration to keep track of every aspect of the pregnancy. PICME 2.0 PICME, which was created in 2008 by the National Informatics Centre for the Department of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, has been modified and is now known as PICME 2.0.  PICME records 11 lakhs of Moms annually. All Government Health institutions have been granted user IDs and passwords, and 8713 VHNs in rural areas and 1846 UHNs in urban areas have been given institutional delivery entry logins so they can enter their delivery data. PICME Registration Expectant mothers can get PICME registration through the nearest government health care centers, hospitals, and primary health care centers. Expectant mothers can also contact the local nurses or Aanganwadi center workers for collecting the 12 digit registration code. Finally, the application is also available at all village level CSC (Common Service Centers). Once registered on the system, the expectant mothers can also avail benefits under the RCH scheme. During the ante-natal stage, the local nurses will monitor the mothers registered on PICME. The nurse can also help you upload the document details on the official (Pregnant and Infant Cohort Monitoring and Evaluation) software. Registration Objectives The Tamil Nadu government created this website in an effort to make things easier for expectant mothers. Women who are engaged in this programme will have their care supervised by neighbourhood nurses throughout their pregnancy. Both the mother and the child will benefit from this, which will also improve their general health. This is such a wonderful initiative by the TN government to take care of maternal health, female empowerment and clean delivery practices Birth Certificates Obtaining a birth certificate for any child born from a mother having PICME registration is simple. After birth, the expectant mother can provide the RCH ID to obtain a birth certificate for the newborn quickly. Tamilnadu PICME Login Benefits The online pregnancy registration tool would help the state track pregnant women’s needs and difficulties once a woman had enrolled for the programme. The programme links these women to neighbourhood medical facilities like clinics and hospitals. Under this programme, local nurses will check on pregnant mothers to guarantee the health and safety of both the mother and the child. Hence, the equipment guarantees total care for both mother and kid. The RCH ID is obtained by PICME ladies. An RCH ID is required for TN birth certificates. Birth certificates are therefore made simpler by the registration. The pregnant woman will benefit financially and have easier access to care thanks to PICME registration. Tennessee’s IMR and MMR are recorded on the website. A pregnant woman may join the plan after giving birth. Second-time mothers might go through it again. Dr. Muthulakshmi Reddy Maternity Benefit Scheme In addition to providing access to good healthcare during pregnancy, expectant mothers registered under PICME having financial requirements can avail benefits under the Dr. Muthulakshmi Reddy Maternity Benefit Scheme. Under the scheme, the Tamilnadu government provides financial assistance up to Rs. 12,000 for expectant mothers as under: Every pregnant woman will receive the first installment of Rs. 4000. This avails all required health services during the 7th month of pregnancy. After the delivery, the mother will receive the second installment of Rs. 4000. This is available for the mothers who deliver in Government or Local Body Institutions. The third installment of Rs.4000 will be given to the mother on completion of the third dose of DPT, Hepatitis, and Polio vaccine for the child. PICME registration is mandatory for obtaining the above benefits and financial assistance under the Dr. Muthulakshmi Reddy Maternity Benefit Scheme. PICME Registration Eligibility There are only 2 points to keep in mind: The lady applying should be pregnant They should be residents of Tamil Nadu Why PICME 2.0? The programme has been entirely digitised, which means that all information pertaining to pregnancy and child care is kept on an electronic database. This makes it simple to monitor a pregnant woman’s and a newborn’s health. Online registration is now available to expectant mothers via the PICME website or mobile application. This lessens the requirement for in-person visits to healthcare facilities and contributes to maintaining social distancing. The system offers dashboard-based real-time monitoring of expectant mothers and babies. This aids in locating high-risk situations and delivering prompt interventions. Improvements to the PICME mobile app have many features including a chatbot for all questions, e-books on pregnancy and so on.

Encumbrance Certificate

When you buy a property, it is very important to check if there are any legal complications associated with it. If you are wondering how as a buyer you can get access to this information, then an Encumbrance Certificate (EC) will help you find out if there are any charges created on the property. What is an Encumbrance Certificate? If a property is purchased by availing a mortgage or if it has been pledged, the lender will add a “Lien” or a charge to the property. This will ensure that the borrower/property owner does not sell the property until the mortgage is paid in full. An Encumbrance Certificate is a legal document which will help you find out if there are any charges made on the property – financial or legal. You can avail an EC by visiting the respective Sub-Registrar’s Office. The Encumbrance Certificate in India is one of the mandatory documents that is used in the house property transaction. It acts as evidence that the property has a free title and ownership.  When an individual is buying a house the encumbrance certificate can be used to see whether the property is free from legal and monetary liabilities. This encumbrance certificate ensures that the person has total ownership rights over the property and is free from any liabilities. If any property is purchased by availing a mortgage or in case if it has been pledged then the lender will add a Lien to the house. This ensures that the owner of the property cannot sell the property until the mortgage is paid. Why is an Encumbrance Certificate Required? Before buying a property, you must ensure that the property has a clear title. Getting an Encumbrance Certificate will assure you that the property you wish to buy is free from such financial or legal liability. If you notice a charge on the EC, it is important to rectify it before you make the purchase. It will also help you find out if there are any existing owners who can legally claim the property. Apart from that, if you are planning on availing a loan to buy a property, an EC is one of the documents you will be required to submit to your lender. Importance of the Encumbrance Certificate It is very necessary to ensure that the property an individual wishes to buy has a clear title. Getting the encumbrance certificate assures that the property the person wishes to buy does not have any liabilities. If notice is charged on the encumbrance certificate, then it is very important to rectify it before the property is purchased.

Madhya Pradesh Non-Creamy Layer Certificate

In India, the Government introduced the caste-based reservation system to address the issues of discrimination experienced by the disadvantaged communities. The primary objective of the reservation system in India is to uplift the socio-economic status of those underprivileged communities designated by the Government as Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), and Other Backward Class (OBC). However, the people belonging to the OBC community and the General Category are provided equal opportunities in every field. Therefore, to avail the benefits of the reservation, the Other Backward Class (OBC) is sub-categorized as Creamy Layer, and Non-Creamy Layer wherein the people belonging to non-creamy layer should obtain the OBC caste certificate to benefit from the facilities offered by the government. Prime Minister V.P. Singh introduced the Non-Creamy Layer Certificate, also known as the Other Backward Class Certificate, in 1993. Within the Central Government and Public Sector, a portion of jobs were allocated to people with this certificate.IITs and IIMs also offer certain allocations to students with Non-Creamy Layer Certificates. The Tahsildar of the concerned State Government issues Non-Creamy Layer Certificates. The NCL Certificate process varies from state to state. Creamy and Non-Creamy Layer Difference The non-creamy layer sector is differentiated from the creamy layer based on the annual family income. The creamy layer or the non-creamy layer certificate is issued for the people belonging to the OBC community based on their socio-economic status. Apart from the income, there are specific other criteria to be considered for government servants to fall under the non-creamy layer. This was done to distribute the benefits of the reservation among the weaker sections of the Backward Class. The creamy layer is not applicable for any of the benefits of the reserved category as they are treated equally as the General Category whereas the non-creamy layer is called merely as the OBC (Other Backward Class). Criteria for Non-Creamy Layer The annual income of the parents that includes salaries as well as income from other sources should not exceed Rs. 8 Lakhs. None of the parents of the recipient should be a Group A / Class I Officer under the Central / State Government. None of the parents of the recipient should belong to any service in any PSU, Bank, Insurance Company, Educational Institution or in private employment, comparable with Group A / Class I service under Central / State Government or holds any Constitutional post. The person will be treated as belonging to non-creamy layer if none or only one of the parents is a Group B / Class II Officer under the Central / State Government. The person will be treated as the non-creamy layer, if none or only one of the parents belong to any service in any PSU, Bank, Insurance Company, Educational Institution or in private employment, comparable with Group B / Class II service under Central / State Government. A person will not come under the non-creamy layer if parents of whom only the father is a Group-B officer gets into Group-A at the age of 40 or earlier. For government employees, only their cadre in the office is the criterion for non-creamy layer status and not the income limit.
