The Rajasthan Minimum Guaranteed Income Bill 2023 was introduced by the Ashok Gehlot government with the aim of providing "additional income" to individuals and households in the state. The bill focuses on three main areas: the right to minimum guaranteed income, the right to guaranteed employment, and the right to guaranteed social security pension. The Rajasthan government provides social security pensions to around 10 million beneficiaries at an annual expenditure of Rs9,000 crore. Through this, all families in the state will be able to get an employment guarantee of 125 days every year, and a minimum pension of Rs1,000 per month in case of aged/disabled/single women. Through the CM Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, 125 days of employment is provided, instead of 100 days of employment under the MGNREGA. In the Rajasthan Right to Health (RTH) Bill 2022, cleared by the cabinet in March 2023, the people of the state will be entitled to emergency care in private hospitals without any prepayment.
