New Delhi, Unconditional cash transfer (UCT) schemes for women, implemented by various state governments, should be reviewed periodically for adequacy in light of inflation and evolving household expenditure patterns, the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM) said in a working paper on Monday.
The advisory panel further said UCT schemes implemented by Maharashtra and Odisha governments have generated large and broadly consistent improvements in beneficiaries' savings and consumption.
