Hence, statement 1 is correct. • Disbursement of Cash Assistance: As the cash assistance to the mother is mainly to meet the cost of delivery, it should be disbursed effectively at the institution itself. Hence, statement 2 is correct. • There is no feature in the scheme with respect to the provision of wage loss due to pregnancy and confinement. Hence, statement 3 is incorrect. • Therefore, A is the right answer.
