LUCKY GRAHAK YOJANA


An Innovative Initiative To Digitalise India

Lucky Grahak Yojana is an initiative to develop a corrupt free digital india. It is a huge step to completely bring out a cashless India!
Today the news often reads
Demonetization of high value bank notes;
Promotion of cashless digital transactions;
Income tax department raids;
Magical! The governmental steps towards cashless economy are rapidly evolving a DIGITAL INDIA. One such step towards cashless economy is Lucky Grahak Yojana. After demonetization of high value currency notes, the Government is literally pushing rather forcing its citizens to embrace digital transactions. However, there still persist gaps that need to be filled in to completely digitalize India and make it corruption free.
Lucky Grahak Yojana is a LOTTERY scheme. People who use digital transactions will become eligible for daily and weekly lucky draws and prizes. Thousands of people would get rewards through this scheme every day. Government of India has allocated an amount of Rs 340 crores for this scheme of Lucky Grahak Yojana.
With the motto of “GO DIGITAL, GET BENEFITS”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched two schemes
  1. Lucky Grahak Yojana
  2. Digi Dhan Vyapaar Yojana
Both the schemes were together launched on the Christmas Eve, December 25 2016 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The first draw was made by the Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology Ravi Shankar Prasad and the union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.

Since then the winners will be selected everyday and the amount will be credited to their bank accounts directly within the next 24 hours. And the schemes are to be run till April 14 2017.
Financial details of Lucky Grahak Yojana
Every day 15, 000 people will be selected by lucky draw and will be rewarded with a cash prize of Rs 1000. Weekly prizes worth Rs 5, 000, Rs 10, 000, Rs 1 Lakh are also contained in the Lucky Grahak Yojana. Apart from weekly and daily prizes a mega draw is to happen on the day of Ambedkar Jayanti, that is, on 14th April 2017.
Features of Lucky Grahak Yojana
Lucky Grahak Yojana is applicable only for consumers. Especially, it is applicable to the consumers whose transactions are worth from Rs 50 to Rs 3, 000. This is a great step to focus the poor and middle class people.
Lucky Grahak Yojana is implemented by NPCI – National Payment Corporation of India. It is a 100 day programme that started on December 25, 2016 and to end on April 14, 2017.

  2. Transactions made using eWallets like Paytm, MobiKwik, Freecharge, etc.
Amount limit for Lucky Draw
The digital and card payments of more than Rs 3000 are not eligible for the lucky draw. Also, the more you use digital payments, the more you would be eligible to get a prize. So it is wise to split the bill to take part in the scheme!

The only two conditions to take part in Lucky Grahak Yojana is that
  1. The participant has to own a bank account
  2. The participant has to make digital payments between Rs 50 and Rs 3000

Analysis of Lucky Grahak Yojana

Working of the scheme
NPCI – National Payment Corporation of India Ltd overlooks the transactions of the Lucky Grahak Yojana. NPCI currently manages all the transactions that is happening through USSD, UPI, IMPS, RuPay card, and UPI.
  1. NPCI first collects all the transaction Ids of the customers who enrolled themselves in the scheme for a stipulated time period.
  2. The Ids are then categorised as USSD, RuPay, UPI, AEPS, etc.
  3. Later, a lucky draw is conducted using a special softare exclusively developed for Lucky Grahak Yojana and a lucky inner is selected in each category.
  4. The selected Ids are then communicated to the corresponding banks through hich the transaction happened.
  5. The respective bank identifies the ID number and the corresponding account holder of the ID. The bank then sends back the details of the winner to the NPCI.
  6. NPCI then credits Rs 1000 to the accounts using he fund from NITI Aayog.
Website to know the result
Government has opened a website exclusively for Lucky Grahak Yojana from where one can know if he / she is the inner of the day. A lucky draw is being conducted every day throughout India through Digi Dhan Melas in one city or another.
In the website, one can know if he has won by verifying his mobile number through OTP. However, only the winner can know the result. No names will be provided as the entire process is being conducted with Ids and account numbers.
UPI is Unified Payment Interface. Lucky Grahak Yojana is one of the prime steps to accomplish digital goals like UPI. UPI has many benefits. IT is considered as a revolutionary innovation as it is the most advanced methods among all the digital payments.
NEFT charge a minimum of Rs 2.50 per transaction whereas IMPS charges Rs 5. But with UPI it is just Rs 0.50 per transaction. Also it does not demand any details like IFSC code, MICR code, etc. Also it works 24 / 7, so the funds get transferred instantly.
Lucky Grahak Yojana and NITI Aayog
National Institution for Transforming India has introduced many schemes to digitalise India. One such scheme to promote Digital india is Lucky Grahak Yojana. The cash prize for the Yojana is being paid by the NITI Aayog. The CEO of the team is Mr Amitabh Kant.
