In Haryana, no BPL card for having fridge, scooter

The Haryana Human Rights Commission (HHRC) has questioned how can donated household items like a refrigerator or an old scooter, or a generations-old house disqualify a person from the states BPL list.

The commission made the observation in the case of a Sonepat resident, who was excluded from the BPL list, and summoned the administrative/principal secretary concerned. The Urban Projection Officer, Sonepat , submitted before the commission that if a household has a vehicle or has two or more rooms with pucca walls and roof or has a refrigerator or a landline or has a member earning more than Rs 10,000 per month or owns 2.5-acre or more of irrigated land, it will be excluded from the BPL list.
