OF the nearly 10 lakh beneficiaries receiving a monthly honorarium of 1,000 through cooperative banks under the Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thogai (KMUT) scheme, about 60% of them have not been withdrawing the full amount within the same month, indicating a healthy trend among these women to save part of the money for future use, official sources from the cooperative department said.

According to officials, about 50,000 of these KMUT beneficiaries have opened recurring deposit (RD) accounts with their respective cooperative banks, with monthly savings ranging from ₹300 to 500.

RDS offer higher interest rate than regular savings accounts. Cooperative banks are also offering 8% interest on RD accounts for KMUT beneficiaries, compared to the usual 7% offered to other RD account holders.
