Free Motorized Tricycle Scheme for Persons with Disabilities

The "Free Motorized Tricycle Scheme for Persons with Disabilities" aims to empower individuals facing mobility challenges due to disabilities. Launched in 2020 by the Government of Uttar Pradesh, the program provides free motorized tricycles to those struggling to integrate into society due to physical limitations. This initiative seeks to facilitate their economic and social rehabilitation, granting them greater independence and participation in daily life.

Eligibility for the program is determined by several factors. Individuals suffering from conditions like muscular dystrophy, stroke, cerebral palsy, or hemophilia may qualify, provided they meet specific criteria. These include good eyesight, mental capacity, and sufficient upper body strength to operate the tricycle while seated. Additionally, the applicant must have a disability certified by the Chief Medical Officer of their district at a minimum of 80%.

• The maximum grant amount under this scheme is the motorized actual price of tricycles or ₹25,000/- whichever minimum per person with disabilities will be permissible.

Note: If the cost of a motorized bicycle exceeds ₹25,000/-, the expenditure incurred in addition to the maximum grant amount of ₹25,000/- will be borne by the beneficiary himself.
