(ii) A maximum 40% for non-SC/ST BPL rural households. (iii) IAY funds and physical targets will be earmarked for BPL minorities in each State as indicated by the Ministry.1 (iv) 3% of the above categories are for physically and mentally challenged persons. If any particular category is exhausted or not available in a district, allocation can be utilized for other categories as per priorities given in the Guidelines after it has been certified to this effect by the Zilla Parishad/DRDA concerned. NB: Eligible minorities are those notified under section 2 (c) of the National Commission for Minorities Act, 1992 Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Budhists and Parsis. However, in the States where minorities are in a majority, only other minority population is treated as minority.
