In most states, except Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Karnataka, Haryana, West Bengal and Sikkim,

ASHAs do not get a fixed monthly payment.1

They are entitled to Rs 2,000 a month set by the central government, conditional on completing a
set of eight core tasks: organising Village Health and Nutrition Days and convening the Village
Health, Sanitation and Nutrition Committee every month, listing and updating household data
every six months, maintaining a record of births and deaths, preparing child immunisation lists
every month and updating lists of newly married couples.
They earn incentives for other tasks: one rupee for every Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS)
packet distributed and Rs 300 for each institutional birth and antenatal care2
