Is it mandatory to keep an imprest with ANM ?
Ans. Yes. A recoupable imprest of Rs.5000/- should be kept with ANM. The purpose is to make quick disbursement to the beneficiary. Out of this, the ANM should keep atleast Rs. 1500/- (recoupable) with the ASHA/Anganwadi Worker so that when the pregnant women need to be taken to the health institution for delivery, ASHA is able to organize transport quickly. This would quicken the process of disbursement that is key to the success of JSY.
