Influencers on X, Facebook, and Instagram will be eligible to receive up to ₹5 lakh, ₹4 lakh, ₹3 lakh, and ₹2 lakh, depending on their category.

For those creating content on YouTube, including videos, shorts, and podcasts, the earnings can be even higher, with potential monthly payouts reaching up to ₹8 lakh, ₹7 lakh, ₹6 lakh, and ₹4 lakh for different tiers.
