There is the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant from the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA), which supports millions of South Africans. Maybe the benefit of having an SRD R350 grant will be augmented in March in the year 2025. Here is the much-awaited detail information: what is accessible to beneficiaries about the payment dates, amounts revised, and eligibility.
Date Of SRD Grant Payment For March 2025
The dates for payment of SRD grants for March 2025, according to SASSA, would proceed according to the last three digits of beneficiaries’ ID numbers. Your payments would come as follows:
- ID numbers ending in 0-2: [Exact Date] March 2025
- ID numbers ending in 3-5: [Exact Date] March 2025
- ID numbers ending in 6-9: [Exact Date] March 2025
It is essential to note that while SASSA pays on the date, beneficiaries must wait for 2-3 working days for their funds to reflect in their respective accounts, dependent on the payment chosen.
Will There Be An Increase Applied To SRD Payments?
There has been much talk about increasing the SRD grant from an amount of R350 to one much higher. There is talk of possible revision from the government to help low-income citizens deal with inflationary increases. Nothing has been confirmed as yet, however.
The official reports say that the government is going to consider the increase of the SRD grant to R500 or beyond. Beneficiaries should pay attention to the SASSA announcements for confirming changes.
