BANGKOK: The government will deliver the 10,000 baht handout to people who are at least 60 years of age no later than the Chinese New Year as part of the second phase of the modified digital wallet scheme.
Deputy PM and Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira told the press on Tuesday the Cabinet had resolved at its weekly meeting to provide some 4 million elderly people with 10,000 baht in cash by Chinese New Year at the end of January. The rest of the eligible recipients will get their share once the digital wallet system is ready between April and June next year.
