Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan will launch the scheme in Mumbai and Mumbai Suburban District while guardian ministers of Pune, Nandurbar, Wardha and Amravati will launch it in their respective districts.
The six districts of the state are part of the 51 originally selected in 11 states for implementation of the scheme's first phase, with more additions from February.
Chavan said the beneficiaries would be able to withdraw the cash from their Aadhaar-linked bank accounts through ATM cards.
Aadhaar is a 12-digit individual identification number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India to serve as proofs of identity and address.
Chavan said Maharashtra led the country with over five crore Aadhaar registrations and distribution of over 4.2 crore Aadhaar cards.
