**Question:** Under HBNC which is not remuneration for ASHA

**Core Concept:** HBNC stands for "Health and Basic Needs Card" which is a scheme implemented in India to provide financial assistance and health services to pregnant women, new-borns, children under five years, and family planning beneficiaries. ASHA stands for Accredited Social Health Activist, a community health worker involved in disseminating health information and providing primary healthcare services.

**Why the Correct Answer is Right:** ASHA workers are volunteers who are paid for their services under the HBNC scheme. Remuneration for ASHA includes incentives for delivering healthy babies, immunization, and family planning services. However, not all the components under HBNC are remuneration for ASHA.

**Why Each Wrong Option is Incorrect:**

A. **Remuneration for providing family planning services**: This is correct, as ASHA receives incentives for promoting and providing family planning services as part of the HBNC scheme.

B. **Remuneration for attending ANC (Antenatal Care) visits**: ASHA is also paid for attending ANC visits, which includes providing health education and promoting maternal and child health.

C. **Remuneration for conducting home delivery**: ASHA is not directly involved in conducting home deliveries; instead, she facilitates institutional delivery and receives payment for promoting and facilitating institutional deliveries.

D. **Remuneration for conducting immunization**: ASHA is involved in promoting and conducting immunization, but the payment for immunization directly comes from the government and is not part of HBNC scheme remuneration for ASHA.

**Clinical Pearl:** ASHA plays a significant role in promoting maternal and child health under the HBNC scheme. The remuneration for ASHA includes aspects like attending ANC visits, promoting family planning, facilitating institutional deliveries, and promoting immunizations. However, ASHA is not directly paid for conducting immunizations or home deliveries, and the payment for institutional deliveries is separate from the HBNC scheme remuneration.
