This grant is planned to continue stretching until February 2025 and comes from an increase to R370 of the SRD grant which comes into effect from April 2024, replacing the R350. Such grants serve as a life support measure in financial assistance for unemployed South Africans or individuals from financial hardships.
March 2025 Payment Schedule
Every month, the SRD R370 grant payment is done by SASSA around the 25th and 31st day. March 2025 will not differ from this schedule. Dates may change, thus beneficiaries need to check around the actual date of payment.

Important
- Bank Payments: Most people who gave valid bank accounts will be paid via these banks, so the process can be quick and smooth for them.
- Post Office Payment: Payments can be collected by people who don’t have bank accounts from Selected Post Offices. It is recommended that you first check payment dates before making such a visit so as to avoid activities at the Post Office.
- Avoiding Scams: Always check grant status through official SASSA channels. Be wary of unsolicited messages or calls requesting your personal information or payment to process your grant. SASSA services are free and would never ask you to pay to access your grant.
In short, knowing your SRD R370 status and payment dates becomes a prerequisite to the timely receipt of your funds. Be sure to check your status through any of the above-mentioned official channels to keep updated and avoid problems.
