Ladki Bahin Yojana: 2,289 Women Dropped From Maharashtra Scheme's Beneficiary List; Is Your Name Still There?

Ladki Bahin Yojana: In a major update related to the Maharashtra government's ambitious women's welfare scheme, the state government has removed 2,289 women from the beneficiary list. The action on Ladki Bahin Yojana beneficiaries came after it was found that these women were ineligible for the scheme because of their employment status.

Nearly 2289 existing women beneficiaries of Maharashtra's Mukyamantri Ladki Bahin Yojana were removed from the list after it was found that they were beneficiaries of the Mukyamantri Ladki Bahin Scheme, reported news agency ANI, citing Maharashtra's Women and Child Development Minister Aditi S Tatkare.

During the scrutiny of the women registered under the scheme, it was found that 2289 women government employees were beneficiaries of the scheme, and these persons have been identified, and Ladki Bahin Yojana benefits are discontinued to these women, informed Tatkare in a written reply at the Maharashtra Assembly on Thursday.

The development has come days after the Maharashtra Minister had informed that the government is actively scrutinising the scheme beneficiaries to ensure that its benefits are provided to only eligible women.

Additionally, the government is actively investigating the eligibility of other women beneficiaries. Nearly 75,000 women in the Pune district, registered as owners of four-wheelers, are under the government scanner because of the ongoing Ladki Bahin scheme verification drive. The large number of potentially ineligible beneficiaries has triggered concerns over the initial screening process, reported Hindustan Times on Wednesday.
