Last year, Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana was launched for women in Maharashtra. Under this scheme, direct financial benefits are given to women by the government. In this scheme, the government sends the benefit amount directly to the accounts of women through DBT i.e. Direct Benefit Transfer. Crores of women of Maharashtra state are getting the benefits of the government’s Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana.
Earlier, under this scheme, Rs 1500 was given every month. After the formation of Mahayuti government again in Maharashtra, the benefits given under this scheme have been increased. Now women are given Rs 2100. But not all women get the benefit of this government scheme. For this, the government has set some eligibility criteria. Benefits are given on that basis. Recently lakhs of women have been declared ineligible from this scheme. Let us explain. Which women do not get the benefit of the scheme?
Some eligibility criteria have been made by the Government of Maharashtra to avail the benefits of Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana. Under which only those women will be able to get benefits in the scheme. Whose combined annual income of the family is more than Rs 2,50,000. Those women cannot avail the benefits of this scheme. Or women who have someone in their family who pays income tax. Women whose family members are permanently or regularly employed in a government department, undertaking board, Government of India or any local body of the State Government or are receiving pension will also not get this benefit.
Women who are getting the benefit of Rs 1500 under any other financial scheme of the government. They too will not get the benefit of this scheme. If any member of the woman’s family has any other four-wheeler other than a tractor, then he will also not get the benefit. 2 crore 63 lakh women had applied under this scheme in the Maharashtra government. But when the process of verification and recognition was completed. Thus only 2 crore 47 lakh women were found eligible to avail the benefits of the scheme. That means around 16 lakh women will be declared ineligible. Those who will no longer get the benefit of this scheme. Apart from this, if a person applies for benefits on the basis of any wrong document or in a wrong way, then he will also not be able to get the benefits under the scheme.
