Ladki Bahin Yojana: The Maharashtra government’s Ladki Bahin Yojana provides financial assistance of ₹1,500 per month to economically disadvantaged women aged 21 to 65. To prevent fraudulent beneficiaries, the scheme now requires mandatory e-KYC, with married women providing their husband’s income and unmarried women providing their father’s income to continue receiving benefits.
Ladki Bahin Yojana: The Maharashtra government’s Ladki Behen Yojana aims to provide financial assistance to women and girls. This scheme is for women aged 21 to 65 whose family annual income does not exceed ₹2.5 lakh. Under the scheme, eligible women receive monthly financial assistance of ₹1,500 directly into their Aadhaar-linked bank accounts. This assistance is provided in 11 installments annually, and many women have already received benefits worth lakhs of rupees under this scheme.
However, the government has tightened the rules to prevent misuse of the scheme. Now, in addition to completing their own KYC, married women will also have to complete their husband’s e-KYC, and unmarried women will also have to complete their father’s e-KYC. This step has been taken to prevent fraudulent beneficiaries and ensure that assistance reaches the right people. Failure to complete proper e-KYC will result in the beneficiary’s name being removed from the scheme.
The documents required for this scheme include Aadhaar card, bank passbook, identity card, income certificate, etc. After filling the form and submitting the documents, the eligibility is checked by the bank and then the financial assistance is released.
This scheme promotes women’s financial independence and empowers them to participate in social decisions. Through this, the government aims to empower women financially and improve their quality of life. Women receiving assistance through this scheme not only receive a monthly income but also improve their self-confidence and social status.
To benefit from this scheme, check eligibility, prepare the necessary documents, and apply through your nearest government center or online portal. The Ladki Behen Yojana is an important step towards empowering women, bringing positive changes to their lives.
