Ladki Bahin Yojana new rule: The Maharashtra government has set new rules for the Ladki Bahin Yojana. Women must complete e-KYC on their accounts within the next two months, or their monthly ₹ 1,500 will be withheld. This step was taken after 2.6 million fake beneficiaries were discovered.
The Maharashtra government’s Chief Minister’s Ladki Bahin Yojana has provided financial assistance to many women. The scheme’s purpose was to provide direct assistance to economically disadvantaged women so they could more easily meet their expenses. Under the scheme, women between the ages of 21 and 65 receive a monthly ₹ 1,500 transfer into their bank accounts. However, the government has now implemented a new rule to ensure this facility continues.
