The Maharashtra government, led by Devendra Fadnavis, is verifying beneficiaries of the 'Ladki Bahin Yojana.' These verifications aim to find ineligible recipients and recover wrongly claimed funds. The scheme offers ₹1,500 per month to women aged 21-65. To qualify, the family’s annual income must not exceed ₹2.5 lakh.

The government’s decision has revealed major discrepancies. This has led to strong criticism from people.

Cross-Verification And Refund Process

The cross-verification process has revealed surprising issues with eligibility. Aditi Tatkare, Minister for Women and Child Welfare, said some beneficiaries earn over ₹2.5 lakh, own vehicles, submit multiple applications, or live outside Maharashtra. She also mentioned that over 4,000 women have voluntarily returned the funds after realising they were not eligible.

Tatkare, further added, “Those who have, in good faith, returned the money, we thank them. This transport and income tax department cross verification, will not be a one-time process, but will be ongoing.”

Funds which have been wrongfully disbursed will be deposited back into the government treasury for funding infrastructure development works.

Political Implications

The issue has caused a political uproar which might create problems for the Mahayuti government, which includes BJP, Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde faction), and NCP (Ajit Pawar faction), which won 230 of 288 seats in the last elections. The scheme helped gain support from women voters.

Future Of The Scheme

The Ladki Bahin Yojana remains an important welfare scheme. However, its implementation is under scrutiny. The government is correcting mistakes and reallocating funds toward public works. Opposing parties are critical, and citizens may protest. This puts the government in a challenging political position.

While cross-verification is still going on, the government’s approach towards the public and maintaining the trust of the citizens remains to be seen.

Conclusion

The Ladki Bahin Yojana’s cross-verification shows the government’s focus on fairness and accountability. However, the opposition's criticism highlights the need for a careful approach. To maintain public trust, the government must handle irregularities sensitively. The scheme's success depends on clear rules and transparent execution.
