The Ladki Bahin Yojana in Maharashtra has consistently shown itself to be a reliable source of financial aid for women. Women’s KYC alone, however, will no longer be enough to qualify for the program’s benefits due to recent modifications. Now, married women must give their spouses’ e-KYC information, while single women must give their fathers’ e-KYC information. This modification was implemented to increase the scheme’s transparency and guarantee that the correct people receive benefits.
Why is the father’s or husband’s e-KYC information required?
The government found in recent months that although many women were receiving benefits from the scheme, the combined yearly income of their families was more than ₹2.5 lakh. In the past, the benefits would not have reached the actual beneficiaries because only the woman’s individual income was taken into account. The income of the father, if unmarried, and the husband, if married, will now also be considered under the new rules.
Ladki Bahin Yojana: How to finish the e-KYC procedure
An official website for this has been made available by the government: https://ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in/ekyc. It’s an easy process. Access the website and input your Aadhaar number first. Click ‘Send OTP’ once the captcha code has been entered. The cellphone number associated with your Aadhaar will receive an OTP. Click ‘Submit’ after entering it in the required form.
The following page will appear if you haven’t finished your KYC yet. In this case, unmarried women must submit their father’s Aadhaar number, while married women must give their husband’s. Next, carry out the same OTP procedure once more. Fill out a declaration declaring that no one in the family has a government job or pension after choosing your caste category. Following accurate information entry, the screen will display the following message: “Success – Your e-KYC has been successfully completed.”
Ladki Bahin Yojana: The reason for this modification
According to the government, the e-KYC procedure will guarantee that the legitimate and legitimate women receive the program’s benefits. There have been a number of documented instances in the past where women who were unemployed were still receiving scheme funds even though their fathers or husbands were well-off. Now, the government will have a record of the entire family’s financial situation.
