Maharashtra Sets April 30 Deadline for e-KYC in Majhi Ladki Bahin Scheme Amid Verification Issues

Maharashtra's Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana requires eligible women to complete or correct their e-KYC by April 30, the final deadline after multiple extensions. Nearly 2.63 million beneficiaries have yet to comply. Verification revealed irregularities, including men impersonating women and ineligible claims, prompting disciplinary actions and recovery of Rs 165 crore. The government has provided an online correction facility for errors in employment status declarations, emphasizing no further extensions will be granted.
