E-KYC Reverification Still Awaited
A few months ago, many beneficiary women were excluded from the scheme despite completing the e-KYC process. Therefore, the Chief Minister had announced that these women would be given the opportunity to e-KYC again.

However, when will the August installment be received? And when will the e-KYC process start again?, the beloved sisters are still waiting for clarity from the state government.
The Maharashtra government implemented the 'Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana' in July 2024. The main objective of this initiative is to make women from economically weaker sections of the state self-reliant. Under the scheme, eligible women receive financial assistance directly in their bank accounts.
Women whose family's annual income is less than INR 2.5 lakh and whose age is between 21 and 65 years are eligible for this scheme. Each eligible woman is given a monthly financial assistance of INR 1,500 directly into her bank account.
Also, to ensure transparency in the scheme and avoid malpractices, the government has made it mandatory to complete the e-KYC process. The timing of the August installment and the proposed opportunity for excluded beneficiaries to complete e-KYC again remain key issues for women enrolled in the scheme.
