Hey there, folks of Pune! Here’s some hot news for you – the Women and Child Welfare Department has been cracking down on ineligible applications under the Ladki Bahin Yojana. Can you believe they’ve rejected over 10,000 applications in Pune district alone? Yikes!
Apparently, the scheme, which was started by the Mahayuti government five months ago, aims to help out women with an annual income of less than ₹2.5 lakh. But here’s the catch – they can’t have already received benefits from any other government scheme. Tough requirements, right?
Out of the whopping 21 lakh applications they received, nearly 10,000 were deemed ineligible due to major issues. And there are over 69,000 applications still pending for Aadhaar-linked bank account verification. That’s a lot of paperwork!
The main reasons for rejection include incomplete forms, wrong details, no Aadhaar linkage, high annual incomes, and even owning a four-wheeler. Talk about strict criteria!
But hey, it’s not all bad news. Over 20 lakh women have already received benefits under the scheme. That’s a lot of happy ladies in Pune!
So, while the Ladki Bahin Yojana has been a hit among women in the district, it’s clear that the government is serious about ensuring that only the deserving ones get the help they need. Let’s hope the remaining applications get sorted out soon so that more women can benefit from this program. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story!
