A latest update is coming out in relation to the ‘Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahan’ scheme, which is popularly known as Ladki Bahin Yojana, started by the Maharashtra Government for the poor and needy women of the state.
To avail the benefits of this scheme, it is very important for eligible women to get e-KYC done, otherwise their name may be removed from this scheme. Let us tell you that earlier the last date for e-KYC was 18th November but now its date has been extended further.
e-KYC date extended
Let us tell you that due to natural disasters and problems faced in many districts, many beneficiary women were not able to do e-KYC on time. In such a situation, the state government has extended the deadline for e-KYC. Now women have got more time to complete e-KYC. The new last date has been fixed as 31 December 2025. This means that women who have not yet done e-KYC can complete it online sitting at home without any haste. Minister Aditi S Tatkare also wrote on social media that the government has taken this decision understanding the problems of women.
Why is e-KYC necessary?
The state government says that the monthly assistance of Rs 1500 given to the women associated with the scheme will be released only when their identity is verified with Aadhaar. If e-KYC is not done on time, the monthly installment of Rs 1500 will be stopped.
