Ladki Bahin Scheme Rule Change: The central and state governments are implementing numerous government schemes to empower women financially. Relief news has arrived for women associated with the Ladki Bahin Scheme in Maharashtra. The state government has temporarily suspended the e-KYC process implemented under this scheme. This means that beneficiary sisters will no longer have to undergo the e-KYC process. Following this government decision, it is expected that the October installment will be deposited into beneficiaries’ bank accounts soon.
After the implementation of the e-KYC rule, many women expressed dissatisfaction. They stated that it was difficult to obtain e-KYC information for their husbands or fathers, preventing them from receiving benefits on time. The government has taken this step in response to the difficulties faced by the public.

Why did the government implement the eKYC rule?
The e-KYC rule was introduced to ensure that the benefits of the scheme reach the right beneficiaries. The government had found that in some cases, the wrong people had become beneficiaries. Therefore, e-KYC of the husband or father through the PAN card was made mandatory for verification. This would have allowed for an accurate assessment of their income. However, after widespread opposition, the government has currently suspended this process.
How much budget did the government allocate?
The Ladki Behen Yojana is an ambitious social scheme of the Maharashtra government, under which financial assistance is provided to economically weaker women. So far, more than 25.6 million women have benefited from this scheme. The government has also approved a budget of ₹3,960 crore for this.
