Ladki Bahin Yojana fraud beneficiaries beware: Maharashtra govt to cross-check income tax data; check who is eligible to get Rs 1,500 per month

The Maharashtra government can now access Income Tax Return data to identify fraudulent beneficiaries of the Ladki Bahin Yojana. This move, enabled by a central government notification, aims to tighten screening and ensure only eligible women from economically weaker backgrounds receive the financial assistance of Rs. 1500 or more per month.
