Maharashtra Extends Ladki Bahin Yojana e-KYC Deadline
The government in Maharashtra has given more time for women to do a quick online check, called e-KYC, for the Ladki Bahin Yojana.
Many women couldn't do it by the original deadline because of bad weather and other problems.
Now, they have until December 31st to finish this check.
The government also made it easier for some women, like those whose husbands have passed away, by explaining what extra papers they might need to show.
The Maharashtra government has extended the e-KYC deadline for the Ladki Bahin Yojana to December 31, 2024.
The extension is due to difficulties faced by beneficiaries because of natural disasters and technical issues.
Women encountered problems with OTPs for Aadhaar-based verification, especially when the linked mobile number was inactive or belonged to a deceased family member.
Specific documentation, such as death certificates or divorce certificates, may be required for certain beneficiaries.
The government aims to ensure that no eligible woman is denied benefits due to circumstances beyond her control.
