Maharashtra Mandates Father/Husband Aadhaar for Ladki Bahin Scheme

The Maharashtra government is changing how it checks who can get help from the Ladki Bahin Scheme.

Now, women need to provide their father's or husband's Aadhaar information.

This helps the government check the family's income.

The goal is to make sure the money goes to the families who need it most.

Many people who shouldn't have been getting money were, so this will help fix that.

Families must earn less than ₹2.5 lakh a year to qualify.

If a woman is married, the husband's income is considered; if unmarried, the father's income is checked.

This should make the program fairer.
