68 Lakh Ladki Bahin e-KYC Accounts Closed in Maharashtra: Know the Real Reason

• Approximately 68 lakh beneficiary accounts under Maharashtra's 'Ladki Bahin Yojana' were closed due to failure to complete mandatory e-KYC.
• The number of active accounts has decreased to 1.75 crore from 2.43 crore registered accounts.
• The e-KYC deadline has been extended from March 31 to April 30, allowing closed accounts to be reactivated.
• Verification was initiated due to complaints of ineligible individuals, including men and government employees, benefiting from the scheme.
• Technical glitches initially misidentified 24 lakh beneficiaries as government employees; the government assures no recovery from ineligible beneficiaries for already disbursed amounts.
