Maharashtra's women welfare scheme loses Rs 163 crore to fraud, prompting a tech crackdown.
Maharashtra's women welfare scheme, Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana, has faced significant fraud, with Rs 163 crore lost to ineligible beneficiaries, including 26.34 lakh women and around 12,000 men.
Launched in July 2024, the scheme aimed to provide a monthly allowance of Rs 1,500 to women aged 21-60.
However, poor monitoring led to widespread fraud, prompting a tech-driven crackdown that identified over 33 lakh ineligible claimants and saved Rs 3,000 crore.
The scheme's launch was linked to securing women's votes ahead of elections.
