My Daughter’s Plan: The Government of India runs many schemes for the common people. There are different schemes for different people. Apart from the central government, the governments of different states of the country also run many schemes for their citizens. Now many schemes are being brought for women empowerment. Recently, the Shinde government of Maharashtra has started the Chief Minister Majhi Ladki Behen Yojana for the women of the state.
Under this government scheme, lakhs of women of Maharashtra are getting benefits. But many irregularities are also seen in this scheme. Many people are committing fraud in it. Let us tell you how the fraud is being carried out and what can be the punishment.
Benefits are being taken from fake documents
Under the Maharashtra government’s Manjhi Ladki Behan Yojana, only women are given benefits. But fraud related to the schemes has also come to light in Maharashtra. Many men have registered as applicants in the scheme by creating women’s IDs. So far, a very large number of benefit forms have been submitted under the scheme.
Men had applied. As soon as the department came to know about this, all such applications were cancelled. During the verification process, these applications were cancelled after checking them. These people uploaded their Aadhaar card and filled the guarantee form in their name but they put a woman’s photo in their place on the portal.

Multiple applications in the name of the same woman
On the other hand, another fake scheme has come to light in the Maharashtra government’s Majhi Ladki Behan Yojana. Where 28 applications have been made in the name of a single woman. Out of these, only one application has been approved. The remaining 27 applications have been rejected. Let us tell you that under this scheme, money has been transferred to the accounts in the first phase. Under this scheme, the government gives financial assistance of ₹ 1500 every month to women whose family’s annual income is less than 2.5 lakhs and whose age is between 21 years to 65 years.
