Over 2,200 ineligible women beneficiaries, who were government employees, removed from 'CM Majhi Ladki Bahin' scheme in Maharashtra.
The scheme offers Rs 1,500 monthly financial assistance to women aged 21-65 from economically weaker sections, but government employees are not eligible.
An internal audit discovered that ineligible employees had been receiving benefits since June 2023, with uncertainty on funds recovery.
State government is conducting verifications to eliminate ineligible beneficiaries and ensuring only deserving women receive support.
