Sochiye — aapko government se ₹1,500 milna shuru hua, aur achanak ek din band ho gaya. Koi notice nahi, koi call nahi. Bas ek SMS — aap disqualify ho gayi hain. Maharashtra mein lagbhag 80 lakh mahilaon ke saath yahi hua. Lekin ab CM Devendra Fadnavis ne clear kar diya hai — Ladki Bahin Yojana band nahi ho rahi, sirf “sahi logon” ke liye chal rahi hai.
“Scheme band nahi ho rahi — sirf ineligible logon ko hataya gaya hai.” — CM Devendra Fadnavis
Aakhir hua kya? Puri kahani samjhein
2024 mein jab Mahayuti government ne Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana launch ki thi, tab 2.5 crore mahilaon ne enrollment kiya. ₹1,500 per month milne lage — bina zyada documents maange. Scheme ka faayda uthaya — aur vote bhi mile.
Lekin election ke baad nayi Fadnavis sarkar ne ek review process shuru ki. April 30, 2026 — e-KYC deadline. Aur uske baad aaya 80 lakh women ka disqualification. Social media pe utha toofan, opposition ne kiya hamlaa, aur mahilaon mein chhaa gayi uncertainty.
CM Fadnavis Ne Kya Kaha?
Weekly cabinet meeting se pehle media se baat karte hue CM Fadnavis ne ek-ek point clear kiya. Unka kehna tha ki scheme shuru se hi specific parameters ke saath thi. Jo mahilayein eligible hain — unka paisa band nahi hua. Jo 80 lakh hatayi gayi hain, unke baare mein unhone khulke bataya:
Pehli baat — 5 lakh se zyada government employees the jo is scheme ka faayda utha rahi theen, jabki yeh scheme unke liye thi hi nahi. Doosri baat — kuch mahilaon ke naam pe vehicles registered theen, jo eligibility criteria ke bahar hai. Teesri aur sabse shocking baat — 14,000 mard bhi is scheme ka paisa le rahe the. Jin logon ne galat self-certification ki aur documents nahi de sake, unhe system ne naturally filter kar diya.
Kya Abhi Bhi Koi Chance Hai?
Haan. CM ne ek rahat ki baat bhi kahi — jo mahilayein abhi bhi apne documents submit karna chahti hain, unhe aane wale dino mein ek aur mauka diya jaayega. Matlab agar aap genuine hain aur kisi kaaran se KYC miss ho gayi, toh abhi umeed baaki hai.
Opposition Ka Hamlaa — Sahi Hai Ya Sirf Politics?
Congress president Harshvardhan Sapkal ka kehna hai ki yeh poori scheme ek “vote loot” thi. Pehle votes liye, ab benefits cheen liye. Opposition ka yeh argument logically strong lagta hai — kyunki jab scheme launch hui thi, tab documents ki zaroorat nahi thi. Baad mein rules strict karna naturally un logon ko hurt karta hai jo genuinely eligible the lekin paperwork mein kaachi reh gayi.
Doosri taraf, government ka argument bhi completely galat nahi — taxpayers ka paisa unhe milna chahiye jinhein actually zaroorat hai, na government employees ko.
Aapko Kya Karna Chahiye?
Agar aap ya aapke ghar mein koi mahila Ladki Bahin Yojana ki beneficiary thi aur ab payment nahi aa rahi — toh ghabrayein mat. Sabse pehle apna e-KYC status check karein, apne tehsil office ya Common Service Centre (CSC) se contact karein, aur apne documents — Aadhaar, income certificate, residence proof — ready rakhein. CM ke announcement ke mutabik, documents submit karne ka ek aur window milne waala hai.
Bottom Line
Ladki Bahin Yojana khatam nahi hui — but significantly shrink zaroor ho gayi hai. 2.5 crore se 1.70 crore tak ka safar ek bada cut hai. Kya yeh sirf cleanup tha ya genuine beneficiaries bhi is process mein pis gayi hain? Yeh sawaal abhi bhi utha hua hai. Aane waale dino mein jab government next installment release karegi, tab hi asli picture clear hogi.
