Maharashtra Government’s Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana helps women become financially independent and improve their health and role in the family. Under this scheme, eligible women receive Rs. 1,500 every month, adding up to Rs. 18,000 each year, which is directly transferred to their bank accounts.
Overview of Ladki Bahin Yojana
This scheme gives financial support to women in Maharashtra for daily expenses. Over two crore women have already received money through this scheme. Due to new rules, women need to be careful when applying, especially while filling in the “Office Name” field.
Why is the Office Name Important?
The “Office Name” means your local Anganwadi centre’s name. Only Anganwadi workers are allowed to submit applications on behalf of women. If you enter the correct Office Name, your application will reach the right Anganwadi centre. Wrong details might delay or reject your application.
What Should You Fill in the Office Name Section?
- Enter the name or number of your nearby Anganwadi centre in the Office Name field.
- If you don’t know the name, visit the centre and ask the Anganwadi worker for help. Don’t hesitate to ask for assistance whenever you need it.
Updates in the Application Process
The Maharashtra Government has updated the application process to stop misuse and make sure only deserving women get the benefits. The main changes are:
- Now, only Anganwadi workers can submit applications. Earlier, women could apply from home or through Setu Centres.
- As per the government resolution dated 6 September 2024, women cannot fill the form themselves. Only Anganwadi workers have permission to fill forms for them.
