The central government keeps bringing many schemes for the women of the country. Crores of women in the country get the benefit of government schemes. Apart from the central government, the governments of different states of the country also bring schemes for women.
Maiya Samman Yojana is being run by the Jharkhand government for the women of the state. This scheme was started last year. A total of 58 lakh women in the state are getting benefits from this scheme. But now big news has come about this scheme.
In this scheme of Jharkhand government, women were given Rs 1000 by the government. But after winning the elections again in the state, the Hemant Soren government increased this amount to Rs 2500. Let us tell you that the government has fixed eligibility criteria for the benefits of the scheme.
Only women who fulfill these eligibility criteria get the benefit of the scheme. But recently there has been news of fraud in it. Actually, many duplicate applications are being made in the name of many women in the scheme. 94 applications have been made from one bank account to avail the benefits of the scheme.
The investigation of these duplicate applications has been started by the department. Let us tell you that 11,200 duplicate applications have been received in Bokaro alone. The government is cancelling the duplicate applications. Apart from this, the government is getting the physical verification of the women taking benefit in the scheme done again.
So that which women have given duplicate applications in the scheme. This thing can be found out. If duplicate applications have been made using your bank account. Then your name can also be removed from the beneficiary list of the scheme.
Let us tell you that lakhs of women of the state are waiting for the next installment of the scheme. The government may soon send the money of the next installment to the accounts of the beneficiary women. Applicants who submit duplicate applications will not get the benefit of this installment.
