- Nearly 80,000 applications under Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana cancelled during a verification drive.
- Registration for new beneficiaries has been stopped since September last year, causing uncertainty for women who depend on financial support.
- Women’s groups are asking for clarity and want the registration portal to reopen so everyone can have fair access to the aid.
Maharashtra’s Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana is started to help women with a monthly financial aid of Rs 1,500. Unfortunately, the sudden cancellation of around 80,000 applications and the stoppage of new registrations has raised serious concerns. This affects many women who rely on the scheme for their monthly support.
How the Registration Stoppage Affects Beneficiaries
With no new registrations allowed since September last year, no new applicants can get the monthly financial aid. Current beneficiaries are worried about whether the scheme can continue and fear more disruptions. Women from rural and poor backgrounds, who saw this help as very important, now feel uncertain. Many families who depended on this aid for everyday expenses are feeling the impact as payments have stopped or might soon decrease.
Why Applications Were Cancelled and Verified
Government officials started a strict verification process after reports of misuse and some ineligible women applying for the scheme. This led to nearly 80,000 applications being cancelled. Some women chose to withdraw their applications voluntarily, while others were removed following orders from higher authorities. These steps were taken to make sure only eligible and genuine beneficiaries get the financial help.
Response from Beneficiaries and Their Concerns
Many women who were affected and local women’s groups are speaking up for better clarity and fairness. They want transparency about how the cancellations happened and are asking for the registration to open again so those who missed the first chance can apply. The delays or stoppages have caused hardship, especially in families with only one income and in rural areas where this monthly help was crucial for managing household budgets.

What Women Should Keep in Mind During This Uncertain Time
At the moment, there’s no official word on when new registrations will start again. Women waiting for aid or wanting to apply should regularly check the Maharashtra Government’s official website for updates. If you think your application was wrongly cancelled, try contacting local government offices to ask about appeals or re-verification. Activist groups also suggest staying involved with community forums to get the latest news and support.
