'Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana': State Cyber Department Warns Applicants Of Fraud; Check Details
The Maharashtra government on June 28 approved the launch of the 'Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Y' scheme for the economic independence of women in the state.
The Maharashtra Cyber Department has appealed to women who have applied for Ladki Bahin Yojana to remain alert as cyber crooks may try to dupe them.
“Some people may call you on the pretext of document verification or first instalment deposit in the name of the scheme. In that call, the person may ask you for OTP or send a link and ask you to click on it. If you click on that link or give the OTP, your phone may get hacked, which may lead to emptying your bank account. Do not give OTP to any unauthorised person and do not click on unknown links. Get information only from official and reliable sources. Warn your parents about this scam, so that they do not fall prey to such scams,” the alert from Maharashtra Cyber Department stated.
The Maharashtra government on June 28 approved the launch of the 'Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Y' scheme for the economic independence of women in the state. Under the scheme, Rs1,500 is transferred into the bank accounts of eligible women in the age group of 21 to 65 years whose annual family income is less than Rs 2.5 lakh.
The money will be credited into the Aadhaar-linked bank account via direct benefit transfer (DBT). The deadline for submitting applications on the online or offline platform is August 31. Following the scheme's announcement, it has received enthusiastic support from women, with over 1.62 crore registrations recorded as of August 14.
