5.46 Lakh Ineligible Beneficiaries Found Under Maiyan Samman Yojana, Names to Be Removed
Jharkhandβs Maiyan Samman Yojana, designed to support women financially, has entered a clean-up phase. Out of 56.61 lakh registered beneficiaries, 5.46 lakh were found ineligible through physical verification and Aadhaar seeding. This audit revealed that many of the listed beneficiaries did not meet the core eligibility requirements, such as possessing a ration card or linking their bank accounts with Aadhaar. As of now, the government has begun removing these names from the official records to ensure only genuine beneficiaries receive aid.
β Why Were So Many Beneficiaries Found Ineligible?
-
The scheme is intended only for women with a valid ration card and no other source of income.
-
A physical audit of 12.76 lakh beneficiaries was conducted.
-
Of these, 43.85 lakh were found eligible; 5.46 lakh were not.
-
Aadhaar-based linking exposed duplicate or incorrect entries.
-
Only those with valid Aadhaar-linked bank accounts will now be eligible.
This clean-up process aims to prevent misuse and ensure transparency in public welfare delivery.
π’ District-Level Aadhaar Verification Drive
Verification efforts intensified in April and May through special district-level camps:
-
Around 51 lakh beneficiaries were called for Aadhaar authentication.
-
37.55 lakh had their bank accounts linked with Aadhaar.
-
The state decided to move ahead with disbursing benefits only to verified individuals.
Field teams, local officials, and tech systems were deployed across districts to ensure an error-free linkage process.
βοΈ New Applications, But With Stricter Rules
While eliminating ineligible entries, the state is also accepting new applications, but under tight scrutiny:
-
Eligibility verification is mandatory before approval.
-
Aadhaar, ration card, and bank account linking are compulsory.
-
Providing false information may result in penalties.
These checks will prevent leakage and ensure that funds reach only the truly deserving.
