Maha looks at tweaks in Ladki Bahin amid fiscal challenges
Hindustan Times
|November 25, 2024
A day after the Mahayuti's landslide win in the Maharashtra assembly election, propelled by the Ladki Bahin Yojana, bureaucrats are looking to renegotiate the scheme's fine print.
The scheme, which will cost the exchequer ₹33,300 crore from July 2024 to March 2025, is widely believed to have drawn an additional number of women voters, displayed in the narrow margin of male-female vote ratio—from 3.51% in 2019 to 1.62% in 2024. Launched in July this year, it gave economically backward women between ages 18 and 65 ₹1,500 per month, and seeing its popularity since its launch, the Mahayuti in its manifesto promised to up it to ₹2,100.
However, now that the heat and dust of the election has settled and the serious business of governance starts anew, bureaucrats realize that the ₹2,100 promise may be fiscally untenable.
