Over 1.60 lakh women, whose families own four-wheelers, have been excluded from the benefits of the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana. The information was shared by Aditi Tatkare, state minister for women and child development, via X, formerly known as Twitter, on Friday.

The actual number of beneficiaries of the scheme is pegged to be 2.461 crore women. But, after scrutinising, the beneficiaries has dropped to 2.41 crore, a reduction of approximately five lakh women, who don’t meet the eligibility.
