Grihalakshmi Yojana: A Brief Introduction g 7

‘Grihalakshmi’ is a very popular guarantee scheme implemented by the Karnataka government with the aim of women empowerment and reducing the financial burden of the family. Under this scheme, the housewife gets a monthly guarantee of Rs.$2,000$The rupees will be deposited directly into their bank accounts (DBT – Direct Benefit Transfer). Crores of women in the state are availing this facility.

However, over the past few months, due to technical glitches, e-KYC issues and discrepancies in the bank account linking process, some beneficiaries have not received the money. Capitalizing on this, some rumours are spreading misinformation saying that “everyone has to apply again from scratch”.

Is re-application mandatory? True or False

Clarification: The government has not made it mandatory for all beneficiaries to submit a “Fresh or Re-application”. Those who are already successfully receiving money or who have applied without any problems do not need to apply again.

So, where did the term “re-application or update of details” come from? The government has only allowed correction/update of applications that have been held up or rejected for certain reasons. This is being misinterpreted as “re-application”.

Who is required to update their details?

Only women facing the issues listed below need to update their documents and employer details:

• Aadhaar not linked to bank account (e-KYC Fail): If your Aadhaar card is not linked to your bank account or if NPCI (National Payments Corporation of India) mapping is not done, the money will not arrive.

• If the head of the house has died: If the previous head of the house has died, the old records must be updated to replace another eligible female member of the family (such as a daughter-in-law or daughter-in-law) as the new head of the house.

• Ration Card Change: If the name of the owner on the ration card has changed or a new ration card has been received, the details should be updated.

• Rejected Applications: If applications are rejected due to technical reasons or incorrect information, they must be re-verified with the correct documents.

Update process of old documents and owner details

If your account is not receiving funds and you need to update your details, here is what old and new documents you should have ready:
