A person from West Bengal was found to have submitted as many as 94 applications for Jharkhand government’s Mukhyamantri Maiya Samman Yojana (JMMSY) from different locations using one bank account to hoodwink authorities, officials said on Friday.
JMMSY is a flagship scheme of the Jharkhand government under which the State government provides financial assistance of Rs 2,500 per month to about 56 lakh women in the age group of 18-50 years. The JMMSY has been widely credited for bolstering the INDIA bloc’s electoral success in Jharkhand.
