In August, Tatkare said the government was scrutinising the accounts of over 12,000 men who allegedly availed of the benefits under the Mukhyamantri Mazhi Ladki Bahin Yojana. "We are scrutinising the 12,000 accounts to verify their authenticity and to check whether the monthly assistance meant for women is being credited to a male member of the household," she told reporters in Mumbai.

Tatkare said it was found that some beneficiaries were availing of multiple schemes, some families had more than two beneficiaries, and in some cases, men had applied for the scheme.
