He said the government will not tolerate such misconduct and the employees will face disciplinary action and suspension as it is committed to the implementation of the scheme to help eligible women across the state. These women will get Rs 1,500 per month which will amount to Rs 18,000 annually.
Shinde's warning came in the wake of complaints from MLAs, especially the opposition.
''I have already instructed the district collectors that the scheme should be implemented in a hassle-free manner. The administration should take appropriate steps for its effective implementation and women should not face any inconvenience and harassment. "The government will take strict action against employees who are negligent and demand money," he said.
The issue also came up for discussion in the Assembly when Excise Minister Shambhuraj Desai said the CM has already announced that the government will take strict action against those demanding money from women enrolled under the scheme. He told the House that an officer has already been suspended in one case.
The CM's announcement came after the government announced to extend the deadline for submission of applications by eligible women under the Mukhyamantri Ladli Bahin Yojana till August 31 following the presence of women in large numbers in the district offices. The government has announced to increase the age limit for eligible women from 60 years to 65 years.
