Table of Contents

1. Informational Use Only – No Government Affiliation

This website is an independent educational blog. We are NOT a government entity and are not affiliated with any Maharashtra state or central government authority.

All content on this site – including guides, explanations, checklists, and FAQs – is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not legal advice, official instruction, or a substitute for consulting official government sources.

You agree to use this website solely for personal, non-commercial informational purposes. You may not rely on our content as the final authority for any government scheme, including the Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana or the eKYC process.

2. No Warranties (As-Is & As-Available)

Your use of the Website is at your sole risk. The content is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied.

We do not warrant that:

The information is complete, accurate, current, or error‑free.
The Website will be uninterrupted, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components.
Any errors will be corrected.

Government schemes, document requirements, and eKYC procedures change frequently. While we strive to keep our content up‑to‑date, you must independently verify all critical information from official government sources, such as:

The official Maharashtra government scheme portal
Your local Common Service Centre (CSC)
Official gazette notifications or helpline numbers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non‑infringement, and title.

3. Important Warning: You Must Verify with Official Sources

The Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana and eKYC processes are governed by government rules that can change without prior notice. Do not take any action (such as submitting documents or visiting a centre) solely based on our articles.

We strongly recommend that you:

Read the official scheme brochure or notification.
Call the government helpline (if provided).
Visit an authorised Common Service Centre (CSC) or government office.

We are not responsible if you miss a deadline, submit incorrect documents, or face any other issue because you relied on our content instead of official sources.

You may not:

Copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, or republish any of our content without prior written permission.
Scrape our content for use on another website or for any commercial purpose.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by law (which, for informational websites, is typically ₹0 or the minimal amount allowed).

9. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or operational needs. The most current version will always be posted on this page with a new “Last Updated” date.

We are an independent help blog – not the government.
You are responsible for checking official sources before acting on our information.
We do not guarantee that our content is error‑free, and we are not liable for any issues you may face.
Please use common sense, verify with government offices, and do not share your Aadhaar or bank details with any website that is not an official .gov.in domain.

Thank you for understanding. We truly want to help – but your safety and legal compliance are ultimately in your own hands.
