Review of Gruha Lakshmi beneficiaries under way; process will not affect genuine recipients, says Chandrabhoopal
The Karnataka government is re-verifying beneficiaries of the Gruha Lakshmi scheme using biometric and facial authentication. Officials aim to remove ineligible recipients, such as those who are deceased or tax-paying, while ensuring genuine beneficiaries continue to receive support.
Why it matters
