In yet another revelation of fraud in the Maiyan Samman Yojana, this time linked to Ranchi, as many as 95 applications were submitted using the same bank account to claim benefits under the scheme.

During the investigation, it was found that the bank account of an individual was repeatedly used 95 times. This fraud came to light when the Social Security Department, acting on the instructions of Bokaro Deputy Commissioner Vijaya Jadhav, conducted a physical verification of the beneficiaries.

In a fresh case of fraud under the Maiyan Samman Yojana, 95 applications were submitted using a single bank account belonging to a resident of West Bengal. These applications were made under different names and from multiple blocks in Bokaro district.

Out of the total, 67 applications came from Chas Block, while 28 were from Gomia Block. To make the fake entries appear legitimate, surnames of tribal communities such as Kisku, Hansda, and Murmu were falsely used. Additionally, the ration cards submitted with these applications were found to be fake. Shockingly, these fraudulent applications were even approved at the BDO/CO level.

Following the exposure of the scam, payments to these fraudulent beneficiaries have been halted, and an order to file an FIR has been issued.

“There are over 11,000 applications based on fake ration cards in Bokaro, which are still under investigation. Once the probe is complete, I have directed that an FIR be filed against the bank account holder and the CSC operator responsible for submitting these fraudulent applications using fake names,” said Bokaro Deputy Commissioner Vijaya Jadhav.

The fraudulent use of a single bank account for multiple Maiyan Samman Yojana applications has revealed a deeper nexus of financial misappropriation. Bokaro Deputy Commissioner Vijaya Jadhav stated that several cases are under investigation where one bank account was linked to 95, 78, and 68 applicants.

Shockingly, accounts were opened in West Bengal, entries were made in Palamu, and the money was funneled into Bokaro. During the probe, it was discovered that all applications were processed using CSC VLE Sumit Kumar’s ID (542316220013) from Medininagar, Palamu. The fraud involved IndusInd Bank account number 100253387047, registered at Patagoda, Barakhanti in North Dinajpur, West Bengal.

More than 60 fraudulent applications were filed on a single day—November 21, 2024. In total, 11,200 duplicate applications have been identified in Bokaro district alone. Physical verification is now being conducted by Anganwadi workers to identify fake applicants. Strict action will be taken against those involved in this massive fraud, ensuring accountability at all levels.

The large-scale fraud in the Maiyan Samman Yojana continues to unfold, with irregularities emerging across multiple districts. In Bokaro, where there are a total of 3.61 lakh beneficiaries, financial aid has been transferred to 3.50 lakh accounts. However, 10,200 applicants were found ineligible due to duplicate applications, mismatched Aadhaar-bank details, and other discrepancies. These cases are now under investigation.

Further irregularities were uncovered in Kasmar Block, where two computer operators fraudulently received benefits in their own bank accounts. An FIR has already been lodged against one of them. In Garhwa, the IDs of three CSC operators were canceled after they were found linking the bank accounts of friends and relatives to fraudulent applications, siphoning off government funds.

Authorities are intensifying investigations, ensuring that those involved in the misuse of public welfare schemes face strict legal action.
