"The government is releasing funds for new schemes like Ladki Bahin, but retired employees are still waiting for their gratuity and other emoluments," said Sharad Bhandarkar, state secretary of the organisation.
He questioned the priorities of the administration, stating, "When we speak to ZP authorities, they cite a fund crunch. Does this mean funds are available for new schemes like Ladki Bahin, but not for those who served the system for decades and now depend on pensions for survival?"
Bhandarkar further pointed out that even the courts have ruled that all post-retirement benefits must be disbursed within one month of an employee's retirement.

Bawankule meets sulking Shirsat amid funds diversion controversy
Mumbai: Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule on Wednesday called on social justice minister Sanjay Shirsat to pacify him after the Shiv Sena leader expressed unhappiness over the diversion of funds from his department towards the populist Majhi Ladki Bahin scheme, according to people aware of the developments. Bawankule and Shirsat, however, insisted that they met to discuss a project in Kamathi, Nagpur. Bawankule visited Shirsat's official bungalow in Mumbai on Wednesday morning, according to people in the know. Shirsat, a Dalit leader, had earlier accused the Ajit Pawar-led state finance department of high-handedness for diverting funds from his department, meant for the welfare of the Scheduled Castes and other underprivileged sections of society, towards the Ladki Bahin scheme without his knowledge. He is also unhappy about corruption charges levelled against him, as he believes the information is being provided to the Opposition from within the government to defame him. Against this backdrop, Bawankule's visit to Shirsat's residence assumes significance and is being seen as an attempt to ensure cordial relations between the BJP and Shiv Sena. The state BJP chief, however, said that the meeting was to seek the social justice department's contribution for the makeover of Dragon Palace, a Buddhist temple in Kamathi, Nagpur. Bawankule said the state government has allocated ₹214 crore for the makeover, and the ground-breaking ceremony for the work will soon take place. 'I had come to meet the social justice minister to seek his cooperation,' he said. Shirsat also said that he and Bawankule did not discuss any political matter. 'I had been inviting him to my house for a cup of tea as we share friendly relations. I have assured him full support for the makeover of Dragon Palace,' he said. Shirsat claimed he was not upset over the diversion of funds from his department, adding that he discussed the issue with finance minister Ajit Pawar during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Bawankule said that the Mahayuti government cannot even think of diverting funds meant for Scheduled Castes or Scheduled Tribes. According to the BJP insiders, the renovation of Dragon Palace is important for the party as it was trailing in the Assembly polls in Kamathi city by 17,000 votes. Bawankule represents the Kamathi constituency and is pushing the renovation project ahead of the upcoming local body polls. 'Kamathi city, where the project is located, is dominated by Dalit votes, and the visit to the residence of Shirsat, who is a Dalit leader, has political symbolism,' the leader said.

Ladki Bahin scheme: BJP's Bawankule refutes charges of illegal fund diversion
Maharashtra minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule on Wednesday rubbished claims that the state government diverted funds from other departments for the Ladki Bahin scheme , asserting that the Devendra Fadnavis-led dispensation was committed to safeguarding the vulnerable sections of society. In the recent past, state Social Justice Minister Sanjay Shirsat accused the Ajit Pawar-led Finance Department of high-handedness in what he termed as illegal diversion of funds from his department without his knowledge. Acknowledging that the state was facing financial constraints due to the women-centric welfare scheme launched last year ahead of the assembly polls, the Shiv Sena minister had said the state government should better "shut" the Social Justice Department instead of periodic diversion of the allocated funds. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Don't Forget To Block Ads Before Wednesday Lifestyle Tech Tips Click Here Undo Also Read: After Ladki Bahin scheme, Maharashtra hikes liquor duties to ease cash crunch Under the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana, the Mahayuti government's flagship scheme launched in August 2024, a monthly assistance of Rs 1,500 is given to eligible women in the state. The scheme's estimated annual outlay is more than Rs 40,000 crore. Live Events Responding to a question related to Shirsat's allegations, Bawankule, who is also the state chief of the ruling BJP , said, "There is a legal provision which ensures that funds earmarked for departments like Social Justice and Tribal Development, cannot be diverted for any other purpose." "These funds are reserved and the government has no power to override those provisions. At times, there could be delays in disbursement of funds, but that should not be misconstrued as diversion," he added. He asserted that the Fadnavis government was committed to safeguarding the budgetary allocations made for the vulnerable sections of society. "This administration will never interfere with or misappropriate funds allocated to the Social Justice and Tribal Development departments," he said. Shirsat had claimed on May 2 that funds of more than Rs 413 crore were reallocated from the Social Justice Department to finance the Ladki Bahin scheme. He also alleged that an additional Rs 335 crore had been diverted from the Tribal Development Department in a similar way. Claiming that these reallocations were done unilaterally and in violation of constitutional safeguards, he had also said that if the government does not need the Social Justice Department, it might as well dissolve it entirely rather than continuing to undermine its financial capacity. Days later, he again said such diversions would cripple operations of his department and erode public trust in the welfare programmes meant for underprivileged groups. The issue brought to the fore the internal friction within the Mahayuti alliance, comprising the BJP, Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar's NCP. Responding to the accusations, Ajit Pawar had earlier downplayed the matter and suggested that such disagreements should have been addressed within cabinet meetings rather than in public. CM Fadnavis had also clarified that no funds were diverted from other departments for the Ladki Bahin scheme, and said those who do not understand the budget were making unsubstantiated claims. "The charges (of fund diversion for the Ladki Bahin Yojana) are wrong. Only those who don't understand the budget can make such a charge. Rules say funds should be reserved for SCs/STs. Maximum funds should be reserved for personal benefit schemes and some for infrastructure development," the CM said in the last week of May. "Ladki Bahin Yojana falls under the category of giving personal benefit to beneficiaries. So, if you give money to this scheme, then as per budgetary rules, it has to be shown under the Tribal Affairs Department and the Social Justice Department," he said.

Maharashtra: Country, imported premium liquor prices to soar as cabinet approves excise duty hike on IMFL
On Tuesday, the Maharashtra cabinet approved several revenue-enhancing measures in the excise department, including an increase in liquor duty. The state excise duty on Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL) soared by more than 50%, leading to a significant rise in retail prices by over 60%. It has also hiked the duty on country liquor and imported premium liquor, which will increase their retail prices by 14% and over 25% respectively, HT reported. However, the excise duty on beer and wine has not risen as the retail price of beer, which has a lesser percentage of alcohol in comparison to hard liquor, is among the highest in the country, officials said. When it comes to wine, the state follows a policy of promotion, as Maharashtra is home to a large portion of the country's wineries and a significant number of grape-supplying farmers are based in the region, the report stated. The government anticipates that the substantial hike will boost its revenue to ₹ 57,000 crore, an increase of ₹ 14,000 crore from the ₹ 43,620 crore collected in FY 2024-25. It expects this to contribute 10% of the projected ₹ 5.60 lakh crore in total revenue receipts for the 2025-26 financial year. In an effort to generate revenue to support the strained exchequer and fund populist schemes like Ladki Bahin, along with benefits for farmers and other communities, the Mahayuti government formed a committee in January, led by then Additional Chief Secretary Valsa Nair, to suggest ways to boost liquor revenue. The committee submitted its report in April, and the state cabinet approved its recommendations on Tuesday, the report added. Following the committee's recommendations, IMFL will now be subject to an excise duty that is 4.5 times the manufacturing cost, up from the current rate of three times. An IMFL official told HT, 'This will vary based on the manufacturing price but could lead to a huge hike of over 60% in retail prices.' Currently priced between ₹ 120 and ₹ 150 for 180 ml, the cost of IMFL will now rise to a minimum of ₹ 205. Premium brands, which currently range from ₹ 210 to ₹ 330 for 180 ml, will now start at ₹ 360. Meanwhile, the price of a 180-ml bottle of country liquor has increased from ₹ 70 to ₹ 80. The government has introduced a new category called Maharashtra-made liquor (MML), which will be exempt from the duty hike. Made from grains, MML will be priced at a minimum of ₹ 148 for 180 ml, a rate deliberately set within the current IMFL price range to help MML compete with and capture a share of the IMFL market. The excise duty hike on IMFL brands is the first in 14 years. Officials noted that, despite the increase, the duty remains lower than in neighbouring states such as Madhya Pradesh and Telangana. Another official pointed out that the duty increase on country liquor was kept minimal to prevent a shift towards illicit alcohol, as a sharper rise in price could drive such consumption. "It is also because the last hike was done in 2022,' he stated. "Maharashtra was the most highly taxed state in the country in terms of this industry. The new decision is likely to make the situation worse. High prices in a particular state leads to the smuggling of alcohol from less taxed states or from neighbouring states. At the look of it, I think this decision is far from ground reality and not a good decision,' Indian Express quoted Pramod Krishna, former Director General, Confederation of Indian Alcoholic Beverage, as saying.
