Every year, the Indian government launches hundreds of subsidies тАФ but nearly тВ╣4000 crore worth of benefits go unclaimed due to lack of awareness, missed paperwork, or inactive bank links.

Yes тАФ these can still be claimed with the right process.
ЁЯФН Why Subsidies Remain Unclaimed:
Mobile not linked to bank account

People unaware their scheme was auto-approved
No portal tracking or claim filed
