Every year, the Indian government launches hundreds of subsidies โ but nearly โน4000 crore worth of benefits go unclaimed due to lack of awareness, missed paperwork, or inactive bank links.
What if I told you you may still be eligible for schemes from 2โ3 years ago?
Yes โ these can still be claimed with the right process.
๐ Why Subsidies Remain Unclaimed:
Mobile not linked to bank account
e-KYC not updated
District officer delay
People unaware their scheme was auto-approved
No portal tracking or claim filed
โ
