What does this status mean?
Meaningful delivery has occurred, but the stated commitment is incomplete.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.
Original manifesto wording
“Enable 50 lakh women in Maharashtra to become Lakhpati Didis by 2027.”

Our Assessment
A July 2026 Lok Sabha reply records 49.67 lakh Lakhpati Didis in Maharashtra as of 31 March—99.3% of the 50-lakh target. The target is not yet confirmed as reached. This cumulative programme count includes women qualifying before the election.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why partially done?
The dated official annexure records 49,66,617 against 50,00,000, leaving a reported gap of 33,383. It does not establish completion of the target.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why medium confidence?
The exact dated figure is verified in Annexure III of the original parliamentary answer. The answer's narrative separately rounds the verified count to 49.62 lakh; older state figures use earlier dates. These are administrative income-validation records, not an independent income audit.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- A newer dated, validated Maharashtra count reaching at least 50 lakh, with income sustainability, duplicate controls and consistent definitions.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
