Women knowing about a government scheme but not receiving benefit shows which gap?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Gap between information and actual access
The correct answer is the gap between information and actual access. Knowing about a scheme alone does not ensure that a woman can receive its benefit; application procedures, documents, bank access, digital facilities, travel, and support may still be barriers. The eligibility-benefit gap is closer when an eligible person is denied a benefit, but this question specifically highlights lack of real access despite awareness. Exam tip: Link “knows about the scheme but does not receive it” with an access gap.
