Ladki Bahin Yojana: New List & e-KYC Update

The Maharashtra government's Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana is back in the spotlight, with lakhs of women waiting on their monthly instalment while several beneficiaries find their payments held up over incomplete e-KYC. Launched in July 2024 by the Women and Child Development Department, Government of Maharashtra, the scheme transfers ₹1,500 every month directly into eligible women's Aadhaar-linked bank accounts through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).

The scale of the scheme is significant — by early 2026, around 1.75 crore women were active beneficiaries, and the state government has earmarked ₹26,000 crore for it in the 2026–27 budget. But over the past few months, the mandatory e-KYC requirement has led to a large number of accounts being put on hold, leaving many women's instalments stuck midway.

August 2026 Instalment: Where Things Stand Right Now

The state government has not yet announced an official date for the August 2026 instalment. Going by the pattern seen in previous months, payments have generally been released between the 15th and 20th of each month, though delays tied to e-KYC verification and bank account seeding have been reported repeatedly. Beneficiaries whose earlier instalments were held up due to incomplete e-KYC have, in several reports, received combined amounts of ₹3,000 or ₹4,500 (covering two or three months at once) once their verification cleared. It's worth being clear that this is based on portal updates and local reporting — check the official portal for confirmation before relying on it.

Important note: If your e-KYC is still pending, your next instalment could be delayed or stopped altogether. Log in to the portal and check your status as soon as possible.

Eligibility for the Scheme

Why e-KYC Matters So Much

During this year's verification drive, reports indicated that roughly 68–70 lakh beneficiary accounts were placed on hold, either because e-KYC was incomplete or eligibility checks flagged an issue. Without completed e-KYC, DBT payments cannot reach a beneficiary's account, even if the application was approved earlier. That's why the government has repeatedly urged beneficiaries to finish their verification without delay.

How to Complete Ladki Bahin Yojana e-KYC Online (Step-by-Step Guide)

1. Go to the official portal at ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in/ekyc.

2. Click "Applicant Login" and enter your registered mobile number.

3. Enter the OTP sent to your phone to log in.

4. On the dashboard, select the "e-KYC" or "KYC Verification" option.

5. Enter your Aadhaar number and complete verification using the Aadhaar-linked OTP.

6. Upload a recent photograph if required, for face-match verification.

7. Review all details, submit, and save a screenshot of the confirmation for your records.

Using the Nari Shakti Doot App for e-KYC

Women with a smartphone can also complete e-KYC from home through the Nari Shakti Doot app.

• Download only the official "Nari Shakti Doot" app published by the Maharashtra government on the Play Store, to avoid fake apps.
• Open the app and log in using your registered mobile number or application ID.
• If you registered through an Anganwadi worker or a CSC, use the reference number given to you at that time.
• Go to the e-KYC section on the dashboard and complete Aadhaar verification and face-match.

The app's interface is available in both Marathi and Hindi, making it easier for women in rural areas to use.

How to Fix a Rejected Application

If an application was rejected due to incorrect information, missing documents, or a bank account not linked to Aadhaar, there's no need to reapply from scratch. Here's how to correct it:

• Log in to the portal and check your application "Status" to see the reason for rejection.
• If your bank account isn't Aadhaar-linked, visit your bank branch first to complete Aadhaar seeding and NPCI mapping.
• Re-upload the correct or missing documents on the portal and resubmit the application.
• Corrections can also be made at your nearest Anganwadi centre, Setu Suvidha Kendra, or Gram Panchayat office.
• Note down the new application reference number after correction so you can track the status going forward.

What This Means for Women

For families with limited monthly income, the ₹1,500 provides direct support for household expenses, children's education, or health needs. But recurring e-KYC hurdles and delayed payments have understandably become a source of worry for many beneficiaries. Completing verification on time remains the most reliable way to keep instalments coming without interruption.

Key Takeaways

• No official date has been announced yet for the August 2026 instalment.
• Incomplete e-KYC can stop DBT payments from going through.
• e-KYC can be completed either through the portal or the Nari Shakti Doot app.
• Rejected applications can be corrected and resubmitted rather than reapplying from scratch.

Conclusion

Completing e-KYC is the single most important step to keep Ladki Bahin Yojana's monthly support flowing without interruption. If your instalment is stuck, start by checking your status on the portal or the Nari Shakti Doot app, and begin the correction process right away if needed. Keeping an eye on ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in remains the safest way to stay updated on

official dates and announcements.
