The Maharashtra government has taken an unprecedented step of providing monthly financial assistance to economically vulnerable women under this scheme, but now a strict rule has been implemented regarding e-KYC. If you haven’t completed e-KYC, you won’t receive the next installment. Learn what you need to do before the deadline to continue receiving your ₹1,500 monthly assistance without interruption.
e-KYC Deadline
Maharashtra Women and Child Development Minister Aditi Tatkare has urged all beneficiaries of the Majhi Ladki Behen Yojana to complete their e-KYC as soon as possible. She strongly urged all women through the social media platform X to complete this process before November 18th. If e-KYC is not completed by this date, their ₹1,500 installment will be withheld.
The Maharashtra government made e-KYC mandatory for this scheme in September, and beneficiaries were given two months to complete the process. A government resolution was also issued in this regard.
₹1,500 installment to start arriving tomorrow
The minister also announced the good news that the October stipend will begin being distributed on Wednesday. This amount will be directly deposited into the Aadhaar-linked bank accounts of all eligible female beneficiaries. This means that the ₹1,500 assistance will begin arriving in beneficiaries’ bank accounts from November 5th.
Easy way to complete e-KYC
To safeguard your monthly assistance, completing e-KYC is now mandatory. This process can be easily completed from the comfort of your home:
First, you need to visit the website ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in.
Next, click on the “eKYC” option on the homepage.
Enter your Aadhaar number in the e-KYC form and fill in the captcha code. Then, tick the “Yes, I agree” checkbox and click the “Send OTP” button.
An OTP will be sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number. Enter that OTP and submit.
The system will now check if your KYC is already complete.
If KYC is already complete, the message “eKYC already completed” will appear on the screen.
If KYC is not complete, the system will check if your Aadhaar number is on the list for the scheme.
If it is on the list, the next step will open, and you can proceed.
Scheme Launch and Eligibility
This scheme was launched by the state government in July last year to economically empower women. Under this scheme, women aged 21 to 65 in the state are provided financial assistance of ₹1,500 per month. However, the beneficiary’s annual income must be less than ₹2.5 lakh.
