Mumbai, March 20: The Maharashtra State Department of Women and Child Development has announced a final extension for beneficiaries of the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana to correct errors in their e-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) profiles. Beneficiaries who have encountered issues with their monthly disbursements of INR 1,500 due to technical discrepancies now have until March 31 to rectify their information. This move follows reports of eligible women missing out on payments because of incorrect data entries regarding employment status, pension details, or bank linking.

State Minister Aditi Tatkare emphasised that this is a "one-time opportunity" to ensure that the direct benefit transfer (DBT) mechanism remains uninterrupted. The government has also mobilised district-level officials and Anganwadi workers to assist with physical verification for those unable to navigate the digital portal.Ā Ladki Bahin Yojana E-KYC Correction Window Closes on March 31.

Ladki Bahin Yojana eKYC Process Will Continue Until March 31, Says Aditi Tatkare

Step-by-Step Guide for Ladki Bahin Yoajana e-KYC Correction

The correction process is primarily digital and must be completed through the official scheme portal. Applicants should ensure they have their Aadhaar-linked mobile phone ready for OTP verification.

  • Visit the Official Portal: Navigate to ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in.

  • Log In: Use your registered mobile number and password under the "Applicant Login" section.

  • Access e-KYC Update: Locate the "e-KYC Correction" or "Update Profile" link prominently displayed on the dashboard.

  • Verify Information: Carefully review your Name, Aadhaar Number, and Bank Account details. Correct any errors in the eligibility checkboxes (e.g., ensuring "Government Employee" or "Income Taxpayer" options are correctly selected).

  • OTP Authentication: Enter the Aadhaar-based OTP sent to your registered mobile number to confirm the changes.

  • Submit and Track: After submission, your status should reflect as "Under Review" or "Completed."

Common Errors To Fix To Receive Ladki Bahin Yojana Payment

Many applications were stalled due to specific data entry mistakes. Beneficiaries are encouraged to check the following:

  • Incorrect Bank Details: Ensure the bank account is active, in the applicant's name only (no joint accounts), and seeded with Aadhaar.

  • Wrong Eligibility Options: Some users accidentally selected "Yes" for family members having government jobs or being taxpayers, which leads to automatic disqualification.

  • Missing Documents: If a husband or father is deceased, verify that the death certificate information is correctly updated in the relief section to bypass certain UAID requirements.

If your application remains "Pending" despite online corrections, you may visit the nearest Setu Suvidha Kendra or the District Women and Child Development office for manual intervention. Officials have warned that failing to complete the e-KYC correction by the March 31 deadline could result in permanent removal from the beneficiary list, as the government seeks to purge duplicate and ineligible entries from the system.Ā Ladki Bahin Yojana Good News: Maharashtra Women Beneficiaries May Receive Combined INR 3,000 February and March Installments Together.
