Mumbai, March 16: The Maharashtra state government has announced a final extension for the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana e-KYC process, providing relief to lakhs of women who have faced payment delays due to application errors. Beneficiaries who have not yet completed their authentication or those who selected incorrect options during the initial process now have until March 31 to rectify their details and secure their monthly financial assistance.

Ladki Bahin Yojana's New Deadline and Eligibility for Corrections

While the original deadline for e-KYC was December 31, 2025, the new window acts as a "second chance" for correction. This facility is primarily aimed at beneficiaries whose payments are currently on "Hold" or "Temporary Pause" due to discrepancies. According to government data, of the 1.12 crore applications submitted for Aadhaar authentication, approximately 6 lakh still require rectification. The portal now features a specific pop-up clarifying that the edit facility is strictly for those who made selection errors - such as mistakenly marking themselves as government employees or taxpayers.

Common Errors Delaying Ladki Bahin Yojana's Payments

Officials have identified the most frequent mistakes that lead to disqualification or paused instalments:

• Income/Employment Status: Incorrectly selecting "Yes" for family members in government service or income tax brackets.
• Aadhaar-Mobile Link: Using a mobile number that is not linked to the beneficiary's Aadhaar card.
• Bank Seeding: Failure to link the bank account with NPCI (National Payments Corporation of India), which is mandatory for Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
• Name Mismatch: Significant differences between the name on the ration card and the Aadhaar card.
