Under the scheme, eligible women receive INR 1,500 every month through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).

Ladki Bahin Yojana Installment Date

Beneficiaries are likely to receive the pending INR 1,500 installment during the period from June 12 to June 15. The Maharashtra Government has already sanctioned funds and transferred them to the Women and Child Development Department for further processing.

Women enrolled in the scheme are advised to regularly check their bank account status and DBT notifications during this period.

DBT Transfer Through Aadhaar-Linked Bank Accounts

The Ladki Bahin Yojana amount is transferred directly into the beneficiary's Aadhaar-linked bank account through the DBT system. To avoid payment failures, beneficiaries should ensure that their Aadhaar details are correctly linked with their bank account and that the account remains active. Ladki Bahin Yojana: No Beneficiary Application Rejected, Clarifies Maharashtra Minister Aditi Tatkare.

eKYC Mandatory for Receiving Installments

The state government recently completed a large-scale verification drive to identify eligible beneficiaries. Women whose eKYC remains incomplete may face delays or difficulties in receiving the installment amount.

Beneficiaries are therefore advised to complete their eKYC process as soon as possible and verify all personal details linked to their application.

Why Has the Beneficiary Count Reduced?

Following eligibility checks and mandatory eKYC verification, nearly 80 lakh names were reportedly removed from the beneficiary database. As a result, the active beneficiary count has been reduced to around 1.66 crore women.
