Ladki Bahin Yojana Status & Next Installment 2026

Reviewed on: 2026-06-19.

Savita kept her phone screen on all morning, opening the portal every hour to see whether the green “Payment Status” tag had appeared. Like lakhs of women across Maharashtra, she depends on that Rs 1,500 reaching her account on time. Waiting feels longer when you do not know what day it will arrive.

If you are in the same position, here is exactly what you need to do.

Follow these steps on ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in:

1. Open your browser and go to ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in.
2. Click “अर्जदार लॉगिन” (Applicant Login) on the homepage.
3. Enter your registered mobile number in the field provided.
4. Complete the captcha verification shown on screen.
5. Click “OTP पाठवा” (Send OTP) and enter the one-time password sent to your registered mobile.
6. Once logged in, click “Applications Made Earlier” on your dashboard.
7. Select your application from the list.
8. Your application status, eKYC status, and payment history (all previous installments) appear on screen.

What you need before you start:

• Mobile number you registered with your application
• Access to that mobile to receive the OTP

Alternative - Nari Shakti Doot App: Download the Nari Shakti Doot app from Google Play, log in with your registered mobile number, and check your application and eKYC status directly from your phone.

Offline help: If you cannot access the portal, visit your nearest Setu Suvidha Kendra, Gram Panchayat office, or Aaple Sarkar Seva Kendra. Staff there can check your status using your application details.

The scheme is open to women who meet all of the following conditions:

• Permanent resident of Maharashtra
• Married (including widows, divorcees, abandoned women, and single women in need)
• Age between 21 and 65 years (upper limit extended to 65 as announced by the Maharashtra government in July 2024)
• Annual family income within the prescribed cap (verify the current limit at ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in)
• Family does not own more than five acres of agricultural land (certain conditions apply)
• Family does not hold a government post or draw a government pension above a specified threshold
• Not already drawing Rs 1,500 or more per month from another state government scheme
• Possesses a valid bank account in her own name, Aadhaar card, and active mobile number

The scheme is administered by the Women and Child Development Department, Government of Maharashtra.

On the next installment date: The Maharashtra government does not publish a fixed calendar date for every month's release. Payments have historically been released between the 10th and 20th of the month, sometimes tied to significant occasions. For the current installment release date, check the official portal or follow announcements from the Women and Child Development Department.

These are the most common problems and what to do about each.

eKYC not completed or failed

The most frequent reason for suspended payments. Log in, go to your application, and find the eKYC section. Enter your Aadhaar number, complete the captcha, and verify with OTP. If eKYC fails due to a technical error, visit your Gram Panchayat or Setu Suvidha Kendra with your Aadhaar card.

Aadhaar name mismatch

Even minor spelling differences between your Aadhaar name and your bank account name can put payments on hold. Visit your bank branch with your Aadhaar card and ask for the name to be corrected to match Aadhaar exactly.

Bank account not seeded for DBT

Go to your bank branch and ask for the “DBT/NPCI Seeding” form. Make sure they tick the consent box for government scheme payments. Check your Aadhaar status on the UIDAI portal to confirm your Aadhaar is active and linked.

Application shows “Rejected”

Log in and check the “Remarks” column on your application for the specific reason. Use the “Edit/Update” option to correct the flagged detail and re-submit. If you cannot edit online, visit your District Women and Child Development office with original documents.

Status shows “Paid” but money has not arrived

Wait 2-3 working days, as DBT transfers sometimes take time to reflect in your passbook. If still missing after that, call the helpline (see below), raise a grievance on the portal, or visit your district office. Also see when your name is missing from a beneficiary list for a general troubleshooting framework that applies here too.

Account suspended after eKYC deadline

Visit your nearest Setu Suvidha Kendra or Gram Panchayat with your Aadhaar card and application documents. The government has deployed field teams for door-to-door verification; if no team has visited you, approach the kendra proactively.

• 181 (Women's Helpline, 24×7, toll-free) - officially maintained by the Maharashtra government
• For scheme-specific queries, also check the contact number listed on your district's official portal page

Go to ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in/sign-in, enter your registered mobile number, verify the OTP, and your payment history appears on your dashboard. You can also use the Nari Shakti Doot app from Google Play for the same result.

It means you have not yet completed identity verification on the portal. Payments are withheld until eKYC is done. Log in, go to the eKYC section, enter your Aadhaar number, and verify with OTP. If the portal gives an error, visit your Gram Panchayat with your Aadhaar card.

There is no single fixed date published for every month. Payments have been released between the 10th and 20th in various months. Check the official portal or announcements from the Women and Child Development Department for the current month's date.

First confirm your bank account is Aadhaar-seeded for DBT at your bank branch. Then call 181 and quote your application number. If that does not resolve it, visit your District Women and Child Development office with your Aadhaar card, passbook, and application printout. As a last resort, file an RTI (see below) to get a written response.

Log in to the portal and check whether your application exists and what status it shows. If it was rejected, the remarks column will tell you why. Correct the issue and re-submit through the portal or at your Gram Panchayat. If you never received an application number, apply fresh on the portal.

No. The OTP for login is sent to the mobile number you registered at the time of application. You need access to that number. If you have changed your number, visit your Aaple Sarkar Seva Kendra with your Aadhaar card to update the registered mobile.

Carry your Aadhaar card, a printout or screenshot of your application status from the portal (showing the application number and current status), your bank passbook, and any rejection notice or remarks shown on the portal.

Women's benefit schemes from other states follow a similar process:

• Maiya Samman Yojana Status - Jharkhand's monthly women's scheme
• Ladli Behna Yojana Status - Madhya Pradesh's Rs 1,500/month scheme
• Mahtari Vandan Yojana Status - Chhattisgarh's monthly women's benefit
• Subhadra Yojana Status - Odisha's Rs 10,000/year scheme for women
• PM-KISAN Status - Central government's DBT crop support scheme

If the portal shows nothing, the helpline gives no answer, and your district office is unresponsive, you have a legal right to ask for information. Under Section 6(1) of the Right to Information Act 2005, file an RTI with the Public Information Officer of the following authority:

File an RTI to: Women and Child Development Department, Maharashtra

• Current status of your application (application number: )
• Reason your payment was withheld or delayed
• Transaction reference number for any installment shown as “Paid” in the portal
• Date on which your eKYC was verified in the department's records
• Details of any field verification or grievance recorded against your application
