Kist Calendar: What to Expect Each Month

The MP government follows a broadly fixed monthly cycle. Here is how the kist timeline typically works:

  1. Government announces kist date: Usually a few days before the 10th via official press releases and the portal notice board.
  2. Chief Minister releases funds: The CM formally releases the kist amount in an official programme.
  3. DBT credit: Funds reach Aadhaar-linked accounts within one to two banking days of the release date.
  4. Check portal: Log in to the status page after the 10th to confirm credit for that month.

Tip: If your bank account shows no credit by the 15th of the month, follow the troubleshooting steps in the next section.

Amount Progression

Period Monthly Amount
June 2023 (Kist 1) Rs. 1,000 (as reported at scheme launch)
After first enhancement Rs. 1,250
Current (confirmed on portal, June 2026) Rs. 1,500
Stated future target Subject to government decision; verify on portal

Always verify the current amount on the official portal, as the government may revise it.

Not Showing / Rejected / Not Credited: Fix It Step by Step

Step 1: Check your status first

Log in at cmladlibahna.mp.gov.in/LBYApplicationStatus.aspx and note the exact status message displayed.

Step 2: Aadhaar-bank linkage

The most common reason for a missed kist is that your bank account is not Aadhaar-linked or the DBT flag is inactive.

  • Visit your bank branch in person with your Aadhaar card as identity proof.
  • Ask the bank officer to seed your Aadhaar to your account and activate DBT.
  • Confirm the seeding applies to the account number registered in Samagra.

Also see: Aadhaar linking status check for step-by-step guidance.

Step 3: Samagra ID mismatch

If the name, date of birth, or mobile number in your Samagra profile does not match your Aadhaar, payment will fail.

  • Visit your local Gram Panchayat or Ward Office.
  • Request correction of your Samagra profile details.
  • After correction, allow one full payment cycle for the update to reflect.

Step 4: eKYC pending

If your eKYC is shown as pending on the portal, complete it:

  • At your nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) or Gram Panchayat office using biometric authentication.
  • Or through the Samagra portal if OTP-based eKYC is available for your profile.

Step 5: Application rejected

If the portal shows “Rejected” or “Ineligible”:

  • Read the reason shown on the portal carefully.
  • If you believe the rejection is incorrect, collect the rejection reason in writing from the Ladli Behna portal or the local office.
  • File a grievance through the CM Helpline at 181 or visit the District Women and Child Development Officer (DWCDO) office.

Step 6: Money not credited despite approved status

If your application shows “Approved” but the payment has not arrived for two or more consecutive months:

  • Check with your bank whether the DBT credit was returned (banks sometimes return credits if the account is inactive or the name does not match Aadhaar records).
  • Reactivate your account at the branch if it has been dormant for over a year.
  • Also check your PM Kisan status and ration card status to rule out broader Aadhaar-DBT issues affecting multiple schemes.

Step 7: Helpline

The official scheme helpline is 0755-2700800 (Madhya Pradesh government). You may also reach the CM Helpline at 181.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my Ladli Behna application number?

Your application number was printed on the receipt issued at registration. It is also visible in your Samagra profile under family member details, or at the Gram Panchayat or Ward Office where you applied.

My OTP is not arriving. What should I do?

The OTP goes to the mobile number linked to your Samagra profile. If that number has changed or is inactive, visit your Gram Panchayat or Ward Office to update it in Samagra first.

Can I check my status without an OTP if my phone is broken?

The portal requires OTP for security. Visit your nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) or Gram Panchayat office with your Samagra ID and a valid photo ID. The operator can check your status on their terminal.

Why does the portal show my status as pending even though I applied months ago?

“Pending” usually means eKYC is incomplete, a document is under verification, or an objection has been raised. Read the reason against “Status” after logging in, or visit the local DWCDO office for clarification.

I changed my bank account after registering. Will my kist still come?

No. Update the new bank account details in your Samagra profile and ensure Aadhaar seeding is active on it. Contact your Gram Panchayat or DWCDO office to make this change. Payments resume once the update is processed.

Can unmarried women apply?

No. The scheme is restricted to married women, including widows, divorcees, and abandoned women aged 21 to below 60. Unmarried women are not eligible under the current scheme rules.

What if my kist amount is less than Rs. 1,500?

If you are already receiving money from another government scheme, the Ladli Behna payment is topped up to Rs. 1,500 minus what you already receive, subject to official rules. Check the portal for your specific credit amount and contact the helpline at 0755-2700800 or 181 if there is a discrepancy.
