Ladki Bahin Yojana Status and Payment Check 2026 (Maharashtra)

Use only the official Ladki Bahin portal to check your application or payment status.

Quick answer. To check your Ladki Bahin Yojana status 2026, open the official Maharashtra portal ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in and log in with your registered mobile number and OTP. Your dashboard shows your application stage and payment status. The Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana, run by the Women and Child Development Department, pays Rs 1,500 per month by Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to eligible women. This website cannot check your status. If your money is not credited, the most common cause is an Aadhaar that is not seeded with your bank account, or pending e-KYC. If the portal or office gives no clear answer, you can file an RTI under Section 6(1) of the RTI Act 2005.

Ladki Bahin is one of India's most-searched state schemes, so instalments go out in very large batches. A late or missing payment is usually an e-KYC or Aadhaar-seeding issue, not a rejection. This guide shows where to check, what each status may mean, and what to do if your money has not arrived. Every scheme fact below is taken from the official Maharashtra portal and the scheme Government Resolution.

1. Open the official portal ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in.
2. Click Login (the sign-in page).
3. Enter your registered mobile number, then the OTP sent to your phone.
4. Open your dashboard to see your application stage and payment status.
5. Check your e-KYC status. If it is pending, complete it on the portal's e-KYC page.
6. If the portal shows “paid” but no money arrived, check your Aadhaar-bank seeding (explained below).

Your payment record sits with your Aadhaar-linked bank account, because the money arrives by DBT. To confirm a credit, check your bank passbook, SMS alerts, or net banking. On the portal, your dashboard also shows whether your application is approved and whether e-KYC is complete. Both must be done before a payment can land. If you applied through an Anganwadi, Seva Kendra, or Setu / CSC, that operator can also help you open your status.

The scheme is for women of Maharashtra who meet the conditions in the scheme Government Resolution (GR dated 28 June 2024 and 3 July 2024):

• You must be a woman resident of Maharashtra.
• You must be aged 21 years or above. Confirm the current upper age limit on the portal.
• Married, widowed, divorced, abandoned and destitute women are covered.
• Your annual family income must be within the scheme ceiling, widely listed as Rs 2.5 lakh. Confirm the exact figure in the GR or on the portal.
• Exclusions in the GR include income-tax-paying families, families with a government employee, and four-wheeler owners (with stated exceptions). Check the GR for the full list.

Because the GR terms are updated from time to time, always confirm the current rule on the official portal before you apply or appeal.

Keep these ready, as listed in the official scheme forms:

• Aadhaar card (linked to your mobile for OTP and e-KYC).
• Bank account in your name, seeded with Aadhaar for DBT.
• Maharashtra domicile proof. If you lack a domicile certificate, the scheme accepts a 15-year-old ration card or voter ID, a birth certificate, or a school leaving certificate.
• Income proof (or a ration card where the rules allow it as income proof).
• Mobile number that receives OTP.

Official labels can differ, so the table below uses careful wording. Always trust the exact text on your dashboard.

Two checks fix most missing payments.

1. Complete e-KYC. No e-KYC means no payment. Finish it on the portal's e-KYC page.
2. Seed Aadhaar with your bank. For any DBT scheme, the top reason money does not arrive is an Aadhaar that is not linked in the NPCI DBT mapper. Visit your bank with Aadhaar and passbook and ask for Aadhaar seeding and DBT enablement.

You can check the DBT link yourself. See our guide to check if your bank account is DBT-linked. Other common reasons: a frozen or KYC-pending account, a closed account, or a name mismatch. Fix these at your branch, then re-check after the next payment cycle.

Use only official channels. Do not pay any agent who promises faster approval or a guaranteed payment.

• Official portal: ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in (use the contact or grievance section if shown).
• Local office: your Anganwadi worker, Sevika / Supervisor, or the District Women and Child Development Office.
• State office: Women and Child Development Department, 3rd floor, New Administrative Building, Madam Cama Road, Hutatma Rajguru Chowk, Mumbai 400032.

If the office and portal do not give you a clear, dated answer, you have a legal right to ask. File an RTI under Section 6(1) of the RTI Act 2005 to the Public Information Officer (PIO) of the implementing office, usually the District Women and Child Development Office.

You can ask for facts the portal will not show, such as:

1. The current status and recorded stage of your application.
2. The reason for any delay or rejection, and your e-KYC status on record.
3. The date your payment was released, with the transaction reference.
4. The number of applications pending in your district for 2025 to 2026.

To the CPIO, [District Women and Child Development Office, your district]
Subject: Information under Section 6(1) RTI Act 2005, Ladki Bahin Yojana
1. The current status of my application (registered mobile: [number]).
2. The reason recorded for any delay, rejection or held payment.
3. The date and transaction reference of my last instalment, if released.
4. The number of Ladki Bahin applications pending in this district for 2025 to 2026.

The PIO must reply within 30 days under Section 7(1). If there is no reply or an evasive one, file a first appeal within 30 days under Section 19(1). Draft it fast with the RTI Drafter, and read The RTI Playbook for the full path. For the general method, see file RTI for a delayed government scheme benefit.

Open ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in, log in with your registered mobile and OTP, and open your dashboard. It shows your application stage, e-KYC status and payment status. For the actual money, check your Aadhaar-linked bank passbook or SMS, because payment arrives by DBT.

The scheme pays Rs 1,500 per month by Direct Benefit Transfer to eligible women. The amount is credited to your Aadhaar-linked bank account. Confirm the current amount on the official portal.

The two most common reasons are pending e-KYC and an Aadhaar that is not seeded with your bank in the NPCI DBT mapper. Complete e-KYC on the portal, then ask your bank for Aadhaar seeding and DBT enablement. If status shows “paid” but no money came, raise it with your office and file an RTI for the transaction reference.

No. Applying on the official portal and checking your status are free. Do not pay any agent who promises faster approval or a guaranteed payment. Only official channels can update your status.

Yes, if you fix the reason. Common reasons are income above the ceiling, a missing domicile proof, or an excluded category. Read the recorded reason, then re-apply or raise a grievance. You can also file an RTI for the exact recorded reason.

Escalate. Use the portal grievance section, contact the District Women and Child Development Office, or file an RTI under Section 6(1) of the RTI Act 2005 for a dated, written answer about your status and payment.
