Ladli Behna Yojana Status 2026: check payment and list

To check your Ladli Behna Yojana status in 2026, open the official Madhya Pradesh portal at cmladlibahna.mp.gov.in. Use the Application Status page to see your application stage, and the Aadhaar link and DBT status page to see if your monthly payment was sent. You will need your Ladli Behna application number or Samagra ID, plus an OTP on your registered mobile.

Use only the official Madhya Pradesh Ladli Behna portal to check application or payment status.

The Ladli Behna Yojana sends money to a woman's own bank account every month by Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). The Government of Madhya Pradesh launched it in 2023 (cmladlibahna.mp.gov.in).

Because the payment is monthly, lakhs of women check their status often. Some want to know if their first application is approved. Others want to know if this month's amount reached their bank. A few find that the money stopped, and they want to know why.

The good news is simple. The official portal lets you check all of this yourself, for free. You only need a few details and your registered mobile number.

This is the application status. It tells you if your form is approved, pending or rejected.

1. Open the official portal. Go to cmladlibahna.mp.gov.in on any phone or computer.
2. Open Application Status. On the portal, choose the “Application Status” option (in Hindi: आवेदन की स्थिति).
3. Enter your number. Type your Ladli Behna application number or your Samagra member number.
4. Enter the captcha and OTP. Type the captcha code shown, then the OTP sent to your registered mobile.
5. Read the result. The page shows your current stage, such as approved, under process or rejected.

This tells you if your Aadhaar is linked, if DBT is active, and if the monthly amount was sent.

1. Open the official portal. Go to cmladlibahna.mp.gov.in.
2. Open the Aadhaar and DBT status page. Choose the option to check Aadhaar link and DBT status (in Hindi: आधार लिंक और डीबीटी की स्थिति जाने).
3. Enter your number. Type your online registration number or your Samagra member number.
4. Enter the captcha and OTP. Type the captcha, then verify with the OTP on your registered mobile.
5. Read the result. The page shows if your Aadhaar is linked, if DBT is enabled, and the payment status.

The amount is released monthly by single-click DBT. The exact credit date can change from month to month, so always confirm the current month on the portal. Do not trust any other date as final.

The portal has a final list (in Hindi: अंतिम सूची). It shows the approved beneficiaries.

1. Open the official portal at cmladlibahna.mp.gov.in.
2. Open the Final List option (अंतिम सूची).
3. Enter your registered mobile number and the captcha.
4. Verify with the OTP sent to that mobile.
5. View the list shown for your details.

Keep these ready before you start. They are based on the official status pages.

• Ladli Behna application number or Samagra member ID
• Online registration number (for the DBT status page)
• Registered mobile number (the OTP comes here)
• Captcha code shown on the screen
• OTP received on your phone

Note: the portal asks for an OTP on your own registered mobile. It never asks for your bank OTP, your bank account password or money. Never share these with anyone.

In short, the scheme is for married women who live in Madhya Pradesh and meet income and asset limits. The core conditions are:

• Resident of Madhya Pradesh, married (this includes widows, divorced and abandoned women)
• Age 21 to 60 years
• Family income within the scheme limit and not an income tax payer
• Aadhaar e-KYC done, with a DBT-enabled bank account linked to Aadhaar

For the full eligibility rules, the benefit amount and how to apply, see our Ladli Behna Yojana scheme guide. The official list of conditions is on the portal. The exact monthly amount has changed over time, so confirm the current amount on the official portal before you rely on it.

• Aadhaar card, with e-KYC completed
• Samagra ID
• Bank passbook of the Aadhaar-linked DBT account
• Registered mobile number

Use this as a rough guide only. The portal does not always explain each label, so treat the meanings as “may mean” and confirm with the helpline if unsure.

Do these steps in order.

1. Check the DBT status page first. Confirm the portal says the amount was sent. If it failed, the problem is usually at the bank.
2. Check your bank account is DBT-enabled. A de-linked Aadhaar is the most common reason money bounces. You can check whether your bank account is DBT-enabled and fix the seeding at your bank.
3. Call the official helpline 0755-2700800. Ask for the reason and a clear next step. Note the date, time and what you were told.
4. If you still get no clear answer, file an RTI. This is your legal right. See the RTI section below.

A missing name does not always mean rejection. It can mean your application is still under process, or that your details did not match.

1. Re-check your number and mobile on the status page.
2. Visit your nearest enrolment centre or local office with your Aadhaar and Samagra ID.
3. Ask for the written reason if your application was rejected.
4. File an RTI if the office does not give a clear reason in writing.

Use only official channels. Do not use agents, paid “status check” apps or any link that is not the official portal.

• Official portal: cmladlibahna.mp.gov.in
• Helpline: 0755-2700800
• Grievance: use the contact or grievance section shown on the official portal

For a wider view of complaint routes, see our status-check and grievance guides.

If the portal, office or helpline does not give you a clear reason, you can use the Right to Information Act, 2005. A public department must reply to an RTI within 30 days (RTI Act 2005, Section 7(1)). The standard fee is ₹10, and BPL card holders are exempt. If you get no reply, or an unclear one, you can file a first appeal within 30 days (RTI Act 2005, Section 19(1)).

RTI often works because an officer must now put the real status in writing. You can file an RTI for a delayed government scheme benefit, or use this guide to ask for the reasons when a subsidy or DBT payment is not credited. For women's benefits that stop, our guide on an RTI when a woman's benefit is not credited follows the same pattern. To draft fast, you can build your RTI in minutes or read The RTI Playbook.

RTI TEMPLATE FOR PENDING LADLI BEHNA PAYMENT

To: Public Information Officer,
Women and Child Development Department, [your district], Madhya Pradesh

Under the RTI Act 2005, please provide:
1. Present status of my Ladli Behna application no. ______ dated ______.
2. Name and designation of the officer handling my file.
3. Reasons for any delay or for stopping my monthly payment.
4. Copy of file notings or movement on my case in the last 60 days.
5. Likely date by which my payment or decision will be made.

Applicant name: ______   Address: ______   Date: ______
(Fee ₹10. BPL card holders are exempt.)

Many beneficiaries want to check their Ladli Behna status using only their registered mobile number. While the official portal does not have a single “mobile number search” button, your registered mobile is the key that unlocks every status page. Here is how to use it effectively:

1. On the Application Status page: Enter your application number or Samagra member ID. The OTP to proceed comes to your registered mobile. If you do not know your application number, the portal can help you find it using your mobile number and Samagra ID at the Samagra portal.
2. On the DBT status page: Enter your online registration number and complete the OTP verification on your registered mobile.
3. On the Final List page: Enter your registered mobile number directly, along with the captcha. The OTP comes to that number, and the list for your details is shown.
4. If your mobile number has changed: You must visit your nearest Ladli Behna enrolment centre or Common Service Centre (CSC) with your Aadhaar card and Samagra ID. Ask them to update your registered mobile number. Until it is updated, you cannot receive OTPs and therefore cannot check your status online.

The Government of Madhya Pradesh releases Ladli Behna installments monthly through single-click DBT. While there is no fixed calendar date published in advance, the pattern observed in 2024-2026 has been:

How to confirm the exact date for the current month:

1. Watch the official portal cmladlibahna.mp.gov.in for announcements.
2. Check the Government of Madhya Pradesh website for press releases.
3. Call the helpline 0755-2700800 and ask for the current month's expected transfer date.

Before checking payment status, confirm you still meet the eligibility conditions. The government periodically reviews beneficiary data, and names can be removed if conditions change.

1. Residency: You must be a resident of Madhya Pradesh. Your Samagra ID and ration card should reflect an MP address.
2. Age: 21 to 60 years. If you have crossed 60, the payment stops. Check your recorded date of birth on the Samagra portal.
3. Marital status: Married, widowed, divorced or abandoned. Unmarried women are not eligible for Ladli Behna (they may be eligible for other schemes — see our schemes for women page).
4. Income: Family annual income must be within the scheme limit. Income tax payers are excluded.
5. Aadhaar and DBT: Aadhaar e-KYC must be complete and your bank account must be Aadhaar-seeded and DBT-enabled.

How to verify your eligibility online:

1. Log in to the Samagra portal with your Samagra ID and family member details. Check your recorded age, marital status and address.
2. Visit cmladlibahna.mp.gov.in and open Application Status. If the portal shows your application as “eligible” or “approved,” your eligibility is confirmed.
3. If it shows “ineligible” or “rejected,” read the recorded reason. If you believe it is wrong, visit your local office with supporting documents or file an RTI.

If the portal says your installment was sent but your bank account shows no credit, follow this step-by-step process:

1. Step 1 — Confirm the DBT status. Open the DBT status page. If it shows “payment success” or “credited,” the money left the government and the problem is at your bank. If it shows “failed,” the problem is usually Aadhaar seeding.
2. Step 2 — Check Aadhaar-bank seeding. Visit your bank branch or use the Aadhaar bank seeding check guide. If your Aadhaar is not linked to your bank account, the DBT bounces. Get it seeded at your bank.
3. Step 3 — Check if your account is active. A dormant, frozen, or closed bank account will reject incoming DBT. Confirm with your bank that the account is active and can receive direct deposits.
4. Step 4 — Check for duplicate accounts. If you have multiple accounts linked to Aadhaar, the payment may have gone to the wrong one. Dial \*99\*1# from your registered mobile or check your bank passbook to confirm which account receives DBT.
5. Step 5 — Wait 3-5 working days. After the portal shows “success,” banks can take a few working days to reflect the credit in your passbook.
6. Step 6 — Call the helpline. If nothing works after 5 days, call 0755-2700800. Give your application number and ask for the exact failure reason.
7. Step 7 — File an RTI. If the helpline does not resolve it, file an RTI asking for the payment status, failure reason and file notings. See the RTI section and template above.

The Ladli Behna Yojana covers all districts of Madhya Pradesh. Below is a guide to the top districts by estimated beneficiary coverage. These are approximate figures based on publicly available data — always confirm exact numbers on the official portal.

How to find your district's Ladli Behna office:

1. Search online for “Ladli Behna office [your district] Madhya Pradesh” or visit the Government of Madhya Pradesh website.
2. Visit any Common Service Centre (CSC) — they can help you check your status and update your details.
3. Contact the Women and Child Development Department office in your district. They handle Ladli Behna grievances directly.

If you have changed your bank account, or if your old account is closed or frozen, you must update your bank details in the Ladli Behna system. Otherwise, your monthly payment will fail. Here is how:

1. Step 1 — Open the official portal at cmladlibahna.mp.gov.in.
2. Step 2 — Look for the bank update or correction option. The portal may have an option to update your bank account details online. If available, enter your new bank account number, IFSC code and branch details.
3. Step 3 — If the online option is not available, visit your nearest Ladli Behna enrolment centre, CSC or district WCD office. Carry these documents:
   • Original Aadhaar card
   • New bank passbook (first page showing account number, name and IFSC)
   • Samagra ID
   • Registered mobile number
4. Step 4 — Complete Aadhaar seeding on the new account. This is critical. Without Aadhaar seeding, DBT will not work even after the account number is updated. Visit your new bank branch and ask for “Aadhaar seeding” or “DBT activation.” You can also check seeding status with our DBT seeding guide.
5. Step 5 — Verify the update. Wait 7-10 working days, then check the DBT status page on the portal. If it shows your new account and “DBT enabled,” the update is done.

If your Ladli Behna payment is stuck, rejected, or the office gives no clear answer, filing an RTI is your strongest legal tool. Under Section 6(1) of the RTI Act 2005, any citizen can ask for information from a public authority — and the Women and Child Development Department is a public authority.

Where to file:

1. Public Information Officer (PIO): Women and Child Development Department, Government of Madhya Pradesh, or the PIO at your district WCD office.
2. Online: You can file RTI online through the Central RTI portal if your department is listed, or through the MP online RTI portal linked from mp.gov.in.
3. Offline: Submit a written application (use the template above) with a ₹10 court fee stamp or Indian Postal Order. BPL card holders are exempt from the fee.

What to ask (sample questions):

1. What is the present status of my Ladli Behna application no. [] dated []?
2. What is the reason for stopping or delaying my monthly installment?
3. Name and designation of the officer handling my file.
4. What action has been taken on my application in the last 60 days?
5. By what date will my pending payment be released?

Timeline and escalation:

1. The PIO must reply within 30 days (Section 7(1)).
2. If no reply or an unsatisfactory reply, file a first appeal within 30 days (Section 19(1)).
3. If the first appeal also fails, file a second appeal before the State Information Commission.

For a detailed walk-through, see our guides on filing an RTI for scheme delays and RTI for subsidy and DBT issues. You can also use our RTI Playbook for step-by-step drafting.

Ladli Behna is one of several state-level monthly cash transfer schemes for women. If you have moved states or want to compare, here is a quick overview:

Important note if you have moved states: You can only be a beneficiary of one state's scheme at a time. If you moved from MP to Maharashtra, you must inform the MP WCD department and apply afresh in Maharashtra. Holding benefits in two states simultaneously is not allowed and may lead to recovery action.

You can check the status of these sister schemes on our check-status hub: Ladki Bahin, Maiya Samman, Mahtari Vandan, Subhadra Yojana, Kalaignar Magalir. See also Ladki Bahin Yojana scheme guide and our guide to government schemes in India 2026.

Open the official portal at cmladlibahna.mp.gov.in. Use the Application Status page for your form, and the Aadhaar link and DBT status page for your payment. You will need your application number or Samagra ID and an OTP on your registered mobile.

On the portal, open the Aadhaar link and DBT status page. Enter your online registration number or Samagra member number, then the captcha and the OTP on your registered mobile. The page shows your Aadhaar, DBT and payment status.

Common reasons are a de-linked Aadhaar, a bank account that is not DBT ready, or a change in eligibility. Check the DBT status page first. If the portal says the amount was sent, check your bank. If not, fix Aadhaar seeding at your bank, then call the helpline.

Open the Final List option on the official portal. Enter your registered mobile number, the captcha and the OTP. The portal then shows the list for your details. Always use the official portal, not other websites.

The official helpline shown for the scheme is 0755-2700800. Use only this number and the official portal. Do not share your bank OTP, account number or any password with callers or agents.

You can ask for the present status of your application, the reason for delay or stopping, the officer handling your file, recent file notings and the likely date of payment. A reply is due within 30 days under the RTI Act 2005.

The official portal requires either your application number or Samagra ID, plus an OTP sent to your registered mobile. You cannot search by mobile number alone on the Application Status page, but the Final List page does accept your registered mobile number directly. If you have lost your application number, recover it through the Samagra portal using your family ID and mobile number.

Typically 1-5 working days. Banks sometimes take longer, especially if the account is in a rural branch. If more than 7 working days pass with no credit, check your Aadhaar seeding at the bank and call the helpline 0755-2700800.

Visit your nearest Ladli Behna enrolment centre or CSC with your Aadhaar card and Samagra ID. Ask them to update your registered mobile number. You cannot check status or receive OTPs until it is updated. There is no fee for this.

No. The monthly installment is a welfare benefit and is not treated as taxable income. It does not need to be declared in your income tax return. However, if you are an income tax payer, you are not eligible for the scheme in the first place.

No. Ladli Behna is for residents of Madhya Pradesh only. If you have permanently moved to another state, inform your district WCD office. You may be eligible for that state's women welfare scheme instead.

Dial *\*99*1#* from your registered mobile, or check your bank passbook for an “Aadhaar linked” stamp. You can also visit your bank branch. For a detailed guide, see our page on checking Aadhaar-bank seeding status.

Ladli Behna is the Madhya Pradesh scheme paying eligible married women aged 21-60. Ladki Bahin is the Maharashtra equivalent paying women aged 21-65. The eligibility rules, amount and portal are different. See our comparison table above and our Ladki Bahin Yojana status page for Maharashtra-specific details.

Yes. Fake messages claiming “₹2,500 from next month” or “click this link to activate your payment” circulate on WhatsApp. The official portal never sends such messages. Always verify on cmladlibahna.mp.gov.in. Never pay anyone to “check” or “activate” your status. Read more about fake government scheme scams.
