Maharashtra Extends e-KYC Deadline for Ladki Bahin Scheme to December 31

Flood damage and OTP hurdles prompted the state to give beneficiaries more time to finish mandatory Aadhaar verification.

Overview

  • Women and Child Development Minister Aditi Tatkare announced the new deadline after the earlier cut-off of November 18.
  • Aadhaar-based e-KYC remains compulsory, and monthly Rs 1,500 transfers may be paused for those who do not complete verification.
  • Officials cited recent natural calamities, lost documents, and OTP issues where Aadhaar is linked to deceased relatives’ numbers.
  • Widowed or orphaned applicants must submit a certified death certificate, and divorced women must provide a divorce decree or court order.
  • Beneficiaries can complete e-KYC on ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in or get offline help at Anganwadi, SEtU, and taluka offices, as the state moves to weed out roughly 26.34 lakh ineligible registrations.
