Independent guide. Money Schemes is not a government website and does not take applications or payments. Apply only on the official portal, at a post office, a bank branch or a Common Service Centre.
Ladki Bahin Yojana eKYC is done on the official Maharashtra portal, ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in, by verifying your own Aadhaar with an OTP, then your husband's or father's Aadhaar with a second OTP, answering a few family questions and submitting. It takes about ten minutes when both phones are at hand.
The e-KYC keeps your monthly 1,500 rupees from the scheme flowing; in searches the same process appears as majhi ladki bahin yojana ekyc, mazi ladki bahin yojana ekyc or mukhyamantri ladki bahin yojana ekyc, because the state uses it to confirm who is eligible. This page covers the exact screens, what each error means, and what to do if your husband or father has died or you are divorced. It does not say when money will be credited; only the department announces that.

Ladki Bahin Yojana eKYC steps on the official portal
- Open ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in in a browser. Type the address yourself; do not use links forwarded in messages.
- Click the e-KYC banner or button on the home page.
- Enter your own Aadhaar number, type the captcha shown, tick the consent box and press Send OTP.
- Enter the OTP that arrives on the mobile linked to your Aadhaar and submit. If your e-KYC was already done, the portal says so and you can stop here.
- The portal checks whether your Aadhaar is in the list of approved beneficiaries. If it is, the next screen asks for your husband's Aadhaar, or your father's if you are unmarried.
- Enter his Aadhaar number, the captcha and consent, press Send OTP, and enter the OTP that comes on his Aadhaar linked mobile.
- Fill the remaining details, such as your caste category, and answer the declaration questions about your family. These ask, for example, whether any family member holds a government job or draws a government pension.
- Read the declaration, tick to accept and submit. A success message confirms that the e-KYC is complete. Take a screenshot.
How to do kyc for ladki bahin yojana if your husband or father has died
The second OTP step needs a living husband or father with an Aadhaar linked mobile. For women whose husband or father has died, and for divorced women, the department allowed a separate route:
- Complete your own Aadhaar OTP on the portal.
- Give a true copy of the death certificate, divorce certificate or court order to the anganwadi sevika, who sends it on to the district office of the department.
Ask the anganwadi sevika which paper your district needs and keep a receipt or note of the date you gave it.
What the e-KYC errors mean
| Message or problem | What is happening | How to fix it |
|---|---|---|
| OTP not received | The mobile number is not linked to that Aadhaar, or the network is slow | Wait two minutes and resend once. If it never comes, update the mobile at an Aadhaar enrolment centre and try after it is updated |
| Invalid or expired OTP | The code was mistyped or used too late | Request a new OTP and enter it at once |
| e-KYC already completed | Your record is already verified | Nothing more to do |
| Aadhaar not found in the beneficiary list | This Aadhaar is not on the approved list, or the form was filed with a different Aadhaar | Check with the anganwadi sevika which Aadhaar was used in your form |
| Captcha error | Letters typed wrongly | Refresh the captcha and type it carefully, matching capital and small letters |
| Page not loading | Heavy traffic on the portal | Try early morning or late night, or use the offline route |
Answer the declarations truthfully
The declaration questions are matched against other government records, such as income tax and transport data. A wrong answer can stop the payment and can lead to recovery. If you tick the wrong option by mistake, do not do a fresh e-KYC with someone else's Aadhaar. Tell the anganwadi sevika and ask whether a correction window is open; the department has given one time correction chances before, announced on the portal.
Doing the e-KYC with help offline
If you have no smartphone, or the OTP keeps failing, go to your anganwadi centre. The anganwadi sevika can guide you on the portal steps and record the papers needed for special cases. An operator at a CSC is able to load the portal on your behalf, but you must be present with your phone to receive the OTP. Keep every OTP to yourself; no genuine caller from the department will request it.
For problems that the local office cannot solve, dial 181, the number the state has given for this scheme, with your Aadhaar and application ID ready.
Ekyc ladki bahin yojana: things to keep ready
- Your Aadhaar card number and your Aadhaar linked phone, charged and with signal.
- Your husband's or father's Aadhaar number, and him or his phone nearby for the second OTP.
- Your caste category, as given in your original form.
- Clear facts about family jobs, pensions and vehicles for the declaration.
- Patience on a slow day: when you do the majhi ladki bahin yojana ekyc online, nothing is saved until the final submit.
- For special cases, the death certificate, divorce certificate or court order.
After the e-KYC

Frequently asked questions
Is e kyc ladki bahin yojana compulsory?
Yes. The state has made e-KYC compulsory for all beneficiaries to keep receiving the monthly amount.
Does the e-KYC have a last date?
The department has set and extended deadlines before. The current deadline, if any, is shown in the notice on the portal and is known to your anganwadi centre.
Why does the portal ask for my husband's Aadhaar?
The family details are used to check income and other eligibility rules. Unmarried women give their father's Aadhaar instead.
Can I do the ladki bahin yojana ekyc online from my phone?
Yes. Any phone browser can load the portal, and every check uses an OTP, so no fingerprint device is needed.
I finished the e-KYC but my money has not come. Why?
e-KYC is one check among several. The bank account, Aadhaar seeding and the eligibility review also matter. Check your status after logging in and ask the anganwadi sevika about any remark.
Is any e-KYC website other than the official one safe?
No. Use only ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in. Copy sites with similar names may steal Aadhaar numbers and OTPs.
