Ladki Bahin e-KYC problems: payment stopped or name removed — what you can still do
The Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana e-KYC deadline (30 April 2026) has passed, and about 70 lakh beneficiaries were removed; about 1.88 crore women still receive ₹1,500 a month. If your payment stopped, first check your status on the official portal or with your Anganwadi Sevika. If you were removed because of a wrong declaration, name mismatch or bank seeding issue, ask your Anganwadi Sevika / taluka office for correction, or call 181. No new e-KYC deadline had been officially announced as of late August 2026.

Why payments stopped — the common reasons
| Reason | What happened | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| e-KYC not done by 30 April 2026 | Name removed automatically | Ask your Anganwadi Sevika / taluka office whether re-verification is allowed |
| Wrong answer in the declaration | Many women ticked the option saying a family member is a government employee | Ask for correction of the declaration at the Anganwadi / taluka office |
| Name mismatch | Name in Aadhaar ≠ bank ≠ ration card | Correct the name in the document that is wrong — see PAN–Aadhaar mismatch for the general approach |
| Bank not Aadhaar-seeded | DBT failed | Seed Aadhaar at your bank — see seeded vs linked |
| Family income above ₹2.5 lakh | Found ineligible | Only if the record is wrong: submit a valid income certificate |
| Four-wheeler in family (tractor excluded) | Found ineligible | Only if the record is wrong: produce RTO proof |
| More than the allowed women in one family / other scheme | Found ineligible | Check the scheme rules with the office |

Frequently asked questions
My Ladki Bahin payment stopped. Why?
Most often because e-KYC was not completed by 30 April 2026, a declaration was marked wrongly, the name doesn’t match across documents, or the bank account is not Aadhaar-seeded.
Is there a new Ladki Bahin e-KYC deadline in 2026?
As of late August 2026, no new official e-KYC deadline had been announced. Check the official portal or your Anganwadi Sevika for updates.
I ticked the wrong option in the government-employee declaration. Can it be corrected?
Ask your Anganwadi Sevika or the taluka WCD office about correction. Carry proof that no family member is a government employee.
What is the official Ladki Bahin website?
ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in. Other similar-looking websites are not official.
