Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Scheme: e-KYC completed? When can beneficiaries get January 2026 instalment?
Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Scheme: e-KYC completed? When can beneficiaries get January 2026 instalment?
Many women beneficiaries of Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin scheme who have already completed their e-KYC, are yet to get the instalment of the December month. With January 2026 already underway, women beneficiaries are now also waiting for the current month's instalment. Many beneficiaries are confused about the date of the January instalment as the government is yet to announce it.
The Maharashtra government had made e-KYC mandatory to ensure that only eligible beneficiaries continue to receive payments under the scheme. The deadline was also extended to December 31, 2025, so that more women could complete their e-KYC. However, despite complying with this condition, several women are still waiting for their pending instalment, keen to know the reasons for processing delays and the timeline for the instalment disbursal date.
Earlier, Maharashtra's women and child development Aditi Tatkare had asked beneficiaries to complete their e-KYC process to avail benefits of the scheme. She also said that he deadline to complete e-KYC was December 31, 2025. She had urged women beneficiaries to complete their e-KYC fast to get the instalment of the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin scheme.
Aditi Tatkare had posted a message on her social media account on X (formerly Twitter). Her message read, “To ensure the uninterrupted continuation of the benefits under the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin scheme, it is absolutely essential to complete the e-KYC process. The final deadline for this is December 31, 2025, and now only the last 4 days remain. This is a humble request to all beloved sisters to complete their E-KYC process today itself!”
On which portal can women beneficiaries complete their eKYC for Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin scheme?
The Maharashtra government said that the facility to complete e-KYC for all beneficiaries of the scheme has been made available on the web portal – https://ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in.
So far, there has been no official announcement or clarification from the government's side about the date of the next instalment. Some news suggest that the government may release the instalment amount after the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections, which are scheduled to take place on January 15, 2026. But in lack of information from a government source, there is no clarity about the instalment date.
