The Maharashtra government has extended the deadline for completing e-KYC under the Chief Minister’s Ladki Bahin Yojana, which is a huge relief for women in the state. The deadline for completing e-KYC under the Ladki Bahin Yojana was set for November 18, 2025. This program was started by the Maharashtra government to provide women more economic power.
A monthly payment of ₹1,500 is made straight into the bank accounts of qualified women under this program. Its objective is to empower women and give them consistent financial assistance. Women from low-income backgrounds who are mostly responsible for their families are the target audience for this program. The government wants to make sure that no woman is left behind because of financial limitations.
Ladki Bahin Yojana eKYC
Maharashtra mandated eKYC for all Ladki Bahin Yojana beneficiaries starting September 18, 2025, with the initial deadline set for November 18, 2025 roughly two months later. Due to floods, paperwork delays, and technical issues, the government extended it to December 31, 2025; this relief was announced around November 17-20, 2025. After completion, authorities cross-check beneficiary data against Income Tax records via Section 138 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Families exceeding the ₹2.5 lakh annual income threshold face removal from the scheme, halting the ₹1,500 monthly payments. Ineligible claimants identified through Aadhaar-PAN-ITR matching may receive recovery notices or penalties for discrepancies. The process targets fraud like duplicate applications or false income declarations to ensure aid reaches genuine low-income women.

What is Ladki Bahin Yojana e-KYC?
KYC represents a mandatory digital verification step for all registered women under Maharashtra’s Ladki Bahin Yojana, confirming the accuracy of each applicant’s Aadhaar number, linked bank details, and personal information to eliminate errors or mismatches.
This process actively prevents fake or duplicate entries by cross-checking against Income Tax records and family declarations, ensuring the ₹1,500 monthly financial aid reaches only genuine low-income beneficiaries from eligible households. Via eKYC, the government maintains updated records, verifies ongoing eligibility and upholds transparency as required under the Aadhaar Act, with annual renewals typically scheduled for June-July and the current deadline extended to December 31, 2025.
