Ladki Bahin Yojana: The same question echoing in every household right now is when will the e-KYC for the Ladki Behen Yojana be completed? Many women were unable to complete the process on time due to rain, network issues, and document problems. The Maharashtra government’s latest decision brings significant relief to women who were striving to protect their rights despite these difficult circumstances.

The government has extended the e-KYC deadline to December 31st. Previously, the deadline was November 18th, causing stress for millions of women.

Ladki Bahin Yojana: Why was the new e-KYC date extended?

Women in districts recently affected by heavy rains and natural disasters faced significant difficulties. Important documents were damaged in many homes, network failures occurred, and many women were unable to receive the OTP.

The biggest challenge was faced by women whose Aadhaar cards were linked to the mobile number of a deceased husband or father. In such cases, receiving the OTP was nearly impossible.

Women and Child Development Minister Aditi Tatkare stated that the government does not want any woman to lose the benefits of the scheme solely due to technical glitches. Therefore, the decision to extend the deadline was taken.

Ladki Bahin Yojana: How will the e-KYC process be easier now?

The government has issued new guidelines to address OTP-related issues. If the husband or father is no longer alive, the woman will need to submit a certified copy of the death certificate along with her e-KYC. Divorced women will need to submit a divorce certificate or court order. This move is a major relief for women who want to retain the benefits of the scheme despite personal circumstances.

What is the Ladki Bahin Yojana?

This is a significant Maharashtra government scheme that provides monthly financial assistance to economically disadvantaged women. Aadhaar-based e-KYC is mandatory to ensure the smooth flow of this assistance. The government has clearly stated that no woman should be deprived of benefits due to issues beyond her control.

State Government Appeal

The government has appealed to all women beneficiaries to complete their e-KYC before the new deadline of December 31st, to avoid disruptions in future installments.
