Ladki Bahin Yojana eKYC: The Maharashtra government in July 2024 started the women welfare scheme, Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana, aiming to provide Rs 1,500 monthly aid to women aged between 21 years and 65 years, earning less than Rs 2.5 lakh per year. Under the Ladki Bahin Yojana, eligible women receive Rs 1,500 each month directly into their bank accounts through DBT.

The Maharashtra government on Wednesday (November 5) started the distribution of the October instalment of the monthly aid to eligible women. However, the government has made the eKYC mandatory for receiving the payments. Beneficiaries can complete the eKYC through their mobile phones and CSC centres by November 18. The Mahayuti government has made a provision of Rs 36,000 crore for Ladki Bahin Yojana for the year 2025-26.
