A woman cannot receive benefits from any other government scheme that overlaps with this one.
The government has also audited accounts and removed ineligible ones, including duplicate accounts and accounts of men. So only genuine beneficiaries should apply.
Why is e-KYC so important right now?
Beneficiaries were asked to complete e-KYC by 31 December 2025.
e-KYC is compulsory every year under the state resolution.
Some women selected the wrong option while doing e-KYC. Because of this, district collectors are verifying such cases physically through Anganwadi workers.
Women must complete verification within two months to receive monthly assistance. If Aadhaar authentication is not done, the benefit can be withheld.
How do you apply online, step by step?
Go to ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in and look for the application or registration option.
