Ladki Bahin Yojana : The Maharashtra government has made an important decision about the Ladki Bahin Yojana. This decision has brought gladness to the state’s women. The e-KYC deadline set by the Chief Minister’s Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana has been extended. The administration had earlier set a November 18th deadline for completion. However, due to technical problems, over 11 million women were unable to finish their eKYC. The Maharashtra government has extended the deadline till December 31, 2025. As a result, women in the state will be able to finish their e-KYC by the end of the year.
The Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana is operating successfully throughout the state under the direction of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, according to Aditi Tatkare, the state’s Women and Child Development Minister and MLA from the Shrivardhan constituency. Prior to November 18, 2025, all beneficiaries were required to finish e-KYC. This has now been extended to December 31, 2025.
Why was the e-KYC deadline extended?
Tatkare tweeted that our state has recently encountered numerous hardships, including a natural calamity. I am aware that many qualified women have been unable to finish the e-KYC process for the “Chief Minister’s Ladki Behen Yojana” on time. Recognizing these issues, the state administration has made a crucial choice. The deadline for e-KYC under the Ladki Behen Yojana has been extended to December 31st.
Major Changes to the Ladki Behen Yojana
Women who have lost their husbands or fathers, or who are divorced, will be need to complete their own e-KYC under the new system. They must also submit a certified copy of their husband’s or father’s death certificate, divorce certificate, or court order to the Women and Child Development Officer in their area. According to the government, this action would ensure the scheme’s benefits remain consistent and stable.
