Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana: Check Your ₹1,500 Payment Status, Why an Instalment Stopped and Where to Complain

The Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana provides eligible women in Maharashtra with ₹1,500 per month through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). If your monthly instalment has not reached your bank account, do not assume that your application has been rejected. The payment could be delayed, your Aadhaar-linked bank details may need attention, or your eligibility and verification status may require checking.

This guide explains how to check your Ladki Bahin Yojana payment status, identify common reasons for a stopped instalment, resolve banking and e-KYC problems, and submit a complaint through the appropriate channels.

What Is the Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana?

The Maharashtra government introduced the scheme to support eligible women financially and strengthen their economic independence.

According to the government’s scheme information, eligible beneficiaries receive ₹1,500 per month through DBT.

The principal eligibility conditions include:

  • The applicant must be a woman residing in Maharashtra.
  • She must generally be between 21 and 65 years of age.
  • The family’s annual income must not exceed ₹2.5 lakh.
  • The beneficiary must meet the scheme’s applicable marital-status and other eligibility conditions.
  • Her bank account must be Aadhaar-linked for the prescribed DBT process.
  • The applicant must not fall under the scheme’s exclusion criteria.

Eligibility is subject to the applicable government rules and verification. Read the official details on the Maharashtra Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana portal before assuming that a missed payment is only a banking issue.

How to Check Your ₹1,500 Instalment Status Online

Use the official scheme website to check your application details and available status information.

Step 1: Open the official portal

Visit ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in.

Check that the website address is correct. Avoid unofficial websites that ask for money to check your payment or promise guaranteed approval.

Step 2: Log in to your account

Use your registered mobile number and the login details requested by the portal. Complete any captcha or verification step displayed.

If you cannot log in, use the portal’s available account-recovery or account-unlock facility.

Step 3: Check your application information

Look for the application-status section or the relevant beneficiary and payment details available in your account.

Check whether:

  • Your application is approved or still under verification.
  • Any verification or e-KYC action is pending.
  • Your personal information matches your supporting documents.
  • The portal displays any objection, correction request or other status message.

The exact options shown may change as the government updates the portal.

Step 4: Verify whether the money reached your bank

Do not rely only on an SMS notification. Check your bank passbook, statement, ATM mini-statement or official mobile banking service.

Look for the credit entry and its transaction date. If the scheme portal indicates that a payment was processed but your account shows no credit, contact your bank and ask it to check the DBT transaction.

Important: The scheme provides ₹1,500 per month to eligible beneficiaries, but that does not establish that a particular month’s instalment has been released or credited. Confirm the relevant month’s payment through official updates and your own account records.

Why Has Your Ladki Bahin Instalment Stopped?

Several issues can affect the processing of a benefit. Identify the problem before making corrections or submitting a complaint.

1. e-KYC or verification is incomplete

If the scheme portal indicates that e-KYC or another verification step is incomplete, follow the instructions on the official portal.

Some verification processes have also required information relating to the beneficiary’s husband or father. If your circumstances differ—for example, because of death or divorce—check the official instructions for the applicable exemption or correction process.

Do not assume that an old deadline is still open. Confirm the current instructions on the official website.

2. Your bank account is not correctly linked to Aadhaar

The scheme uses DBT to transfer benefits. An account being active or having an Aadhaar number recorded in the bank’s customer profile does not necessarily establish that the account is correctly mapped for Aadhaar-based DBT.

Ask your bank to check:

  • Whether your Aadhaar is linked to the correct bank account.
  • Whether the required Aadhaar-based DBT or NPCI mapping is active.
  • Whether the account is active and able to receive credits.
  • Whether any account restriction is preventing a payment.

If a mapping correction is required, ask the bank how to complete it and request an acknowledgement.

3. Your name or personal details do not match

Differences in your name, date of birth, Aadhaar details or bank records may lead to verification problems.

Compare the information in your scheme application with your Aadhaar and bank records. If you find an error, ask the responsible office or portal to explain the prescribed correction process.

Do not submit a fresh application simply because an instalment is missing. First establish whether your existing application needs a correction.

4. Your application is under scrutiny

A beneficiary’s application or eligibility may be reviewed by the responsible authorities. A payment delay does not, by itself, prove that the beneficiary has been declared ineligible.

Check the latest status and any notice or message issued against your application. If the portal shows an objection, ask the relevant scheme office what evidence or action is required.

5. Your eligibility may have changed or requires review

The scheme has income-related conditions and exclusion criteria. Changes in family circumstances or information identified during verification may affect eligibility.

If you believe a payment has been stopped incorrectly, ask for the specific reason and the applicable rule. Do not rely on social-media messages claiming that all beneficiaries have been stopped or that every missed instalment will automatically be paid later.

6. The payment has not yet been credited

A payment may not appear immediately in your bank account. Check the official announcement for the relevant instalment and then verify your bank statement.

If the payment was reportedly processed but remains missing, ask the bank to investigate the transaction and approach the scheme authorities with the details.

How to Fix Common Payment Problems

Use this checklist before escalating your complaint.

  • Log in to the official scheme portal and check your application status.
  • Read any verification message, objection or correction instruction.
  • Confirm that your Aadhaar details match your application.
  • Ask your bank to verify Aadhaar linking and DBT/NPCI mapping.
  • Confirm that your account is active and can receive credits.
  • Check your bank statement for the relevant payment date.
  • Keep screenshots or copies of the status message and bank entry.
  • Record the date and acknowledgement number of every complaint.

If the problem involves e-KYC or an application correction, contact the local Anganwadi worker or the appropriate scheme office for guidance. Use the official portal to confirm the current procedure before sharing documents.

Where to Complain About a Missing ₹1,500 Instalment

If the issue remains unresolved, use an official support channel and retain a record of your complaint.

1. Call the Maharashtra Women Helpline: 181

The Maharashtra Women and Child Development Department lists 181 as its women’s helpline.

You can ask where to direct a complaint about the Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana and which local office handles your case.

Official contact information: Women and Child Development Department — Support Helpline.

Keep your application details and the month of the missing instalment ready when you call.

2. Contact your local Anganwadi worker or scheme office

If the issue relates to e-KYC, beneficiary verification or application corrections, approach your local Anganwadi worker or the relevant Women and Child Development office.

Explain the problem clearly and ask:

  • Is my application currently approved?
  • Is any verification or correction pending?
  • Has the instalment been processed?
  • Which office is responsible for resolving the issue?
  • Can I receive an acknowledgement for my complaint?

If you visit an office, carry copies of the relevant documents rather than handing over original documents without a clear official requirement.

3. Submit a complaint through Maharashtra’s grievance portal

You can also use the state government’s grievance platform:

Maharashtra Government Grievance Portal

Describe the problem, provide the requested information and submit the complaint through the available process.

Save the acknowledgement or token number. The government’s grievance information says that the token number can be used to follow up on a complaint, and that the competent authority will try to resolve it within 21 days. This is a stated target, not a guarantee that every case will be resolved within that period.

When filing a complaint, select the closest relevant department or subject available on the portal. If you are unsure which authority handles your issue, call 181 first.

If the scheme authorities indicate that the payment has been sent but your account has not received it, contact your bank.

Ask the bank to check the DBT credit, Aadhaar mapping, account status and any failed transaction. Request a complaint or service-reference number.

If the bank does not resolve a banking-service complaint, you may consider the RBI Complaint Management System after following the applicable bank complaint process. The RBI mechanism is for eligible complaints against regulated entities; it is not a substitute for challenging a scheme eligibility decision with the Maharashtra government.

Documents and Details to Keep Ready

Prepare the following information when contacting the helpline, bank or scheme office:

  • Your scheme application or beneficiary details.
  • Registered mobile number.
  • Aadhaar details, where officially required.
  • Bank passbook or a statement showing the relevant period.
  • The month or months for which the instalment is missing.
  • Screenshots or copies of the status message displayed on the portal.
  • Any SMS or notice received from the authorities.
  • Previous complaint acknowledgement or token numbers.

Share sensitive documents only through official channels and only when required. Never publish your Aadhaar number, bank account details or other personal information in public comments or social-media posts.

Complaint Template for a Missing Instalment

You can adapt the following message when contacting the relevant office or submitting a grievance.

Subject: Request to Check Missing Instalment Under Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana

I am a beneficiary/applicant under the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana. My ₹1,500 instalment for [month/year] has not been credited to my bank account.

My application status currently shows [status, if available]. I have checked my bank account and would like to know whether any verification, e-KYC, Aadhaar mapping, eligibility review or payment-processing issue is pending.

Please verify my application and payment status, inform me of the specific reason for the missing instalment, and guide me through the required corrective action.

I request an acknowledgement of this complaint and details of the office responsible for resolving it.

Name: [Your name]

Application/beneficiary reference: [Reference, if available]

Registered mobile number: [Mobile number]

Missing instalment: [Month/year]

Previous complaint reference: [If applicable]

Please avoid including your full Aadhaar number or bank account number in a general complaint message unless the official channel specifically requires it.

Beneficiaries should be cautious of messages claiming that an instalment will be released only after paying a fee or clicking an unfamiliar link.

Remember:

  • The official scheme information states that the application process is free.
  • Do not pay an agent who promises guaranteed approval or immediate payment.
  • Never share your bank OTP, UPI PIN, ATM PIN or banking password.
  • Do not install a remote-access application at the request of an unknown caller.
  • Verify payment announcements on official government websites rather than relying on forwarded messages.

A genuine complaint or verification process should not require you to disclose your banking PIN or OTP to another person.
