Ladki Bahin application status
Check free on the official Ladki Bahin portal if your own application is approved, pending, rejected or stopped, and why the ₹1,500 did not come.
Free on the official page. Your own numbers only. We have no automated link to any government portal, use no private data services, and never store the result.
What you need
- The mobile number you used when you applied, and your password for the Ladki Bahin portal. If you forgot the password, the login page lets you reset it with an OTP (one-time code) on that mobile.
- For e-KYC (checking that you are really you): your Aadhaar number (your 12-digit identity number) and the phone linked to your Aadhaar, to type the OTP yourself.
- Your bank passbook, to see if the money came. Check only your own application, never another woman's.
What to do on the official page
- Open ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in, the official portal of the Women and Child Development Department, Government of Maharashtra. Checking is free. Do not open links sent on WhatsApp or SMS; type the address yourself.
- Click 'Applicant Login' (अर्जदार लॉगिन). Type your mobile number, your password and the captcha (the letters in the picture), then click 'Login'.
- On your dashboard, click 'Applications Made Earlier' (आधी केलेले अर्ज). Your application shows with its number and a 'Status' column.
- Read the status. Match it with the list below. If the status is 'Approved' but money did not come, the reason is usually e-KYC or your bank account.
- To check or do e-KYC: open ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in/ekyc. No password is needed. Type your own Aadhaar number and the captcha, then type the OTP from your Aadhaar-linked phone yourself. Never tell the OTP to anyone.
- If you applied through the Nari Shakti Doot app, open the app on your own phone, log in with your mobile number and OTP, and open your earlier application to see the same status.
What the result means
The portal shows: Pending, or In Review (under verification).
It means: Your form was received. Officers of the Women and Child Development office are still checking it. No decision yet.
What to do next: Wait and check again after a week or two. If it stays pending for long, ask your Anganwadi sevika (the worker at your village or ward Anganwadi centre) or the ward office where you applied.
The portal shows: Approved.
It means: You are found eligible. The ₹1,500 a month is sent by DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer: money sent straight to the bank account linked to your Aadhaar) when the government releases each instalment.
What to do next: Keep your e-KYC done and your Aadhaar linked (seeded) to an active bank account. Instalments do not always come on a fixed date; check official news for the release date.
The portal shows: e-KYC pending, or e-KYC not done.
It means: Your Aadhaar check is not finished. Without it, the government can stop your instalments even if you were approved.
What to do next: Do e-KYC yourself on ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in/ekyc with the OTP on your Aadhaar-linked phone. If the OTP does not come, update your mobile number at an Aadhaar centre first. If the e-KYC window is closed, ask your Anganwadi sevika or call 181.
The portal shows: Suspended, or Inactive (benefit stopped).
It means: Your payments are stopped for now, often because e-KYC was missing or wrong, or a check found something to look at again (for example income, age or another government benefit).
What to do next: Take your Aadhaar card and bank passbook to your Anganwadi sevika or the Women and Child Development office and ask what to correct. Call 181 if you need help. Do not pay any agent to 'restart' it.
The portal shows: Rejected, with a reason.
It means: The office decided you do not meet a rule of the scheme, for example age 21 to 65, family income under ₹2.5 lakh a year, or living in Maharashtra.
What to do next: Read the reason. If you think it is a mistake, take your papers (Aadhaar, income proof, domicile proof) to your Anganwadi sevika or the Women and Child Development office and ask how to object.
The portal shows: Approved, but the instalment is not in your bank (or the portal shows a payment failure).
It means: Usually your Aadhaar is not linked (seeded) to an active bank account for DBT, the account is dormant (unused for long) or closed, or that month's instalment is not released yet.
What to do next: Dial *99*99# from your phone to see which bank your Aadhaar is linked to. Go to that bank with Aadhaar and passbook, ask them to make the account active and seed Aadhaar for DBT. Money goes to the account linked last.
Frequently asked questions
Is Ladki Bahin free?
Yes. Applying, e-KYC and checking status on the official portal are free. Nobody can charge you to apply, to 'approve' you or to restart payments.
Who can get ₹1,500 a month?
Women living in Maharashtra, aged 21 to 65, whose family income is under ₹2.5 lakh a year, as the Women and Child Development Department page says. Other rules may apply; the office decides.
I got a WhatsApp link for Ladki Bahin e-KYC. Is it real?
Do not trust it. Type ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in yourself. The address must end in .gov.in. Never share your Aadhaar OTP or bank PIN with anyone who calls you.
I forgot my portal password. What do I do?
On the login page use 'Forgot Password'. An OTP comes to the mobile you applied with. If that number is no longer yours, ask your Anganwadi sevika for help. Do not make a new application.
Who can I call for help?
Helpline 181 (free). Chief Minister helpline: 1800 120 8040 (free). Your Anganwadi sevika or the ward or taluka Women and Child Development office can also see your application.
Can FormSathi check my Ladki Bahin status for me?
No. The portal needs your own password and the OTP on your own phone, and the office decides each case, so we do not offer a paid call for it and we never log in for you. Use the official portal, your Anganwadi sevika or helpline 181.
