Documents required for e-KYC of Ladki Bahin Yojana

Photograph of the beneficiary women, Aadhaar card, domicile certificate or ration card/voter ID card/birth certificate/school leaving certificate, income certificate, marriage certificate, bank account details, affirmation letter.

The scheme was launched by the Maharashtra government in 2024. Under this scheme, all women between the ages of 21 and 60 years in Maharashtra, except those who are income tax payers or government employees, get Rs 1,500 per month as financial support.

The money is directly deposited into the beneficiary’s bank account through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). To be eligible, a woman's family income should not exceed Rs 2.5 lakh per year, and she should be a resident of Maharashtra.

The government had made e-KYC mandatory because it was recently revealed that nearly 26.34 lakh ineligible beneficiaries, including men, had enrolled in the scheme and received the monthly allowance.
