Karnataka government's Gruhalakshmi scheme offers monthly support of ₹2,000 to the female head of every eligible family. Women can track every installment online from home through the Karnataka DBT app.
As of 26 September 2026, the 33rd installment of ₹2,000 is the next one due. Dinesh Gooligowda, vice president of the Guarantee Schemes Implementation Authority, said on 19 September that it would reach bank accounts within a week (Asianet Suvarna News). The state had released ₹2,443 crore for the 32nd installment in August 2026 (Udayavani). Around 1.24 crore women get the money now, and each has received about ₹64,000 so far.
This online status check removes the need to visit government offices, saving both time and effort. Women who have already registered and got their applications approved can simply log in to the DBT app and see whether the installment amount has been credited to their bank account.
Understanding the Karnataka Gruhalakshmi Scheme
Gruhalakshmi is one of the main guaranteed schemes of the Karnataka government. It was launched to help women who head their households, giving them direct cash support every month to manage daily expenses. The money is sent straight to the beneficiary's bank account through the DBT payment system, which keeps the whole process clear and simple.
More than 1 crore 30 lakh women who are listed as the family head in their ration card have already registered for the scheme. Registration is free and can be done through Karnataka One, Bangalore One, Grama One, and the Seva Sindhu portal. There is no last date for registration.
Details of the Latest Installment
The 31st installment of ₹2,000 was released by the Women and Child Development Department on July 17, 2026. The amount is being processed through DBT in batches, so it may take 7 to 15 days from the release date for the money to reach every bank account. Beneficiaries get an SMS once the amount is credited.
