Ladki Bahin eKYC Last Date - April 2, 2026 Update: Maharashtra government has once again extended the eKYC deadline for Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana. Women & Child Development Minister Aditi Tatkare officially announced that the new last date to complete eKYC is 30 April 2026, extended from the earlier deadline of 31 March 2026.
Around 68 lakh accounts out of a total of 2.43 crore have been permanently closed after beneficiaries failed to complete the mandatory eKYC process by March 31. Following this cleanup, approximately 1.75 crore women remain as active beneficiaries under the scheme.
Important: Women who complete their eKYC before 30 April 2026 will receive a combined payment of Rs. 4,500 covering three pending installments - February, March, and April 2026 - directly into their Aadhaar-linked bank accounts.
eKYC Deadline Extension History
- November 2025 - First deadline set
- 31 December 2025 - Extended for the first time
- 31 March 2026 - Extended again (correction window opened)
- 30 April 2026 - Latest extension announced by Minister Aditi Tatkare
Why Was the Deadline Extended Again?
The main reason for the latest extension is technical portal issues and human errors made by beneficiaries while filling the eKYC form. A confusingly worded Marathi question - "Tumchya gharatle koni sarkari nokrit nahi na?" ("Nobody in your family works for the government, right?") - was reportedly misinterpreted by many beneficiaries, causing over 24 lakh accounts to be wrongly flagged as government employees and payments to be stopped. The extended window allows these women to correct their entries.
Minister Aditi Tatkare clarified that the deadline was extended so that no eligible woman loses her monthly benefit due to a technical or entry mistake.
