Find the profile closest to your situation to quickly check whether you qualify:

✅

Sunita, 32, married, lives in Nagpur — family income ₹1.8 lakh/year, has her own Aadhaar-linked bank account

✅

Pooja, 23, unmarried, the only daughter in her family (family income ₹2 lakh)

Eligible — one unmarried woman per family qualifies when all other criteria are met

❌

Rekha, 38, married — but her family's combined annual income is ₹3 lakh

Not eligible — family income exceeds the ₹2.5 lakh ceiling

❌

Meena, 45 — her family owns a four-wheeler car

Not eligible — families that own a four-wheeler (tractors excepted) are not eligible

❌

Anjali, 67, widow, income ₹1 lakh

Not eligible — she is above the 65-year age limit

❌

Fatima, 29, married, but her bank account is NOT linked to Aadhaar

⚠️

Common Mistakes — Why Ladki Bahin Yojana Applications Get Rejected

✗Bank account not linked (seeded) with Aadhaar — the ₹1,500 transfer fails even after approval. Seed your Aadhaar at the bank branch first.
✗Giving a joint or husband's bank account — the money must go to the woman's OWN individual Aadhaar-seeded account.
✗Not completing eKYC before the deadline — incomplete eKYC permanently stops the monthly payment until it is done.
✗Income certificate showing family income above ₹2.5 lakh — re-check the figure on your Tehsildar/income certificate before uploading.
✗Filing more than one application for the same married woman — duplicates are auto-rejected (only one married + one unmarried woman per family qualify).
✗Name spelt differently across Aadhaar, bank passbook and income certificate — a name mismatch is the single most common reason for rejection.
✗Using a mobile number not linked to Aadhaar — the OTP verification step fails and the form will not submit.

💡

Insider Tips for Ladki Bahin Yojana

→Complete your eKYC between the 1st and 5th of the month to receive that month's ₹1,500 without a one-month delay.
→Keep scanned copies of Aadhaar, Maharashtra domicile, income certificate and bank passbook ready before you start — the portal session times out quickly.
→Check your payment status on ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in every month; if an installment is missed, raise a grievance immediately instead of waiting for the next cycle.
→Application is 100% free — never pay an agent. Apply yourself or at an authorised CSC / Setu / Anganwadi centre.
→Make sure your name is spelt IDENTICALLY on Aadhaar, your bank account and your income certificate to avoid verification failure.
