How to apply for Ladli Behna Yojana
Complete Samagra e-KYC
Your Samagra ID must be e-KYC verified against Aadhaar before the application is accepted. This can be done through the Samagra portal or at the camp.
Apply at a camp, gram panchayat, ward office or Anganwadi centre
Applications are filled by the official at these points, not self-submitted online. Take your Samagra ID, Aadhaar and bank passbook.
Keep the acknowledgement
You receive an application number. You need it, or your Samagra ID, to check status.
Check the provisional list and then the payments
Approved women appear on the beneficiary list; payments then arrive monthly, normally around the 10th.
How to check your status
Open the application status page
On the official portal, choose application status.
Enter your application number or Samagra ID
Verify with the OTP sent to your registered mobile to view approval and payment status.
Why applications get rejected, and how to fix each one
Most rejections and stuck payments come down to a handful of record mismatches. Find yours below.
- Samagra e-KYC not completed
- Link your Samagra ID to Aadhaar through e-KYC. Applications without it are not accepted, and existing records without it can be held.
- Bank account not Aadhaar-linked or not DBT-enabled
- Ask your bank to seed Aadhaar to the account and enable DBT in the NPCI mapper. The account must be in the woman's own name.
- Age outside the range on 1 January
- You must have completed 21 and be under 60 on 1 January of the application year. If your Aadhaar date of birth is wrong, correct it there first.
- Family income above ₹2.5 lakh, land above 5 acres, or a four-wheeler
- These are exclusion conditions. A tractor does not count as a four-wheeler. If the record is wrong — for example land that was sold — raise it at the ward or panchayat office with proof.
- Income tax payer or government employee in the family
- The exclusion applies to the family unit. If the person counted is not part of your family as recorded in Samagra, get the Samagra family record corrected.
- Name mismatch across Samagra, Aadhaar and bank
- Correct the record that is wrong so all three match, then ask the ward or panchayat office to update the application.
