When people look up the Ladki Bahin Yojana last date, they usually mean one of two different deadlines: the last date to register for the scheme, or the last date to finish e-KYC. Our website is an independent explainer written by private authors; forms, logins and corrections are handled only on the government portal ladakibahin.maharashtra.gov.in or at government offices.
The short answer is that both windows are closed today. No new registration is open, and the e-KYC period ended after its final extension. For the exact closing date of the most recent window, see the status box at the head of this article, which we keep updated.
The two kinds of Ladki Bahin Yojana last date
Confusion about the last date of Ladki Bahin Yojana comes from mixing up two separate stages.
| Deadline | What it was for | Position now |
|---|---|---|
| Registration (application form) | Joining the scheme for the first time | Closed |
| e-KYC | Aadhaar verification of women already enrolled | Closed |
So whether you were looking for the last date to apply for Ladki Bahin Yojana, or the last date for ladki bahin yojana e-KYC, the honest answer is the same: neither is open at present. Messages that give a fresh last date without an official announcement should not be trusted.
Last date to apply: registration is closed
Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana application forms used to come in through the online portal, the Nari Shakti Doot app, and on paper through Anganwadi workers, local service centres and ward offices. Those channels no longer take new names.
In a recent clarification the state department of Women and Child Development (WCD) stated that it had begun neither a new website nor any new application process. It warned that viral posts announcing new registration are fake and may try to collect OTPs or money. So the mazi ladki bahin yojana last date to apply has, in effect, passed, and no extended date for new forms exists right now. You can read about the old routes on our application guide.
e-KYC deadline: extended several times, now over
e-KYC is the Aadhaar based check that every enrolled woman must complete each year. When it was made compulsory, women were first given two months to finish it. That deadline was pushed back more than once, and a final extension and correction period followed. The minister in charge of the department called that final period the last chance.
That window has now closed. The WCD department has called messages about an e-KYC restart false. Because the rule requires a fresh e-KYC every year, another round may come in future, but no date has been given. Our e-KYC guide explains the rule, and the process page shows the steps so you are ready.
Ladki Bahin Yojana last date extended or not
This is the question we are asked most. For e-KYC, yes, the deadline was extended several times, but the last extension has ended and nothing new is open. For registration, no fresh extension or reopening has been announced, and the department has denied that any new process has started.
Many people also look up a ladki bahin yojana last date in October or September or on a particular day. We do not publish guessed dates. For any genuine ladki bahin yojana last date update in Maharashtra, our status panel is the place to look. If the state does announce a new date, it will appear in our status panel once we can confirm it from an official or reliable news source.
What happened to women who missed the deadline
Missing the e-KYC date has real effects. The verification drive took out about 92 lakh names, and roughly 62 lakh of them lost the benefit for no reason other than incomplete e-KYC. About 68 lakh accounts were reported to be shut permanently once the final cut off passed.
Women who missed it stopped receiving the monthly Rs 1,500. Money already received is not being taken back; the government has said it will not recover payments already made. If your installments have stopped, our guide on stopped payments lists each likely cause.
Steps open to you even now
- Look up your record. Sign in to the government portal using the registered mobile number and password and open your earlier applications, then use the e-KYC page to see whether verification shows as completed. Details are on our status check page.
- Fix your bank link. Ask your branch to confirm Aadhaar seeding and DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) for your account.
- Update your Aadhaar mobile. The e-KYC OTP goes only to this number.
- Raise a complaint if wrongly removed. Phone 181, or carry original documents to your Anganwadi worker or the tehsil office.
- Watch for real news. Rely on WCD announcements and reliable newspapers, not forwarded messages.
Documents to keep ready for any future window
Searches for ladki bahin yojana last date documents required usually come from women who hope to apply. While no window is open, it still makes sense to keep papers in order. At the time of applying the scheme asked for Aadhaar, a domicile certificate or an accepted alternative, an income certificate for white ration card holders or those without a ration card, bank details, a photo and an undertaking form. For e-KYC, keep your Aadhaar with an active mobile plus the Aadhaar of your husband or father. The full list is on our documents page.
Last date information in Marathi and in other searches
Some readers look for the ladki bahin yojana last date in Marathi, or type ladki bahini yojana last date or majhi ladki bahin yojana last date. All of these point to the same two deadlines described above. A Marathi page carries the main points in Marathi. If anyone offers to get you in after the last date for a fee, refuse. Nobody can sell a place in this scheme, and sharing your OTP can empty your account.

Not right now. Watch official announcements, and ignore links claiming registration has reopened, because the department has called such claims fake.
