The Maharashtra government has made an important change in the Ladki Bahin Yojana rules. Earlier, only the woman’s e-KYC was needed. But now, married women must also complete their husband’s e-KYC, and unmarried women must complete their father’s e-KYC.
This change ensures that the benefits go only to women from families earning less than ₹2.5 lakh per year. If the e-KYC is not done, the financial help of ₹1,500 per month may stop.
Why Husband or Father e-KYC Is Needed
The government found that some women were getting benefits even when their family income was above the limit. Before, only the woman’s own income was checked. Many unemployed women, whose husbands or fathers had good incomes, were still getting the money.
Now, the total family income will be checked — husband’s income for married women and father’s income for unmarried women. If the total is above ₹2.5 lakh a year, the woman will be removed from the scheme.
This new e-KYC rule will help the government make sure that only truly needy women get the benefits.
Ladki Bahin Yojana e-KYC Process
The government has started an official website for completing the e-KYC process. You can finish this process easily from home using your mobile phone or computer.

| 5 | If your e-KYC isn’t complete, a new window will open asking for your husband’s (if married) or father’s (if unmarried) Aadhaar number. |
| 6 | Enter their OTP and complete the same steps again. |
| 7 | Choose your caste category and fill in the declaration form. |
| 8 | Declare that no one in your family works in a government job or gets a pension, and that only one married and one unmarried woman in your family will get benefits. |

Government Appeal
The Maharashtra government is asking all eligible women to complete their e-KYC as soon as possible. This will make sure they continue to receive their ₹1,500 monthly benefit without any delay.
The government has also warned that if anyone gives false or wrong information, strict legal action will be taken. These new steps will help the scheme stay fair, honest, and helpful for truly deserving women.
Conclusion
The new e-KYC rule under the Ladki Bahin Yojana is a positive step to make the scheme fair. By checking the total family income, the government can make sure only the right people get the money. Every eligible woman should complete this e-KYC soon to continue getting the benefits without any issue.
