Ladki Bahin Scheme: Essential Documents Needed for Applications

The state government’s ambitious Ladki Bahin initiative, launched just before the assembly elections, is becoming increasingly popular. Today marks the final day to apply for this scheme. Although more than 2.5 crore women are eligible, many have yet to apply for various reasons. The government is offering a last opportunity for those who haven’t submitted their applications. Women can apply at Anganwadis, which may lead to a high volume of applicants today. The scheme provides a monthly deposit of ₹1,500 into women’s bank accounts, along with a special Diwali bonus. The government has already extended the application deadline three times to ensure more beneficiaries can take advantage of the program.

The Ladki Bahin scheme started in the state on July 1. The initial application deadline was August 31, which was extended to September 30, and now to October 15. It’s important to note that there will be no further extensions.

To apply for the Ladki Bahin scheme, you need to have the following essential documents:

1. Aadhaar Card

2. Mobile Number

3. Passport-size Photo

4. Domicile Certificate/Birth Certificate/School Leaving Certificate

5. Income Certificate/Yellow or Orange Ration Card

6. Applicant’s Affidavit

7. Bank Passbook

Please keep in mind:

– If any documents are missing, incomplete, or have errors, your registration will not be processed.

– You will not be eligible for the scheme, and funds will not be transferred to your account.

– It is crucial to provide proof of residency in Maharashtra.

Make sure you have all the necessary documents ready before applying.

If a woman was born outside Maharashtra but currently lives in the state, she will need to provide additional documents:

– Husband’s Ration Card

– Husband’s Voter ID Card

– Husband’s Birth Certificate

– Husband’s School Leaving Certificate

Not providing these documents may lead to the rejection of your application.
