The biggest good news is that the third installment for January can also be added, bringing the total amount of ₹4,500 to ₹4,500. It was previously scheduled to receive the November and December installments together, but now, if the January installment is also added, all installments can be received at once.
eKYC is mandatory under the Ladki Bahin Yojana
The government has emphasized eKYC in this scheme. Failure to complete eKYC by December 31st may result in the withholding of future installments. Women who have yet to complete their eKYC should hurry, or their upcoming installments in the new year may be withheld. The government has made Aadhaar-based eKYC mandatory. If you are between 21 and 65 years of age and registered under the scheme, complete your eKYC quickly.
The government’s Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system relies on this eKYC. Millions of women have already completed their eKYC, but some women are still completing their remaining eKYC.
