The Lek Ladki Yojana Portal is the online platform used to submit applications under Maharashtra's Lek Ladki Yojana. Applicants who want to apply online can visit a Common Service Centre (CSC), where an operator can enter their details, upload the required documents and submit the application through the portal. The official portal is available at lly.mhicds.com. This guide explains how the portal works, how CSC operators help applicants apply online, what documents to keep ready and how the application moves through the verification and approval process. It also covers the application route through Anganwadi staff described in the Government Resolution dated 30 October 2023.
What Is the Lek Ladki Yojana Portal?
The Lek Ladki Yojana Portal is Maharashtra's online application portal for the Lek Ladki scheme. Its login page is titled "User Login: Lek Ladki Scheme" and asks authorised users to enter a Login ID, password and captcha. CSC operators use the portal to submit online applications on behalf of eligible applicants. After submission, the application proceeds through the prescribed verification and approval process.
The scheme is administered by Maharashtra's Women and Child Development Department. Applicants can refer to the official Lek Ladki Yojana page for scheme-related information, while the online portal is used for application-related work.
Lek Ladki Yojana Portal at a Glance
- Official portal: https://lly.mhicds.com/
- Portal login page: Lek Ladki Scheme User Login
- Purpose: Online application processing for Lek Ladki Yojana
- Login details: Login ID, password and captcha
- Who can apply online through the portal: Applicants can seek assistance from a CSC operator to submit their application

The portal displays a login form rather than a public sign-up form. If you are applying as a parent or guardian, contact a CSC operator to ask about submitting your application through the portal. Keep your documents ready, check every detail before submission and ask for an application acknowledgement or reference number for future follow-up.
Lek Ladki Yojana Portal Login Page: What You See
When you open the Lek Ladki Yojana Portal login page, you will see a login form for authorised users. The page asks for the following details and provides options to access an account:
- Login ID: Enter the user ID issued to you.
- Password: Enter the password associated with your login ID.
- Captcha: Enter the code displayed in the captcha image. Refresh the image if you cannot read it clearly.
- Sign In: Click this button to log in to your account.
- Reset Password: Use this link if you need to reset your account password.
- Language option: Switch between English, Marathi and Hindi, where available.
The login page does not display a public registration link or a dedicated contact number or email address. Since the portal requires login credentials, parents who want to apply online can approach a CSC operator for assistance. The screens and options available after login may vary according to the user's access permissions.
Who Can Log In to the Lek Ladki Yojana Portal?
The Lek Ladki Yojana Portal displays a login form but does not provide a public option for parents to create an account. Users need valid login credentials to access the system. Parents and guardians who want to submit an online application can seek assistance from a Common Service Centre (CSC) operator.
The Government Resolution dated 30 October 2023 describes the role of Anganwadi and child development staff in the scheme's application and verification process. The portal's public login page does not explain how user IDs are issued, so applicants should contact the relevant CSC or Anganwadi office if they need guidance.
Keep these points in mind before accessing the portal:
- Use authorised credentials: Users should sign in with the login ID and password issued to them.
- Parents do not need a personal portal login: If you want to apply for your daughter, ask a CSC operator about submitting the application online.
- Do not share another user's login: Avoid using an officer's or another person's credentials to submit an application.
- Protect your personal information: Never share your password or OTP with an unknown person or disclose it over an unsolicited call.
Lek Ladki Yojana Online Application Through a CSC
Parents who want to apply for Lek Ladki Yojana online can visit a Common Service Centre (CSC) and ask the operator to submit their application through the portal. Keep the relevant documents ready and carefully check the information entered before the operator submits the form. The checklist below will help you prepare for your visit.
Documents to Carry to the CSC
- The girl's birth certificate
- The family's income certificate
- The family's yellow or orange ration card
- The Aadhaar cards of the parents and the girl, if available or required
- The bank passbook or a copy of its first page
- A mobile number that you can access if verification is required
Document requirements may depend on the applicable scheme guidelines and the applicant's circumstances. Confirm the complete list with the CSC operator or the relevant Anganwadi office before submitting your application.
How to Apply for Lek Ladki Yojana Online Through a CSC
- Visit a CSC: Approach a Common Service Centre and tell the operator that you want to submit an online application for Lek Ladki Yojana.
- Provide the required documents: Show the relevant documents so the operator can enter the details accurately.
- Check the bank details: Verify the account number and other bank information entered in the application before proceeding.
- Review the application: Carefully check the girl's name, date of birth, ration card details and other information before the operator submits the form.
- Collect the acknowledgement: Ask for an application reference number or acknowledgement and keep a copy for future follow-up.
- Confirm the service charges: Ask about any applicable CSC service fee before paying and request a receipt.
- Follow up on the application: Keep your reference number safe and contact the CSC operator, Anganwadi Sevika or relevant child development office for guidance on the application status.
Important: Do not pay anyone who promises guaranteed approval or asks for extra money to influence the decision. Never disclose an OTP, password or other confidential verification details to an unknown person. If you are unsure about a request made during the application process, confirm it with your Anganwadi Sevika or the relevant child development office.
Anganwadi Route: How the Lek Ladki Yojana Application Moves
The Government Resolution dated 30 October 2023 describes the application process through Anganwadi and child development staff. Under this route, the applicant submits the prescribed form and supporting documents, while the concerned officials check the application and forward it for approval.
- Register the girl's birth: Register the birth with the local authority and obtain the birth certificate.
- Contact your Anganwadi Sevika: Ask for the prescribed application form. Your Anganwadi centre or the Child Development Project Officer (CDPO) office can guide you on where to obtain it.
- Submit the application: Complete the form with the help of the Anganwadi Sevika and provide the required documents.
- Document verification: The Anganwadi Sevika forwards the application to the Supervisor in rural areas or the Mukhya Sevika in urban areas. The concerned official checks the applicant's eligibility and documents and enters the application into the online system.
- Forward the consolidated applications: The CDPO prepares a monthly consolidated list and forwards it to the District Programme Officer or the designated nodal officer in Mumbai, followed by the Commissionerate.
- Sanction the benefit: The District Programme Officer or the designated nodal officer in Mumbai sanctions the benefit according to the prescribed procedure.
Special Cases Under the Anganwadi Route
- If you move to another district in Maharashtra: Contact the child development officer in your new district. The officer will recommend your case to the state cell.
- If you move outside Maharashtra: Apply directly to the state cell, as described in the Government Resolution.
- If the girl is an orphan: The District Women and Child Development Officer submits the case along with the orphan certificate issued by the department.
For the applicable documents and procedure, refer to the official Lek Ladki Yojana Government Resolution.
Lek Ladki Yojana Online Apply Through Aaple Sarkar
In August 2026, the state announced an online application route through Aaple Sarkar, Maharashtra's Right to Public Services portal. However, when the notified services list was checked on 13 October 2026, no Lek Ladki Yojana service entry was visible. The portal's homepage also carried a notice stating that some services had moved to the MAITRI portal. The MAITRI portal was not checked, so its current status for Lek Ladki applications remains unconfirmed.
Press releases issued later in August 2026 continued to describe the Anganwadi application route. Applicants should therefore confirm which route is currently available before submitting an application through a different website.
How to Check Whether the Aaple Sarkar Service Is Available
- Open the Aaple Sarkar Department Notified Services page.
- Look for Lek Ladki Yojana or a relevant service listed under the Women and Child Development Department.
- If the service appears, open its details and check the required documents, application procedure, timeline and any applicable fee.
- If you cannot find the service, contact your Anganwadi Sevika or the relevant child development office for guidance before using another website.
Features Announced for the Online Application Route
According to the state's announcement, the proposed online route includes the following features:
- Parents can submit applications online through Aaple Sarkar.
- The system will retrieve applicant details using the Aadhaar number.
- The system will carry out e-KYC for the girl, mother and father.
- Parents will not need to submit a fresh application for subsequent instalments.
- The benefit will be transferred through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to the linked bank account. The announcement does not clarify whether applicants must enter bank details separately.
- Applicants will not need to enter Anganwadi centre details.
These are features described in the announcement. Since the Lek Ladki service was not visible in the notified services list during the check on 13 October 2026, confirm its current availability before relying on this online route.
Lek Ladki Yojana Eligibility: Conditions to Check Before Applying
Before applying for Lek Ladki Yojana, check the eligibility conditions described in the scheme guidelines. The concerned officials verify the applicant's details and supporting documents during the application process.
- Ration card: The family must hold a yellow or orange ration card.
- Birth date: The girl must have been born on or after 1 April 2023.
- Number of children: The scheme covers families with one or two girls. A family with one boy and one girl can also qualify for the girl's benefit.
- Annual family income: The family's annual income must not exceed ₹1 lakh.
- Residence and bank account: The family must reside in Maharashtra, and the bank account must be in Maharashtra.
- Family planning certificate: A parent must provide the prescribed family planning certificate when claiming the third instalment for the first child or the second instalment for the second child.
- Twin girls: If the second delivery results in twin girls, one or both girls can qualify, subject to the prescribed condition that a parent undergoes family planning surgery.
- Final instalment: To receive the final instalment, the girl must have turned 18 and remain unmarried.
Meeting these conditions does not replace document verification. Check the official Lek Ladki Yojana guidelines or consult the relevant Anganwadi office to confirm the requirements applicable to your case.
Documents Required for Lek Ladki Yojana
The Government Resolution dated 30 October 2023 lists the documents required at different stages of Lek Ladki Yojana. The state announced changes to the online application process in August 2026, including a reduction in documentation, but the revised document list was not available in the sources reviewed. Keep the following documents ready and confirm the current requirements with your Anganwadi Sevika or the relevant child development office.
- Girl's birth certificate: Proof of the girl's date of birth.
- Family income certificate: Certificate issued by the Tahsildar or another competent authority.
- Girl's Aadhaar card: The 2023 Government Resolution provides a relaxation for Aadhaar at the first-benefit stage.
- Parent's or guardian's Aadhaar card: Keep the relevant identity document ready.
- Bank passbook: Copy of the first page showing the account details.
- Ration card: Attested copy of the family's yellow or orange ration card.
- School bonafide certificate: Certificate required at the applicable school-stage benefit.
- Family planning certificate: Required in cases where the scheme guidelines make it applicable.
- Voter ID or electoral roll proof: Proof relating to the girl's name for the final benefit, as prescribed.
- Unmarried-status declaration: Self-declaration confirming that the girl is unmarried, for the final benefit.
Do not assume that every document is required at the initial application stage. Ask the concerned office which documents you must submit now and which documents you will need when claiming later instalments.
Lek Ladki Yojana Instalment Amounts and Payment Stages
Lek Ladki Yojana provides financial assistance in five stages, from the girl's birth until she turns 18. The amounts listed in the scheme guidelines are as follows:
| Benefit Stage | Amount |
|---|---|
| After the girl's birth | ₹5,000 |
| When she enters Class 1 | ₹6,000 |
| When she enters Class 6 | ₹7,000 |
| When she enters Class 11 | ₹8,000 |
| After completing 18 years of age | ₹75,000 |
| Total financial assistance | ₹1,01,000 |
According to the state's announcement about the online application route, parents will not need to submit a fresh application for every subsequent instalment. Under the other application routes, contact your Anganwadi Sevika to confirm the documents and verification requirements for each stage. Keep the relevant school bonafide certificate ready when claiming an education-stage benefit.
Aadhaar and e-KYC for the Girl, Mother and Father
The online application route announced in August 2026 includes Aadhaar-based detail retrieval and e-KYC for the girl, mother and father. However, the announcement does not explain how the system will complete e-KYC for a newborn who does not yet have an Aadhaar number.
The Government Resolution dated 30 October 2023 provides a relaxation regarding the girl's Aadhaar at the first-benefit stage. If you are applying for a newborn without Aadhaar, confirm the applicable procedure with your Anganwadi Sevika or CSC operator before submitting the application. Do not delay the application solely on the basis of assumptions about the online verification process.
Lek Ladki Yojana Last Date: 15 August 2027 and the One-Year Rule
The state has announced two time limits relating to Lek Ladki Yojana applications:
- Existing eligible cases: Girls born on or after 1 April 2023 can reportedly apply until 15 August 2027.
- Applications after the announced date: New cases must reportedly be submitted within one year of the girl's birth.
However, the 2023 Government Resolution reviewed for this article does not specify these deadlines, and a separate 2026 Government Resolution confirming their application across all submission routes was not available in the sources reviewed. Confirm the applicable deadline with your Anganwadi Sevika or the relevant child development office before relying on these dates.
Where possible, start the process as soon as you have the birth certificate and other required documents. Early submission gives you more time to correct missing information or resolve document-related issues.
Lek Ladki Yojana Application Status, Rejection and Correction Time Limits
The official pages reviewed did not provide a publicly accessible Lek Ladki Yojana application-status tracker. If you have already submitted an application, keep your acknowledgement or reference number and contact your Anganwadi Sevika or the Child Development Project Officer (CDPO) office to ask about its progress.
The Government Resolution dated 30 October 2023 specifies the following time limits for applications with defects. These timelines may not necessarily apply in the same way to every online application route, so confirm the procedure for your case.
- Notice of defects: The office informs the applicant in writing about deficiencies within 15 days.
- Time to correct the application: The applicant receives one month to resolve the defects, with a possible extension of 10 days.
- Processing period: The office must complete processing within two months under the prescribed procedure.
The resolution also provides for random checks by the CDPO and District Programme Officer in areas with a high number of applications. The office reports incomplete or rejected applications to the Commissioner by the fifth day of each month. If your application remains pending or gets rejected, contact the CDPO office and ask for the reason and the next steps.
Lek Ladki Yojana DBT Payment and Bank Account Requirements
The scheme provides financial assistance through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). The Government Resolution dated 30 October 2023 specifies the following bank-account conditions:
- Joint account with the mother: The benefit is transferred to a joint bank account held by the girl and her mother.
- If the mother has died: The account is held jointly by the girl and her father, and the mother's death certificate must be attached as prescribed.
- Bank location: The bank account must be in Maharashtra.
The August 2026 announcement describes the online route as using a linked bank account for DBT. A later press release also refers to the passbook of the girl or her parents. Since these descriptions do not fully clarify the account details required in every case, keep the passbook ready and confirm the correct account arrangement with your Anganwadi Sevika or the CSC operator before submission.
Safety Tips When Applying for Lek Ladki Yojana Online
Use the official portal and verify the application process before sharing personal documents. The portal's public login page does not explain which external operators have access to the system, so take the following precautions when seeking application assistance.
- Protect your OTP: Never share an OTP over a phone call or message with an unknown person. Do not disclose your Aaple Sarkar password or other confidential login details.
- Do not use another person's account: Avoid logging in through an officer's or another user's credentials.
- Confirm service charges: The sources reviewed did not establish a definitive application fee. Ask about any applicable charges before paying and request a receipt.
- Avoid guaranteed-approval claims: No operator or agent should be trusted merely because they promise approval in exchange for extra money.
- Check the website address: Open the portal by entering lly.mhicds.com directly in your browser rather than following unknown links in advertisements or messages.
- Keep proof of submission: Save a copy of the application and acknowledgement or reference number for future follow-up.
- Verify unusual requests: If an operator asks for unnecessary information or makes a request you do not understand, check with your Anganwadi Sevika or the relevant child development office.
