Mahtari Vandan e-KYC: deadline and where to do it
e-KYC was made mandatory. According to Patrika (12 June 2026), the deadline in Kanker district was 30 June 2026. Patrika reported on 8 July 2026 that the deadline was extended for the Bastar division only, with no extension for the Raipur division. About 9,000 women in Mahasamund missed the July 2026 installment, but they were not removed and can get later installments after verification.
- Take your Aadhaar card and the mobile phone linked to it.
- Visit the nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) or your gram panchayat VLE.
- Complete e-KYC there. As reported, it is free.
- Ask your Anganwadi worker to confirm. Anganwadi workers can see pending e-KYC lists in the Mahtari Vandan app, according to Patrika.
- If your installment stopped, ask whether verification is pending and when payments will restart.
Deadlines differed by division, and we could not confirm the current position everywhere. Ask locally before assuming you have missed out.
Status check and Antim Suchi (अंतिम सूची)
The official portal is mahtarivandan.cgstate.gov.in. We could not open it during research. Housing.com describes these sections:
- Aavedan ki Sthiti (आवेदन की स्थिति, application status).
- Antim Suchi (अंतिम सूची, final list of beneficiaries).
According to Housing.com, you can search by beneficiary number, mobile or Aadhaar number. Menu names may have changed, so look for similar options. Enter details only on the official cgstate.gov.in site. If it does not load, use your bank passbook or ask your Anganwadi worker or gram panchayat.
Online form and last date
In 2024, applications were taken offline at Anganwadi centres, gram panchayat or ward offices and special camps, as reported by Housing.com. We could not confirm whether new registrations have reopened in 2025 or 2026. So a "Mahtari Vandana Yojana online form" or "last date" you see on social media may not be real. Check the portal or ask your Anganwadi centre.
