महतारी वंदन योजना छत्तीसगढ़ 2026: पात्रता और आवेदन

Quick facts: ₹1,000 per month to eligible married women in Chhattisgarh · age 21+ · registered at Anganwadi kendra · portal mahtarivandan.cgstate.gov.in · over 70 lakh beneficiaries.

The Mahtari Vandan Yojana (महतारी वंदन योजना — “honouring the mother”) is Chhattisgarh’s flagship women’s cash-transfer scheme, launched on 1 March 2024 by the state government. Modelled loosely on MP’s Ladli Behna, the scheme transfers ₹1,000 every month directly to eligible married women’s bank accounts. As of 2026, the scheme reaches over 70 lakh women across Chhattisgarh — nearly every eligible married woman in the state.

पंजीकरण प्रक्रिया — How to Register

Unlike some schemes that require online self-registration, Mahtari Vandan is registered through your local Anganwadi Kendra — which ensures every eligible woman is identified and assisted, including those without digital access.

  1. Visit your nearest Anganwadi Kendra (village) or Urban Welfare Centre (city/town)
  2. Carry your Aadhaar + bank passbook + photos + marriage proof
  3. The Anganwadi worker fills the online form on mahtarivandan.cgstate.gov.in using your details
  4. Live photograph captured on site (mobile-based)
  5. You receive an acknowledgment slip with your application reference
  6. Verification completes within 30-45 days; approved women start receiving ₹1,000 in the next monthly cycle (typically credited on the 1st of each month)

When is registration open?

The state holds periodic registration drives (usually 2-3 per year). Check announcements via: – Your Anganwadi worker – mahtarivandan.cgstate.gov.in banner – Local newspaper / state government press releases

स्थिति कैसे चेक करें — Check Status

  1. Open https://mahtarivandan.cgstate.gov.in
  2. Click “Lagbhg Stithi” (Beneficiary Status)
  3. Enter your Aadhaar-linked mobile + OTP
  4. You’ll see: – Application stage (pending / approved / rejected) – Last 12 months of payments – Bank account’s last four digits

For missing payments, first check your bank statement — most “missing” payments are already in the account.

Payment Schedule and Method

  • Monthly: ₹1,000 credited to your Aadhaar-linked bank account via DBT
  • Date: typically 1st of each month; occasional 2-3 day delays during bank processing
  • Festival bonus: the state government has in past years added bonus credits before Diwali and Holi

Total annual benefit: ₹12,000 per woman — on top of any central schemes (Ujjwala, PMAY, etc.) you may already receive.
