Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana 2026: Status Check, Benefits and Application

If you are searching for “mukhyamantri kanya utthan yojana check status”, you are not alone — this is one of the fastest-growing queries on Google Trends India right now. Thousands of families in Bihar want to know the same things: where is my daughter’s application stuck, when will the money arrive, and how do I check the status online?

This guide gives you the complete picture in one place — what the scheme is, the benefit at every stage of a girl’s life, how to check your Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana application and payment status step by step (for both Class 12 and Graduation), how to find your name in the payment list, and exactly what to do when your status gets stuck at any stage. Let’s walk through it stage by stage, so you never have to run around guessing.

What is Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana?

The Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana (MKUY) is the Bihar government’s flagship programme for girl children, launched on 25 April 2018. Its goal is simple and powerful: no girl should drop out of school or college for lack of money. The scheme pays milestone-based incentives from a girl’s birth all the way to her graduation.

The scheme has several components — the 10th-pass incentive, the 12th-pass (Madhyamik+2) incentive, and the Graduation (Snatak) incentive — all managed through the official Medhasoft portal (medhasoft.bih.nic.in), which is run by NIC Bihar. The biggest single benefit, as we will see below, comes at the graduation stage.

Quick Facts

Scheme name	Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana (MKUY)
Launched	25 April 2018, Government of Bihar
Beneficiaries	Girls of Bihar (birth to graduation)
Class 12 incentive	₹25,000
Graduation incentive	₹50,000 (one-time)
Application mode	Online, completely free
Official portal	medhasoft.bih.nic.in
Income limit	None
Category	All (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS)
Payment mode	DBT — directly to the Aadhaar-seeded bank account

Benefits at Every Stage: Birth to Graduation

What makes this scheme special is that it supports a girl at every age. According to state budget documents cited widely, a girl who receives every component from birth to graduation can get up to ₹94,100 in total assistance.

Stage	Amount	Paid to
Birth of the girl child	₹5,000	Mother’s bank account (DBT)
Immunisation completion	₹1,000	Mother / via Anganwadi
Sanitary napkin allowance (from Class 7)	₹300 per year	Girl’s account
Uniform allowance (Classes 1–2)	₹600	Girl’s account
Uniform allowance (Classes 3–5)	₹700	Girl’s account
Uniform allowance (Classes 6–8)	₹1,000	Girl’s account
Uniform allowance (Classes 9–12)	₹1,500	Girl’s account
Passing Class 12 (unmarried) — Inter incentive	₹25,000	Girl’s Aadhaar-linked account
Passing Graduation (unmarried) — Snatak incentive	₹50,000	Girl’s Aadhaar-linked account (DBT)

The ₹50,000 graduation incentive is the single largest benefit, paid as a one-time lump sum. The ₹25,000 for Class 12 is a separate component — receiving the Inter incentive does not disqualify you from the Graduation incentive. They are independent.

Eligibility: Who Can Apply

For the Graduation and Class 12 incentives, all of the following must be true:

Gender: Female applicants only.
Domicile: Must be a permanent resident of Bihar.
Marital status: The girl must be unmarried at the time of graduation — this is the strictest condition. Married graduates are not eligible for the ₹50,000.
Batch: Graduation passed on or after 25 April 2018 (scheme launch). Batches 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 are all eligible.
Institution: Graduation from a government, aided, or Bihar-government-recognised university/college/madrasah. All streams qualify — BA, BSc, BCom, B.Tech, MBBS, LLB, BCA, BBA and equivalents.
Bank account: Must be in the girl’s own name, active, and Aadhaar-seeded. Parents’ accounts and joint accounts are rejected.
Income limit: None — poor or rich, everyone qualifies.
Minimum marks: None — completing the degree is enough.

It is reported that a maximum of 2 girls per family can receive benefits under the scheme’s various components. Before applying, make sure the bank account is Aadhaar-seeded — an unlinked account is the single biggest reason applications get rejected.

Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana Check Status: How to Track Your Application Online

This is the part you came for. The Medhasoft portal lets you check application status for both Class 12 and Graduation. The whole process is online and costs nothing.

Checking Class 12 (Madhyamik+2) application status

Open medhasoft.bih.nic.in and click the “View Application Status of Student” link under the Class 12 section.
Choose either the Aadhaar Number or the Bank Account Number you gave in the application form.
Enter the number and click “Search”.
Your full status appears — a verification status column for each detail (name, Aadhaar, bank account, father’s name, residence etc.) and the final status of the application.
If you have a login ID, you can also check the status directly by logging in to your portal account.

Checking Graduation (Snatak) application status

Go to medhasoft.bih.nic.in and open the “View Application Status of Student” link under the Graduation/Snatak section.
Enter your registration number, select your university, and type your name exactly as on the marksheet.
Complete the OTP verification sent to your registered mobile number.
Click “Get Status” — your current application stage will be displayed.

Payment Status: How to Find Your Name in the Payment List

If your application is approved but the money has not shown up in your account, check the payment list before worrying:

Open the “Student Payment Status” / Payment List Information page on the Medhasoft portal.
Select your university/college from the list.
Enter at least 3 characters of your name and click “View”.
The full payment list opens — use Ctrl+F on desktop (or “Find in page” on mobile) to search your name.
Match your name with the last 3 digits of your Aadhaar number to confirm it is really yours.
If your name is in the list, the payment has been released to your bank account.

For Classes 1–10 benefits, the payment status can be checked separately by selecting the district, school and beneficiary ID.

Every Status Stage Explained + What to Do When You’re Stuck

This is where most applicants get confused — the status shows something, but nobody explains what it means or what to do next. Here is every stage decoded, with the exact action for each:

What the status shows	What it means	What you should do
Waiting for Approval by University	Your university has not yet reviewed your documents	Submit a written application to your university Registrar’s office asking them to expedite data upload, then recheck the portal
Approved	All details matched university records; your name is on the payment list	Nothing — wait for the payment and check your name in the payment list
Payment In Process / Disbursed	Payment is being processed or has been credited	First confirm Aadhaar-DBT seeding at your bank; then check your bank statement / UPI app for the credit
Rejected	Missing documents or ineligibility	Check the reason — do not create a new application; use the portal’s “Re-upload Documents” section to fix and resubmit
A verification column is pending/red	Mistake in name, Aadhaar, bank account or father’s name	Correct and re-upload the document for that specific column

One critical tip: if your status has been stuck at “Payment In Process” for a long time, first visit your bank branch and confirm Aadhaar-DBT seeding. Without it, the money cannot go through — this is the most common reason for stuck payments.

How to Apply Online

If you have not applied yet, here is the step-by-step process:

Open medhasoft.bih.nic.in and choose your component — Mukhyamantri Balika (Snatak) Protsahan Yojana or Mukhyamantri Balika (Madhyamik+2) Protsahan Yojana.
Click “Student Click Here For Apply”, read the instructions, tick both declaration boxes and click “Continue”.
Select your university, enter your registration number and mobile number, and verify with OTP.
Name, father’s name and date of birth auto-fill from university records — verify them carefully.
Fill in bank account details — account number, IFSC code, bank name. Remember: the account must be in your own name.
Upload scanned documents (photo, signature, Aadhaar, marksheets, bank passbook) within the size limits shown on the portal.
Review everything, accept the final declaration and submit.
Save your application/registration number — you will need it for every status check.

Note: applications open only after your university/school uploads your data to the portal. Application windows open and close separately for each component, so check the portal for the current window rather than relying on old dates.

Documents Required

Aadhaar Card (linked to mobile number and bank account)
Graduation marksheet and degree/certificate (scanned copy)
Bank passbook first page (in the girl’s own name, Aadhaar-seeded account)
Bihar residence/domicile certificate
Passport-size photograph and scanned signature
Class 10 marksheet (for name and age matching)
Active mobile number linked to Aadhaar (for OTP)

Money Not Received? Follow This Checklist

Check the payment list for your name and match the last 3 digits of your Aadhaar.
Confirm DBT seeding — visit your bank branch and make sure your account is Aadhaar-seeded for DBT.
Check the bank statement — via UPI apps, mobile banking, the bank helpline or at the branch; sometimes the SMS never arrives but the money does.
Cross-check on the e-Labharthi portal for the DBT payment status.
Contact the helpline — the numbers given on the official portal (9534547098 / 8986294256 / 18003456345), or email: mkuyinter2022@gmail.com (for Inter), mkuysnatakhelp@gmail.com (for Graduation).
Visit a CSC centre or your block office for in-person help.

Protect Yourself from Fraud

The entire process is 100% free. If any agent, shopkeeper or website demands money to “help you apply” or “check your status”, it is a scam. Never share your Aadhaar number, OTP or bank details with strangers. Always apply yourself or through a trusted CSC centre.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How do I check my Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana application status online?

Go to medhasoft.bih.nic.in, open “View Application Status of Student” under your component (Class 12 or Graduation). For Class 12, use your Aadhaar or bank account number; for Graduation, use your registration number + university + name + OTP.

4. Can married girls apply?

No. Being unmarried at the time of graduation is a mandatory condition.

First confirm Aadhaar-DBT seeding at your bank, then check your bank statement/UPI app for recent credits. If it is still missing, call the helpline 9534547098.

7. Is there any application fee?
