You passed your graduation, applied on Medhasoft months ago, and the status is still stuck at “Under Verification.” Or the link you saved last year now reads “registration closed,” and you cannot find the new one. Neither situation means your money is gone. The मुख्यमंत्री कन्या उत्थान योजना list is long and the scheme is active, but the application window, the portal links, and the verification chain all have quirks that trip people up. This guide explains what the scheme pays, who qualifies, how to apply, how to check your status, and what to do when a payment stalls.
The scheme runs entirely through the Medhasoft portal — there is no other authorised online channel for the education-related components. That single fact matters: most scams around this scheme involve lookalike websites charging a “registration fee.”

What Is Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana?
Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana is Bihar’s umbrella scheme for girl children, launched in 2018 and run by the state Education Department. Instead of one lump sum, it pays out at every stage — birth, immunisation, school uniforms, intermediate, and graduation — so that each additional year of a girl’s education carries a visible financial reward.
Early childhood and schooling payments flow automatically through anganwadi centres and schools; families do not file a separate application beyond enrolment and record-keeping. The intermediate and graduation incentives work differently. They are claim-based: the girl or her family applies online once results are declared, and the state verifies the claim against board or university records before releasing the money.
The graduation incentive was raised from ₹25,000 to ₹50,000 in 2021, and as per current guidelines it applies to girls graduating from recognised Bihar universities from 25 April 2018 onward.
मुख्यमंत्री कन्या उत्थान योजना List: Benefits at Each Stage
Here is the benefit structure as per current notifications:
| Stage | Benefit |
|---|---|
| At birth | ₹2,000 |
| Age 1 (Aadhaar registration) | ₹1,000 |
| Age 2 (complete immunisation) | ₹2,000 |
| Sanitary napkin allowance (from upper primary onward) | ₹300 per year |
| School uniform, Classes 1–2 | ₹600 per year |
| School uniform, Classes 3–5 | ₹700 per year |

| Completing graduation | ₹50,000 |
Separately, SC/ST girl students who pass Class 12 with a first or second division can claim a top-up under Medhavriti Yojana — ₹15,000 for first division, ₹10,000 for second.
Eligibility Criteria for Kanya Utthan Yojana Bihar
For the graduation-level benefit (₹50,000):
- A bachelor’s degree (snatak) from a Bihar government-recognised university or degree college
- Unmarried at the time of graduation
- Maximum two daughters per family
- Aadhaar seeded to the bank account used for DBT credit
For the intermediate-level benefit (₹25,000):
- Class 12 (Intermediate/+2) passed from BSEB in the relevant academic year
- Unmarried at the time of passing
- Maximum two daughters per family
The family must be domiciled in Bihar, and the qualifying degree or board result must come from an institution within the state system. An ineligible application typically shows as rejected without any refund of the time spent — so confirm these conditions before you fill the form.
Documents Required for the Kanya Utthan Yojana Form
Keep these ready before you open the mukhyamantri kanya utthan yojana form:
- Aadhaar card of the girl student
- Bank passbook in her own name, Aadhaar-linked and DBT-enabled
- Marksheet plus provisional or degree certificate for the level being claimed
- Bihar residence or domicile proof
- Passport-size photograph and a registered mobile number
- Birth certificate (for early childhood components)
- If there are two girl children in the family, the form must be attested by an Anganwadi worker
For the intermediate incentive, an unmarried declaration in the prescribed format may also be asked for. Scanned copies usually need to be in the format and file size the portal specifies — commonly JPG or PDF, often under a few hundred KB each — so resize them before you start, not midway through the form.
How to Apply Online for Kanya Utthan Yojana
The kanya utthan yojana online apply process runs through medhasoft.bihar.gov.in. Steps:
- Open the correct scheme link. On the Medhasoft homepage, find the section for “Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana — Graduation” or the intermediate equivalent. These links change every cycle, so a bookmarked URL from last year often leads nowhere.
- Register with your mobile number. Enter the number, request an OTP, and verify. Use a number you will still have access to months later — this is the same number that will receive status updates.
- Fill in personal and academic details. Name, date of birth, father’s name, Aadhaar number, university registration number, and the year of passing. Match every field exactly against your marksheet.
- Upload documents. Aadhaar, bank passbook, marksheet, and domicile certificate, in the sizes the portal allows.
- Submit and save your application ID. The confirmation screen shows a registration or application number. Screenshot it and note it somewhere offline — if the portal session expires, you will not be able to retrieve it easily.
Two pitfalls worth knowing. First, long forms time out. If you leave a page idle for too long, the session can drop and your entries are lost — keep documents ready in a folder before you begin, and fill the form in one sitting. Second, the OTP sometimes does not arrive, usually because the mobile number is not the one registered with your university. If it does not come through after a couple of attempts, check with your examination office before trying again the next day.
How to Check Kanya Utthan Yojana Status and Payment
- Open the Application Status section under the Student menu on Medhasoft.
- Select your university from the dropdown exactly as listed. If it is missing, contact your university’s examination office — the data is uploaded by them, not by the state.
- Enter your university registration number precisely. One wrong digit returns no result.
- Verify the OTP sent to your registered mobile. Your application and payment status then appear on screen.
Statuses you will see: Submitted, Under Verification, Approved/Sent for Payment, or Paid. “Under Verification” can sit for weeks while the university reconciles records.
If the status shows Paid but no money has arrived, the problem is almost always at the bank end. Check whether your Aadhaar is seeded to that account — most banks offer this through net banking, and the UIDAI portal (uidai.gov.in) also lets you check Aadhaar-bank linking status. An unseeded account will bounce the DBT credit back to the state.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Wrong registration number. A single digit off returns an empty result, and people often conclude the application was rejected.
- Bank account not Aadhaar-seeded. DBT payments cannot be credited otherwise.
- Missing the window. The graduation application typically opens around July and closes in late October, but dates shift each cycle. Verify on the portal.
- Applying on unofficial sites. Medhasoft is the only authorised channel. No legitimate step in this process requires a fee.
FAQs About Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana
Q1: Is the Bihar Graduation Scholarship the same as Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana?
Yes. What is commonly called the Bihar Graduation Scholarship 2026 is the graduation component of this scheme. Same portal, same application.
Q2: What is the kanya utthan yojana last date for 2026?
Deadlines shift by cycle. In the most recent cycle, universities were directed to upload eligible graduates’ data by 15 May 2026, with the student application window following. Confirm the current date on medhasoft.bihar.gov.in before you rely on it.
Q3: Can I still apply for kanya utthan yojana 2021 benefits?
The scheme runs in annual cycles. If you graduated in 2021 or later from a recognised Bihar university and meet the other conditions, watch for the next window. Whether past-year graduates can apply in a current cycle depends on that cycle’s notification.
Q4: How do I check my name in the mukhyamantri kanya utthan yojana list?
Use the Application Status feature on Medhasoft: enter your university registration number, verify via OTP, and your approval and payment stage will show.
Q5: What is mukhyamantri kanya utthan yojana snatak?
“Snatak” means graduation-level. The mukhyamantri snatak kanya utthan yojana — formally Mukhyamantri Kanya Protsahan Yojana in some notifications — is the ₹50,000 payout to unmarried girl graduates from Bihar universities.
Q6: My payment is stuck. What now?
First, confirm your bank account is active and Aadhaar-seeded. If it is, contact your university’s examination office — they coordinate verification with the Education Department. A helpline contact is listed on the Medhasoft portal.
Final Thoughts
Most delays in this scheme trace back to two things: a registration number typed wrong, or a bank account that is not Aadhaar-seeded. Both are fixable, and neither requires paying anyone. If your status has been stuck at “Under Verification” for more than six to eight weeks, do not wait for it to move on its own — follow up with your university’s examination office, because the bottleneck is almost always at the data-verification stage, not with the state. And before every new cycle, re-check the Medhasoft homepage rather than relying on an old link; the scheme’s rules, amounts, and dates can be revised by official notification, so the portal remains the only source worth trusting.
