Gruhalakshmi Scheme: Has ₹2,000 Still Not Been Credited to Your Bank Account? Don’t Panic — Do This One Small Step and the Amount May Be Credited Immediately!
The Gruhalakshmi Scheme, launched by the Karnataka Government, has become one of the most impactful welfare schemes aimed at empowering women financially. Under this flagship initiative, eligible women heads of families receive ₹2,000 every month directly into their bank accounts, helping them manage household expenses with dignity and independence.
However, over the last few months, many beneficiaries have been worried as the amount was not credited on time. Questions like “Has the scheme stopped?”, “Will we receive the pending money?” and “Why hasn’t the amount reached my account?” were common across the state.
Now, there is clear and reassuring news. According to a recent official announcement, the long wait is finally coming to an end.
Green Signal for the 24th Installment of Gruhalakshmi Scheme ✅
Women and Child Development Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar, while speaking in Belagavi, confirmed that the Finance Department has officially approved the release of the 24th installment of the Gruhalakshmi Scheme.
This means:
- The ₹2,000 installment is fully approved
- Funds will be transferred through DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer)
- Money will reach the bank accounts of eligible women beneficiaries very soon
This announcement has brought relief and confidence to nearly 1.3 crore women across Karnataka.
When Will the ₹2,000 Be Credited?
As per government sources and departmental updates:
- The payment process is expected to begin between December 29 and January 3
- The amount will be credited in phases, not to everyone on the same day
- Payments may vary based on districts, banks, and technical processing
So, if someone you know receives the money before you do, there is no need to worry. Your turn may come within a few days.
What About Pending Amounts From September to November?
This is one of the most frequently asked questions.
The government has clearly stated that:
- Pending installments for September, October, and November will also be released
- However, they will not be credited all at once
- The pending amount will be paid gradually in a phased manner
This ensures smooth fund distribution without technical overload on banking systems.
Haven’t Received the Money Yet? Do These Checks Immediately ⚠️
If the installment has not reached your account while others have received it, the issue is usually technical, not eligibility-related. Follow these steps carefully:
1️⃣ Check Your Bank KYC Status
- Ensure your KYC is fully completed
- Incomplete KYC can block DBT payments
- Visit your bank branch and confirm your status
2️⃣ Verify Aadhaar–Bank Linking (NPCI Seeding)
- Your Aadhaar number must be linked to your bank account
- NPCI mapping is mandatory for DBT benefits
- Ask your bank whether DBT is enabled for your account
3️⃣ Check Scheme Status Online
You can check your Gruhalakshmi status through:
- Official Food Department portal
- Women and Child Development Department platforms
- “Gruhalakshmi Status” option available online

In many cases, the money is already credited even if no SMS is received.
