Students and institutes across Maharashtra report MahaDBT 2.0 login and dashboard glitches today. It is Friday, August 21, 2026. Issues include wrong “Farmer Scrutiny” views, vanished applications, and failed e‑KYC or OTP. The government says the upgrade aims to improve services as migration continues.
Live box, updated for today: students flag login loops, scrambled dashboards, and 0 applications after sign‑in. Several also report OTP delays and Aadhaar reference errors during e‑KYC. We have not seen an official outage note yet. Keep screenshots and your Application ID handy while retrying.

Fresh and renewal applicants, and institute verifiers, face three patterns today. Logins sometimes loop to home. Dashboards show Farmer modules instead of scholarship pages. Earlier applications display zero entries. Use Application ID to re‑fetch status from the tracking page before raising tickets.
Clear cache and cookies, then try a different browser or private window. Switch devices if possible. Re‑login and pull records using your Application ID. If OTP fails, check whether your Aadhaar is locked. Unlock, wait a minute, then retry authentication or use Time‑based One‑Time Password.
First, file a grievance with your Application ID and screenshots. Contact your institute scholarship cell to nudge verification. If unresolved, call the MahaDBT helpline 022‑49150800. For urgent deadline risks, also use the Chief Minister Helpline toll‑free 1800 120 8040 and note ticket numbers.
If helpline steps stall, escalate through Social Justice district offices. Start with the Regional Deputy Commissioner or Assistant Commissioner. Call during working hours and email a concise note with Application ID and deadlines. Contacts appear below; use the Commissionerate directory for other districts.
