For millions of women across Karnataka, the Gruhalakshmi Scheme has become a crucial source of monthly financial support. This initiative, launched by the state government, aims to empower women from economically weaker households by providing a monthly Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) of ₹2,000. Over the years, the scheme has helped reduce financial stress in countless families, enabling women to take charge of household expenses more confidently.
Recently, beneficiaries across the state were eagerly waiting for the 22nd installment under the Gruhalakshmi Scheme. Many had been asking, “When will the next payment arrive?” or “Has the government released the pending installment?”
Now, finally, there is good news.
22nd Installment of Gruhalakshmi Scheme Released Across Karnataka
The Karnataka government has officially begun depositing the 22nd installment of ₹2,000 into the bank accounts of eligible women beneficiaries. According to field reports and bank updates, deposits have already begun in several districts, bringing immense relief to women who had been waiting for the funds for several weeks.
Districts Where Payments Have Already Started
- Haveri
- Davanagere
- Mysuru
- Kalaburagi
- Vijayapura
- Shivamogga
- Tumakuru
…and many more.
Beneficiaries from these districts have confirmed receiving SMS notifications from their banks indicating successful DBT transfers. Messages such as “DBT CREDIT – Gruhalakshmi” or “SSP Payment” are appearing in bank alerts, signalling that the funds have been deposited.
Reason for Delay in Deposits
Though payments have begun, not every beneficiary has received the 22nd installment yet. The government has clarified that technical issues and banking network delays caused a slight hold-up in certain districts. However, officials have assured that every eligible woman will receive the payment soon, and the distribution process is currently underway across the state.
Many women experienced delays because:
- Their bank accounts required Aadhaar seeding or KYC updates
- There were mismatches in bank account names and Aadhaar details
- Network failures in remote areas slowed DBT processing
- Updating of beneficiary lists took longer than expected
Despite these challenges, the government is now actively working to ensure that no beneficiary is left out.
How Long Does DBT Transfer Usually Take?
Once the government releases a payment order, it typically takes 7 to 15 days for the DBT amount to reflect in a beneficiary’s bank account. This timeframe may vary based on:
- Bank processing speeds
- Aadhaar and account verification
- Festival holidays or weekends
- High load on banking servers
Beneficiaries are advised to check their accounts regularly during this period.

If your ration card has errors or mismatched member names, it can lead to DBT rejection.
4. Contact Your Bank Branch
Banks can confirm:
- Whether a payment attempt was made
- If the transaction failed
- Whether your account is active
5. Update Details on the DBT Portal
Corrections can be made if:
- Bank account number has changed
- Aadhaar is not linked
- Mobile number is not updated
