The Samagra portal at samagra.gov.in is Madhya Pradesh’s single database for welfare delivery. Every family in the state gets an 8-digit family Samagra ID, and every member of that family gets a 9-digit member ID. You need these numbers for almost every MP government service — pensions, scholarships, ration, and scheme applications. This guide covers how to log in, how to find a Samagra ID you have lost or never noted down, and how to finish the Aadhaar e-KYC that the state now insists on.
What Is the Samagra Portal?
Samagra runs under Madhya Pradesh’s Samagra Samajik Suraksha Mission (SSSM). The idea is simple: register every family once, give it one ID, and let every department read from the same record instead of collecting the same documents again and again.
Two numbers matter:
- Family Samagra ID — an 8-digit number issued to the household as a unit.
- Member Samagra ID — a 9-digit number issued to each individual person in that household.
When a form asks for “Samagra ID” without specifying, it usually means the 9-digit member ID. When it asks for “Parivar ID” or family ID, it means the 8-digit one.
One clarification before we go further: the Samagra portal is a Madhya Pradesh identity and welfare database. It is not to be confused with the Samagra Shiksha scheme, which is a central school-education programme with a similar name but a completely different purpose.
Who Needs a Samagra ID?
Anyone who lives in Madhya Pradesh and wants to use a state government service. In practice, a Samagra ID is asked for when you:
- apply for a state scholarship or pension
- get a ration card or draw PDS ration
- apply under state welfare schemes — see this list of major sarkari yojanas for what typically requires it
- take admission in a government school or college in MP
- apply for caste, income, or domicile certificates through MP e-District
If your family has lived in MP for years, an ID almost certainly already exists — it was created during past survey drives. Your job is usually to *find* it, not to create it. New families (or families that moved into the state) can apply through their Gram Panchayat, Janpad, or urban ward office, and the portal also has an online new-family registration option under its “Samagra ID” menu.
How to Log In to the Samagra Portal
There is no username-and-password login for citizens. The citizen login works on your registered mobile number and an OTP.
- Go to samagra.gov.in and look for the profile/citizen login option — the direct page is samagra.gov.in/Citizen/RFC/RequestLogin.aspx.
- Enter the mobile number that is registered against your Samagra record.
- Type the captcha shown on the screen.
- Enter the OTP that arrives by SMS.
- You land in your Samagra profile. From here you can view family details, print your family or member card, and raise correction requests.
Two things trip people up. First, the OTP goes only to the mobile number *registered in the Samagra database* — not to any number you type. If your registered number is old or belongs to a relative, you must first get it updated through e-KYC or your local body office. Second, if you see a separate login at spr.samagra.gov.in asking for a username, that is the departmental login for authorised local-body and government users, not for citizens.
How to Find Your Samagra ID
If you do not know your ID, the portal’s homepage has a “Know your Samagra ID” section with two useful search routes.
Search by family ID (if anyone in the house knows it):
- Open samagra.gov.in and go to the family-member search option in the “Know your Samagra ID” section.
- Enter the 8-digit family ID and the captcha.
- The portal lists every member of the family with their 9-digit member IDs.
Search by registered mobile number:
- From the same section, choose the search-by-mobile option.
- Enter the registered mobile number, the member’s age group or partial details as asked, and the captcha.
- Your member ID appears on screen.
If neither works — no known family ID, no registered mobile — visit your Gram Panchayat secretary or ward office with your Aadhaar. They can look you up by name and village/ward. Old scheme documents are also worth checking: ration cards, scholarship forms, and school records in MP often carry the Samagra ID printed on them.
How to Complete Samagra e-KYC with Aadhaar
MP now requires Aadhaar e-KYC on Samagra records before most benefits flow. e-KYC links your 9-digit member ID with your Aadhaar, verifies your name and details against the Aadhaar database, and updates your registered mobile number in the process.
- On the samagra.gov.in homepage, click the e-KYC link (it opens samagra.gov.in/Citizen/RFC/AdhaarRequest.aspx).
- Enter your 9-digit member Samagra ID and the captcha.
- Verify yourself with the OTP sent to your mobile number.
- Choose Aadhaar verification — OTP on your Aadhaar-linked mobile, or biometric at a kiosk if your Aadhaar has no linked mobile.
- Confirm the details pulled from Aadhaar and submit.
If the name or details on your Samagra record differ from Aadhaar, the e-KYC becomes a correction request that goes to your local body for approval. That approval can take a few days to a few weeks; the portal lets you track the request with the request ID it generates. Once e-KYC is done, keep digital copies of your Aadhaar and other records handy in DigiLocker — here is a plain guide to what DigiLocker is and how to use it.
How to Update Family Details
Beyond e-KYC, the portal handles most record changes through online request flows, each routed to your Gram Panchayat or ward office for approval:
- Add a new member to an existing family (newborns, new daughters-in-law)
- Remove a member or mark a death in the record
- Correct date of birth or marital status
- Family migration — move your record when you shift residence within MP
- Family split — separate a joint household into two family IDs
Each of these starts from the citizen login described above. File the request, note the request ID, and follow up with your local body if it sits pending.
Documents You May Need
| Task | What you need |
|---|---|
| Citizen login | Registered mobile number (for OTP) |
| Find your Samagra ID | 8-digit family ID, or registered mobile number |
| Aadhaar e-KYC | 9-digit member ID, Aadhaar number, Aadhaar-linked mobile or biometric |
| New family registration | Aadhaar of members, address proof, via local body or online form |
| Add newborn to family | Birth certificate, parent’s Samagra ID |
| DOB or name correction | Aadhaar / birth certificate / school record as proof |
Troubleshooting and Help
- OTP not arriving. Your registered mobile is probably outdated. Complete e-KYC (which refreshes the mobile number from Aadhaar) or update it at your local body office.
- e-KYC stuck pending. Requests that involve a detail mismatch wait for local-body approval. Track them on the portal with your request ID, and escalate at the Panchayat or ward office if nothing moves.
- Details wrong after e-KYC. Raise the specific correction request (DOB, marital status, and so on) from your profile rather than repeating e-KYC.
- Portal not opening. The site can reject very old browsers; use an updated Chrome or Firefox.
- Helpline. The portal lists 0755-2700800 and [email protected] as its support contacts (samagra.gov.in, verified July 2026).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 8-digit and 9-digit Samagra ID?
The 8-digit number is the family (Parivar) ID issued to the whole household. The 9-digit number is the member ID issued to each individual person. Most application forms want the 9-digit member ID.
Can I log in to the Samagra portal without a registered mobile number?
No. The citizen login works only through an OTP sent to the mobile number registered in your Samagra record. If that number is outdated, update it through Aadhaar e-KYC or at your Gram Panchayat or ward office first.
How do I find my Samagra ID by name?
The portal’s public search works by family ID or registered mobile number. If you have neither, your Gram Panchayat secretary or ward office can search the database by name and locality. Old ration cards and scholarship forms often have the ID printed on them too.
Is Samagra e-KYC mandatory?
For most Madhya Pradesh welfare benefits, yes — the state requires the Samagra record to be Aadhaar-verified before payments and benefits are released. Completing e-KYC once covers you across schemes.
Is Samagra ID the same as Aadhaar?
No. Aadhaar is a national 12-digit identity number. Samagra ID is a Madhya Pradesh state ID used for welfare delivery. e-KYC links the two, but they remain separate numbers.
Can people outside Madhya Pradesh get a Samagra ID?
Samagra is an MP-specific system, but the portal has a non-resident registration module for people who need an MP record without living in the state — for example, for property or scheme purposes. Regular residents should register through their local body.
Is the Samagra portal the same as Samagra Shiksha?
No. Samagra (samagra.gov.in) is Madhya Pradesh’s family-ID and social-security database. Samagra Shiksha is a Government of India school-education programme. Only the name is similar.
