How do I get a Maha ID through MahaSarathi?

Create your Maha ID on the official Maharashtra MahaSarathi portal. Prepare your Aadhaar and linked mobile for OTP verification; use a Virtual ID where offered. The ration-card route has its own verification steps. A participating SETU or Maha e-Seva centre may assist; confirm availability before visiting. An eSetu account does not create a government Maha ID.
