The BJP government led by Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav typically transfers ₹1,250 to Ladli Behna accounts in the second week of the month. However, this year, the festive season and the announcement of the increased amount have sparked discussions among Ladli Behna women about whether this good news will arrive on time or whether a bigger gift will be given after Diwali. Find out the latest and important information regarding the 29th installment of the scheme and the increased amount here.
29th Installment Date and Increased Gift
The Ladli Behna Yojana has financially empowered over 12.6 million women in the state. The previous installment, the 28th, was released on September 12, 2025, transferring a whopping ₹1,541 crore.
Installment Amount Will Increase After Diwali
This year, Diwali falls on October 20th and 21st, while Bhai Dooj falls on October 23rd. Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has announced plans to make Bhai Dooj a special occasion for Ladli Behens. He has clarified from various platforms that Ladli Behens will begin receiving the increased monthly amount of ₹1,500 after Diwali.
How much will the increased amount be
Currently, beneficiary women receive an installment of ₹1,250 per month, but this amount will now increase by ₹250. It is not yet clear whether this increased installment will be for October or November, but certainly, all future installments will now be paid at the rate of ₹1,500. Sending ₹1,500 instead of ₹1,250 will impose an additional financial burden of approximately ₹318 crore on the state government.
Ladli Behna’s Amount to Reach ₹3,000 in the Future
Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has also set a long-term goal for the Ladli Behna Scheme. He has made a major announcement regarding plans. The Chief Minister has firmly stated that this monthly amount will be further increased in the coming years. His goal is to increase this amount to ₹3,000 per month by 2028. This unprecedented announcement ensures a strong financial foundation for Ladli Behna.
Financial Support During Festivals
Since Ladli Behna’s installments usually arrive in the second week of the month, Ladli Behna can expect the 29th installment soon. The increased ₹1,500 amount around major festivals like Diwali and Bhai Dooj will provide financial support to millions of families and multiply their happiness.
