Maharashtra government’s ‘Ladki Bahin Yojana‘ has become a very excellent and beneficial scheme for the women of the state. Through this scheme, the government provides financial assistance of ₹ 1500 every month to women, so that they can fulfill their small needs themselves and not depend on anyone. So far 10 (10) installments of this scheme, which started in July 2024, have been released and now all the beneficiaries are eagerly waiting for the 11th installment.
This scheme is bringing a ‘positive’ change in the lives of women by empowering them economically. Know when the 11th installment will come, which women are eligible, and now how to get a loan of up to ₹ 40,000 for self-employment.
When will the 11th installment go and how much amount will be received
According to government reports and media reports, the 11th installment of ‘Ladli Bahin Yojana’ can be transferred to the account of beneficiaries anytime between June 2025. The government has also assured that this time the payment will be made on time so that women do not have to wait much.
As soon as the money is transferred, you will also get information about it through SMS. If for some reason the money does not come, first of all, check your bank balance and DBT status. If there is still a problem, contact the nearest Women and Child Development Department or Gram Panchayat. This is a quick and efficient process.
