There is bumper good news for crores of Ladli sisters of Mukhyamantri Ladli Behna Yojana. The 26th installment of the scheme is coming soon. The most important thing is that this time, according to the announcement of Mohan Sarkar, apart from the fixed amount of ₹ 1250 of the scheme, an additional ‘shagun’ of ₹ 250 will be sent to the account of the sisters. Along with this, 26 lakh sisters will also get money for cylinder refilling. This is a big relief, which will bring smiles to the faces of the sisters before the festivals.

Change in installment date

Usually, the installment of the scheme was released by the 10th of every month, but from April 2025, the date of distribution of the amount has been changed. During the Cabinet Meeting, Mohan Sarkar had decided that he would send the amount to the account of the sisters around the 15th of every month. This was the reason why the 23rd installment was released on April 16, the 24th installment on May 15, and the 25th installment on June 16. There is a possibility that Mohan Sarkar can release the next installment of the scheme anytime between July 10 and 15. So keep an eye on your passbook or bank statement.

₹ 1500 confirmed every month after Diwali

There is some great news for the Ladli sisters. After Diwali, the amount of the scheme will be increased by ₹ 250 from Bhai Dooj, and ₹ 1500 will be given every month instead of ₹ 1250. Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav himself has said that before Rakshabandhan, an additional amount of ₹ 250 will be sent to all eligible sisters as shagun.

After Diwali, we will give ₹ 1500 every month to all Ladli sisters of the state. Currently, the Ladli sisters are being given an amount of ₹ 1250 per month under the scheme. Under the scheme, the amount will be increased to three thousand rupees per month in a phased manner. This is a big step towards the economic empowerment of women.

What is it? Who got the benefit?

The Ladli Bahana Yojana was started by the previous Shivraj Singh Chouhan government in May 2023. The main objective of this scheme is to economically empower the women of Madhya Pradesh and improve their standard of living. Under this scheme, it was decided to give ₹ 1000 to married women between 21 and 60 years, and the first installment was released on June 10. After this, the amount was increased to ₹ 1250 on Rakshabandhan 2023.

Now, under this scheme, women get ₹ 15,000 annually at the rate of ₹ 1250 per month. A total of 25 installments of monthly financial assistance amount have been transferred to Ladli Behna from June 2023 to June 2025. The Ladli sisters of the state have received benefits of more than ₹ 30 thousand crores so far. Apart from this, special financial assistance of ₹ 250 was also transferred (a total of 2 times) to the beneficiary women in August 2023 and 2024.
