A significant news for them who are the beneficiaries of this popular government scheme. Just before the Diwali 2025, a big news has arrived. Maharashtra Chief Minister Narhari Jhirwal clarified that the Majhi Ladki Behen Yojana will not be discontinued under any circumstances. This scheme aims to provide economic independence to women between the ages of 21 and 65, and its benefits are reaching millions of women.
Under this scheme, female beneficiaries receive financial assistance of ₹1,500 per month, improving their quality of life. Some rules have recently been changed so that only truly eligible women can receive benefits. Under the new rules, women will now also have to complete the verification process for their spouses.
Amount can increase?
Narhari Jhirwal also indicated that, if necessary, an increase in the financial assistance amount would be considered, providing more financial support to women. He made this statement at a rally in Dahanu, Palghar district, and also expressed his support for Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. This scheme is a major step towards economically empowering women in the state. It will not only improve the economic status of families but also strengthen their social status. Regular financial assistance to eligible women under the scheme will increase their self-reliance and enable them to better manage their families. Applications for the Ladki Behen Yojana can be made both online and offline. It is essential to carefully read the scheme’s rules and eligibility requirements before applying correctly. Furthermore, strict rules have been established to prevent fraudulent beneficiaries, including annual family income limits and the exclusion of family members of government employees from eligibility.
This Diwali, this will be good news and a major financial boost for women in Maharashtra. The Ladki Behen Yojana will continue to bring stability and prosperity to women’s lives, and the government will continue to support it.
