MP's Ladli Behna Yojana August payment delayed past the usual 15th deadline. State may release ₹1,750 per beneficiary ahead of Raksha Bandhan on Aug 28, though officials have not confirmed the bonus.
Beneficiaries of Madhya Pradesh's Ladli Behna Yojana are still waiting for the August installment, which typically arrives by the 15th of each month. As of Sunday, August 16, no deposits have been made, according to local reports.
The delay comes as the state government is expected to release the funds ahead of Raksha Bandhan, which falls on August 28 this year. Speculation is growing that the payment will include an extra ₹250 on top of the usual ₹1,500, bringing the total to ₹1,750 per beneficiary for this month. The Economic Times Hindi reported the potential bonus, but noted the state has not officially confirmed the figure.
Last month, the state transferred ₹1,835 crore to over 1.25 crore women under the scheme's 38th installment, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said on July 12. He described the program as a "revolutionary" initiative and said Madhya Pradesh is committed to women's empowerment, according to PTI.
Under the Ladli Behna Yojana, eligible women receive ₹1,500 per month, up from the original ₹1,000 when the scheme launched in 2023. The funds are deposited directly into recipients' bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system.
Beneficiaries can check their payment status and enrollment details on the official portal. The registration process is offline – applicants must visit their local gram panchayat or ward office to submit forms with required documents.
