Summary of this article
August instalment remains pending for Ladli Behna beneficiaries.
Regular monthly assistance under the scheme is Rs 1,500.
Payment date and additional amount await official confirmation.
The August instalment of Madhya Pradesh’s Ladli Behna Yojana has not yet been credited to beneficiaries’ accounts. Women receiving the monthly benefit were expecting the 39th payment by now, as the money is generally transferred around the middle of each month.
As of August 16, the state government had not announced the date for the August payment. This has led to uncertainty among beneficiaries waiting for the money.
Some news reports have suggested that the instalment may be released ahead of Raksha Bandhan, which will be celebrated on August 28. There is, however, no official confirmation from the Madhya Pradesh government on the payment date.
There is also speculation over the amount that could be credited this month. The Economic Times Hindi has reported that women may receive Rs 1,750 in August. This figure includes the regular Rs 1,500 monthly assistance and a possible extra Rs 250. The additional amount has not been confirmed by the state government.
Ladli Behna Monthly Payment
The Ladli Behna Yojana currently provides Rs 1,500 every month to eligible women in Madhya Pradesh. The monthly assistance was earlier Rs 1,000.
The government transferred the 38th instalment in July. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced on July 12 that Rs 1,835 crore had been deposited among more than 1.25 crore women under the scheme.
Payments under the scheme are made using the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system. The money is sent directly to the beneficiary’s bank account.

Women who are permanent residents of Madhya Pradesh can apply for the scheme if they satisfy the eligibility rules. The age limit is 21 to 59 years.
