Ladli Behna Yojana: ₹3,000 Monthly Amount Confirmed! Here’s the Truth and the Exact Year You’ll Get It
Ladli Behna Yojana: The Ladli Behna Yojana, a significant financial assistance scheme for women in Madhya Pradesh, has been a topic of much discussion, especially concerning a potential increase in its monthly payout. Beneficiaries currently receive ₹1,500, but widespread claims suggest this amount could double to ₹3,000. While the Mohan Yadav government has addressed these claims, it’s crucial for beneficiaries to understand the official timeline and what to expect in the coming years.
The Truth About the ₹3,000 Promise
Recent announcements have brought clarity to the situation. The claim that the Ladli Behna Yojana amount will increase to ₹3,000 is true, but this enhancement will not be immediate. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has confirmed a structured, year-on-year increase for the scheme.
The government’s plan is to gradually raise the financial assistance, ensuring a steady rise in support for the state’s women. The amount will not jump directly to ₹3,000. Instead, beneficiaries can expect the monthly payment to reach this figure by the year 2028.
Here is the official timeline for the planned increase:
