Our honest advice: Do not believe any “confirmed date” on WhatsApp until the government announces it. Once the CM presses the button, money usually reaches most accounts the same day or within two or three days.
What Is Ladli Behna Yojana?
Mukhyamantri Ladli Behna Yojana is a Madhya Pradesh government scheme that gives a fixed amount every month to eligible women, directly in their bank account. It started in June 2023, and since then the state has paid 40 installments in a row.
The money is meant to help women manage household needs, children’s education and health, and to give them some financial independence.
How the Monthly Amount Has Grown
| Period | Monthly amount |
|---|---|
| June 2023 to September 2023 | ₹1,000 |
| October 2023 to October 2025 | ₹1,250 |
| November 2025 onwards | ₹1,500 |
What does this mean for you? The amount has gone up one and a half times since the start. Today, each eligible woman gets ₹1,500 a month, which is ₹18,000 a year.
Extra money on Raksha Bandhan: In August 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, the government also gave an extra ₹250 as a Rakhi shagun. That is why the August 2026 installment (39th) showed ₹1,750 in many accounts. It was a one-time festival gift, not a permanent increase.

| 40th | 13 September 2026 | Agar Malwa | ₹1,500 |
| 41st | Expected mid-October 2026 (reported for 14 October, from Umaria) | To be confirmed | ₹1,500 |
40th Installment in Numbers

| Women who got the 40th kist | 1,25,10,150 |
| Total amount sent | About ₹1,835.09 crore |

| Budget for 2026-27 | About ₹23,883 crore |
Is Ladli Behna Yojana Closing? (Fact Check)
In early October 2026, a video went viral in which CM Mohan Yadav said the scheme has become costly and is a big financial responsibility. Many people took this to mean the scheme would end.
Here is what is actually known:
- There has been no official announcement to stop the scheme.
- The state has kept ₹23,883 crore for the scheme in the 2026-27 budget, about 28% more than last year.
- The Cabinet has approved funds to continue the scheme up to 2030-31.
- News reports on 13 October 2026, citing sources, said the government will not close the scheme and the 41st kist is on its way.
Bottom line: As of today, the scheme is running, and the 41st kist is expected this month.
Who Gets the Ladli Behna Kist?
Eligibility
- A woman who is a permanent resident of Madhya Pradesh.
- Married, including widows, divorced women and women abandoned by their husbands.
- Age 21 to 60 years.
- Family income below ₹2.5 lakh a year.
Who Is Not Eligible
- Women whose family has an income tax payer.
- Women whose family member is a government employee (regular, permanent or contractual) or gets a government pension.
- Families that own a four-wheeler (a tractor is allowed).
Important: When a woman crosses 60 years of age, she is usually moved out of this scheme. Women who get a social security pension of less than ₹1,500 get the difference amount under Ladli Behna.
