MP Govt to Credit ₹1500 Under Ladli Behna Yojana Ahead of Raksha Bandhan
Women in Madhya Pradesh who are eagerly awaiting the 27th installment of the Ladli Behna Yojana have reason to rejoice — this August, the amount they receive will increase from ₹1250 to ₹1500. The special bonus is being given in celebration of Raksha Bandhan, and Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has already confirmed the announcement.
The Ladli Behna Yojana, which benefits over 1.27 crore women across Madhya Pradesh, has become a significant financial support scheme for sisters in the state. This festive season, the government has decided to grant an additional ₹250 as a Raksha Bandhan “shagun”, making the total installment amount for August ₹1500.
Let’s break down what you can expect, when you will receive the money, and how the scheme is evolving.
🎁 ₹1500 to Be Deposited Ahead of Raksha Bandhan
Raksha Bandhan falls on August 9, 2025, and many beneficiaries have been wondering whether they will receive their funds before the festival. According to the latest updates, the MP government is planning to credit ₹250 as a shagun before August 9, so women can enjoy the festival with a financial gift from the state.
The remaining ₹1250, which is the regular monthly installment, is expected to be credited after August 10, though the government hasn’t officially confirmed the exact date yet.
There’s also the possibility that the entire ₹1500 amount may be credited at once before Raksha Bandhan, but an official announcement is still awaited. Either way, the government seems determined to ensure that the festive bonus reaches beneficiaries on time.
💸 Two-Part Payment Likely for August
-
₹250 shagun: Likely to be credited before August 9, 2025
-
₹1250 monthly installment: Expected to be credited post August 10, 2025
This two-phase payment system is based on past trends observed this financial year, where disbursements have generally been made after the 10th of every month. However, the festival timing has prompted the administration to consider advancing the bonus portion.
🔄 From August to November: What's Changing?
CM Mohan Yadav has made it clear that the ₹1500 monthly amount will become the new norm starting November 2025, right after Bhai Dooj. Until then, the increase in August appears to be a one-time festive gesture.
Here’s what the timeline looks like:
| Month | Installment Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| August 2025 | ₹1500 | Includes ₹250 Raksha Bandhan bonus |
| Sept–Oct | ₹1250 (likely) | No bonus unless new announcement made |
| November → | ₹1500 | Permanent monthly increase starts post-Diwali |
✅ How to Ensure You Receive the Benefit
If you're a registered beneficiary of the Ladli Behna Yojana:
-
Ensure your bank account is active and linked to your scheme records.
-
Double-check your e-KYC is completed and up to date.
-

📢 Government’s Focus on Empowering Women
The Ladli Behna Yojana is part of a larger vision by the Madhya Pradesh government to empower women economically, especially those from low-income and rural backgrounds. With consistent monthly payments and festive bonuses, the scheme aims to strengthen financial inclusion and self-reliance among women.
📌 Final Takeaway
The 27th installment of Ladli Behna Yojana is set to bring ₹1500 into your account this August, thanks to a festive bonus for Raksha Bandhan. While ₹250 is expected before August 9, the remaining ₹1250 will likely follow after August 10.
