MP CM releases 41st Ladli Behna Yojana instalment of Rs 1,834 crore
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Wednesday, 14 October 2026, released the 41st instalment of the Mukhyamantri Ladli Behna Yojana from Guruwahi village in Umaria district. About 1.25 crore women received more than Rs 1,834 crore directly into their bank accounts.
On the same day, a subsidy of Rs 115.10 crore under the Rs 450 gas cylinder refill scheme was also transferred to over 23 lakh eligible women. The scheme, launched in June 2023, provides monthly financial aid to women aged 21 to 60 with an annual family income not exceeding Rs 2.5 lakh.
The monthly assistance started at Rs 1,000 and has been increased to Rs 1,500. A budget of Rs 23,882 crore has been allocated for the scheme for FY2026-27. Beneficiaries can check payment status on the official website cmladlibahna.mp.gov.in.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The release of the 41st instalment underlines the scale of the Ladli Behna Yojana, now covering 1.25 crore women with a single disbursement of over Rs 1,834 crore. The simultaneous transfer of gas cylinder subsidies shows the government bundling welfare payments to maximise political impact during Navratri. While the scheme's budget for FY2026-27 is set at Rs 23,882 crore, the article does not specify how many new beneficiaries have been added since the scheme began, leaving the programme's expansion rate unclear. The next milestone will be the 42nd instalment, due in November 2026.
