Women beneficiaries of Madhya Pradesh Government’s popular Ladli Behna Yojana may soon receive the next installment under the scheme. Reports suggest that Chief Minister Mohan Yadav is expected to transfer the 36th installment amount on May 13, 2026.

Under the scheme, eligible women receive monthly financial assistance directly in their bank accounts. However, officials have now made it clear that beneficiaries who have not completed their eKYC process may face delays in receiving the upcoming ₹1,500 installment.

With over 1.25 crore women expected to receive payments, authorities are urging beneficiaries to complete Aadhaar-based verification as soon as possible.

What Is Ladli Behna Yojana?

Ladli Behna Yojana is one of Madhya Pradesh’s flagship welfare schemes aimed at improving the financial independence of women.

Under the program:

• Eligible women receive ₹1,500 every month
• Money is transferred directly into bank accounts
• The scheme focuses on economic empowerment and financial support

The initiative was launched in May 2023 and has become one of the state’s largest women-centric welfare programs.

36th Installment Expected on May 13

According to reports, preparations are underway for the release of the next installment.

Key Highlights

Although an official announcement is still awaited, reports indicate that the installment transfer event may be held in Narsinghpur.

Previous Installment Was Released in April

The 35th installment under the scheme was reportedly transferred on April 12, 2026, from Ashta in Sehore district.

Since the scheme’s launch:

• A total of 35 installments have already been distributed
• Crores of women have benefited financially

The first installment was released on June 10, 2023.

eKYC Made Mandatory for Beneficiaries

The state government has now made eKYC compulsory for all beneficiaries.

Officials have warned that:

• Women who fail to complete eKYC
• Aadhaar verification remains pending
• Bank account details are not properly linked

may not receive the upcoming installment.

This move has been introduced to:

• Eliminate duplicate beneficiaries
• Improve transparency
• Ensure payments reach genuine recipients

Why eKYC Is Important

According to officials, eKYC helps verify:

• Identity
• Aadhaar details
• Mobile number linkage
• Bank account authenticity

Without successful verification, installment payments can get delayed or temporarily stopped.
