Mumbai, August 31: With August nearly over, lakhs of women in Maharashtra are still waiting for their 14th instalment of INR 1,500 under the Ladki Bahin Yojana. The monthly financial aid, which was started to support eligible women across the state, has seen delays before, and this month is no different. Since the Ladki Bahin Yojana’s launch in July 2024, 13 instalments have been disbursed until July 2025. But the August instalment has yet to be credited into the beneficiaries' bank accounts.

This isn't the first delay. In the early phase, the first three payments for June, July, and August 2024 were given together in August when the scheme was launched before the state elections. Last month, beneficiaries had hoped to receive both July payments much earlier, but it was only credited on Rakshabandhan. Now, with August almost over, the delay in the INR 1,500 payment is causing concern among the scheme’s beneficiaries. Ladki Bahin Yojana To Be Stopped?
