Ladli Behna Yojana 39th Instalment: INR 1,500 May Arrive Early Ahead of Raksha Bandhan

The Madhya Pradesh government may release the 39th instalment of the Ladli Behna Yojana before the usual payment date, with beneficiaries potentially receiving INR 1,500 ahead of Raksha Bandhan. However, the state government has not yet officially confirmed an early release date.

The scheme provides eligible women in Madhya Pradesh with monthly financial assistance through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). According to the latest update, 38 instalments have already been disbursed and the 39th payment is now due.

When Will The 39th Instalment Be Released?

The Ladli Behna Yojana instalment is generally transferred between the first and 15th day of the month. Based on the usual payment schedule, the August 2026 instalment could reach beneficiaries around August 15.

However, reports suggest that the government may release the payment earlier as a Raksha Bandhan gift. There is no official confirmation yet on an early payment date. Ladli Behna Yojana August 2026: Will 39th Instalment Be Credited Before Raksha Bandhan? Check Details.

Eligible beneficiaries are expected to receive INR 1,500 under the 39th instalment.

The scheme was launched in 2023 with a monthly payment of INR 1,000. The amount was subsequently increased to INR 1,250 and currently stands at INR 1,500 per month.
