Mumbai, December 28: The Maharashtra government's popular Ladki Bahin Yojana turned out to be a game-changer for BJP-led MahaYuti in the 2024 assembly eletions. Under this scheme, eligible women receive INR 1,500 monthly. However, due to the assembly elections, payments were temporarily halted. Now, Ladki Bahin Yojana December installments have resumed, with women starting to receive their dues.

According to a Times Now Marathi report, a key update regarding the scheme is that women must have their Aadhaar card linked to their bank accounts to receive benefits. Those who had applied in July and August but didn’t receive payments due to lack of Aadhaar seeding can now claim their due payments. Women and Child Development Minister Aditi Tatkare confirmed that women who registered during this period and later linked their Aadhaar will receive their Ladki Bahin Yojana payments from the time they applied. When Will Maharashtra Women Receive INR 2,100 per Month Under Ladki Bahin Yojana?
