Ladki Bahin Yojana 2026: The start of the new year 2026 has brought welcome news for millions of women in the state. Payments under the Ladki Bahin Yojana have resumed, with money being deposited into the accounts of beneficiary women. This update is crucial for women who have not received the ₹1500 payment for the past two months.
According to government information, women who have completed the e-KYC process have received one month’s installment of ₹1500 in their bank accounts.
Ladki Bahin Yojana: Relief on the first day of the new year
Receiving the money in their accounts on the very first day of the new year is nothing short of a gift for the women beneficiaries. For a long time, women had been wondering when they would receive the payments for November, December, and January. Currently, the government has released one month’s installment, making it clear that the scheme is back on track.
Why were the payments stopped for the last two months?
Approximately 2 crore women in the state have been benefiting from this scheme for the past year and a half. Under the scheme, eligible women receive ₹1500 every month.
- Payments were not received in November and December after October.
- There was speculation in many places that the three months’ payment would be released together as ₹4500.
- However, there was no official confirmation from the government.
Now, with ₹1500 being deposited into accounts since December 31st, the situation has become somewhat clearer.
Only those who completed e-KYC received the money
The Women and Child Development Department had made e-KYC mandatory for the scheme. The objective was to weed out fraudulent beneficiaries.
- Initially, the last date for e-KYC was set as November 18th.
- Later, it was extended to December 31st.
- Now, only those women who completed the e-KYC within the stipulated time have received the ₹1500.
- Women who have not completed the e-KYC are currently not receiving the benefits of the scheme.
When will the December and January payments be released?
Currently, the government has only released one month’s installment. There has been no clear official announcement regarding the remaining payments for December and January. It is believed that the government may decide on this soon, but until then, the beneficiaries will have to wait.
