Ladli Behna: Does Your Family Qualify for ₹1,250?

Madhya Pradesh's Ladli Behna Yojana gives ₹1,250 every month to eligible women. But government employees are out, and your family income must stay below ₹2.5 lakh per year. Here's who qualifies and what to do next.

Here's what happened: Madhya Pradesh's Ladli Behna Yojana pays ₹1,250 per month directly to eligible women's bank accounts, adding up to ₹15,000 per year.. Government employees — central or state — are NOT eligible. However, women working in private sector jobs CAN apply if total family income is below ₹2.5 lakh annually.. Married, divorced, and widowed women between 21 and 60 years of age who are domiciled in Madhya Pradesh are covered under the scheme..

What you should do: Check your family's total annual income — if it's under ₹2.5 lakh and no member holds a government job, your household likely qualifies.. Gather documents: Aadhaar card, Samagra ID, bank account details (linked to Aadhaar), and domicile proof before visiting your local anganwadi or ward office.. Ensure the bank account is in the woman's own name and linked to her Aadhaar — transfers are DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) and go directly to her account only..

If your family owns a four-wheeler (non-commercial) or over 5 acres of irrigated land, you are automatically disqualified — even if income is below the ₹2.5 lakh limit.
