Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana 2026

Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana is a flagship financial empowerment scheme launched by the Government of Maharashtra in July 2024. It provides ₹1,500 per month directly into the Aadhaar-linked bank accounts of eligible women, aiming to improve financial independence, health, nutrition, and decision-making power for women across Maharashtra.

The scheme was designed specifically for the socio-economic empowerment of women, ensuring that money reaches beneficiaries directly without any middlemen through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system. Since its launch, the scheme has enrolled millions of women across Maharashtra.
