What is Ladki Bahin Yojana?

Officially called Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana, it is the Government of Maharashtra's monthly cash-support scheme for women.

Ladki Bahin Yojana Benefits

• ₹1,500 every month, or ₹18,000 a year, in the woman's own Aadhaar-linked bank account.
• Payments are made monthly. Sometimes two months are released together.
• Women getting less than ₹1,500 from another government scheme receive the difference.

Setting a little of this aside each month can build a cushion. Compare savings plans or speak to an expert.

Note: Savings and investment plans carry market and other risks. Read the policy brochure carefully before buying. Insurance is the subject matter of solicitation.
