The Ladli Behna Yojana continues to be a lifeline for millions of women in Madhya Pradesh as we enter 2026. Beneficiaries across the state are currently waiting for the 32nd installment of the scheme. With the new year, there are also rising questions about the promised increase in the monthly amount to ₹3000 and when the third round of registrations will begin for those who missed out.
Here is the complete and latest report on the Ladli Behna Yojana for January 2026, including payment dates, amount details, and official announcements from Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav.
When Will the 32nd Installment Be Released?
Usually, the Madhya Pradesh government transfers the Ladli Behna Yojana money on the 10th of every month. However, for January 2026, reports suggest a slight adjustment in the schedule due to official events.
While beneficiaries are expecting the money on January 10, 2026, new updates indicate that Chief Minister Mohan Yadav may release the funds during a special state-level program on January 12, 2026. This date coincides with National Youth Day (Swami Vivekananda Jayanti). The government often aligns these large Direct Benefit Transfers (DBT) with public events to interact with the “Ladli Behna” beneficiaries directly.
If you do not receive the SMS today (January 10), do not panic. The window for the 32nd installment transfer is open between January 10 and January 15, 2026.
Current Amount: Will You Get ₹1500 or ₹3000?
There is a lot of confusion regarding the payment amount for January 2026. Let’s clarify the official status:
- Current Payment: Eligible women will receive ₹1500 in their bank accounts this month. The amount was previously increased from ₹1250 to ₹1500 in late 2025.
- The ₹3000 Promise: The state government has promised to eventually hike the amount to ₹3000 per month. However, this increase is happening in phases. As of January 2026, the official installment remains ₹1500. There has been no official government order (GO) released yet for the hike to ₹3000 this month.
Ladli Behna Yojana 3rd Round Registration (Teesra Charan)
Many women who missed the first two rounds of registration are eagerly waiting for the Third Round (Teesra Charan). This includes:
- Unmarried women aged 21+.
- Women who were previously rejected due to minor errors.
- Women who did not have a tractor but now meet other criteria.
Latest Status: According to recent reports, the government is planning to reopen the portal soon. CM Mohan Yadav has hinted that no eligible sister will be left out. The registration for the third round is expected to be announced shortly after the “Sankalp Se Samadhan Maha Abhiyan” which begins on January 12, 2026. This campaign aims to ensure 100% saturation of government schemes, so new applicants should keep their documents (Samagra ID, Aadhaar, Bank Seeding) ready.
Why Some Women May Stop Receiving Money
The government is also filtering the beneficiary list to remove ineligible candidates. You might stop receiving payments if:
- Income Tax: You or your family member has started paying income tax.
- Government Job: A family member has secured a government job.
- Age Limit: You have crossed the age of 60 (these women are usually shifted to the Old Age Pension scheme).
- Bank Issues: Your bank account is no longer DBT-enabled or Aadhaar-linked.
