What is the Ladli Behna Yojana really? — MP’s scheme

The Mukhyamantri Ladli Behna Yojana is the Madhya Pradesh government’s scheme, launched in 2023. Under it, eligible women of MP aged 21 to 60 receive ₹1,250 every month directly into their bank accounts. Its purpose is women’s economic independence and strengthening their role in the family.

The scheme is only for women resident in Madhya Pradesh — women of Bihar, UP or any other state cannot apply in it. Information about this scheme’s installments is already present on our website, because it has crores of beneficiaries in MP and every installment triggers huge searches. But there is no Bihar version of this scheme.

Why is confusion spreading in Bihar?

There are three big reasons:

  • Similar names: Maharashtra runs the “Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana” (₹1,500/month). All three names sound alike — people assume every state must have such a scheme.
  • Election atmosphere: Bihar’s assembly elections are near, and discussion of women-centric schemes is at its peak. In such times, old and incomplete information spreads fast.
  • The fraudsters’ game: some people are taking money or documents from women in the name of getting “Bihar Ladli Behna Yojana forms” filled. This is complete fraud — no such form exists at all.

Comparing the three states’ schemes — MP vs Maharashtra vs Bihar

To clear the confusion, look at all three schemes together:

Point Ladli Behna (MP) Ladki Bahin (Maharashtra) Mahila Rojgar (Bihar)
State Madhya Pradesh Maharashtra Bihar
Mode of help ₹1,250/month cash ₹1,500/month cash ₹10,000 one-time + up to ₹2 lakh
Objective Monthly financial support Monthly financial support Starting employment/self-employment
Age 21–60 years 21–65 years 18–60 years
Launched 2023 2024 26 September 2025

As you can see — Bihar’s scheme is fundamentally different in nature. There is no monthly cash here; instead ₹10,000 is given once so that a woman can start a small business or work.

Bihar’s genuine scheme — Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana (MMRY)

The Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana is the Bihar government’s scheme, launched on 26 September 2025 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It is run through the Rural Development Department and JEEViKA (Bihar’s self-help group system).

How much help is given?

  • First phase: ₹10,000 one-time, straight into the bank account (DBT). In September–October 2025, about 1.21 crore women received this amount in three waves.
  • Further support: women who invest this money in a business and run it successfully for at least 6 months can become eligible for additional assistance of up to ₹2 lakh after verification.

The later-phase model — as per media reports

Media reports describe a phased model for the scheme’s later stages — meaning the help comes in stages along with the business’s progress, not all at once. According to reports, in the second phase ₹20,000 of help requires the woman to invest ₹5,000 of her own savings; in the third phase ₹40,000 requires ₹10,000 of her own contribution; in the fourth phase ₹80,000 requires ₹20,000 of her own contribution. An additional ₹60,000 for branding, packaging and marketing support is mentioned for the final stage. Note: this information is based on media reports — confirm the current phase’s correct status only from mmry.brlps.in or your JEEViKA group.

Who can apply? — Eligibility

  • Must be a woman aged 18 to 60 years.
  • Must be a permanent resident of Bihar.
  • Only one woman per family gets the benefit.
  • The applicant or her husband must not be an income-tax assessee or government employee.
  • JEEViKA self-help group membership is required — those who are not members yet can join during registration.

How to apply?

  1. Urban areas: register online on the official portal mmry.brlps.in.
  2. Rural areas: apply through your area’s JEEViKA self-help group.
  3. After registration, beneficiaries are selected following verification by JEEViKA officials.

Stay safe from fraud — the “Bihar Ladli Behna form” is a trap

This is the most important part of this article. Please read carefully:

  1. No such form exists: there is no scheme named “Bihar Ladli Behna Yojana”, so there cannot be any application form for it either. Whoever gets such a form filled is a fraudster.
  2. Do not pay money: if money is demanded for filling a form, registration, or “getting your name added to the list”, refuse immediately. Applications in government schemes are free.
  3. Give documents carefully: do not hand over your Aadhaar card or bank passbook copies to any unknown person.
  4. Only the official portal: take information about Bihar’s genuine scheme only from mmry.brlps.in or your JEEViKA group.
