Ladki Bahin Yojana installment: what Maharashtra has officially announced
Quick answer
Maharashtra pays ₹1,500 a month. The last month the government named in a public release was February–March 2025, and as of 4 October 2026 we found no official notice giving the date or month of any payment since. The only official mention is a minister's remark on 28 August 2026 that the amount had been credited two days earlier. Your own payments show in your account on the scheme portal.
Researched by Mirza Seraj BaigFacts last checked against official sources on 4 October 2026Where things stand
The monthly amount is ₹1,500. A Government Resolution of 4 August 2025 releasing ₹410.30 crore for the scheme restates it.
The government named specific months in its public releases until February–March 2025. Since then, its official releases about the scheme have mostly been about e-KYC. We found one mention of a payment: on 28 August 2026 Guardian Minister Jaykumar Rawal said the scheme's amount had been credited to eligible women's accounts two days earlier. No month, amount or number of women was given.
As of 4 October 2026 we found no official statement of a September or October 2026 payment date, and no release naming the month of any payment since March 2025.
That means the reliable place to see whether you have been paid is your own account on the official portal, not a date on a website.

- The Government Resolution of 4 August 2025 states that ₹1,500 is paid every month.
- On 5 March 2025, the government told the Legislative Council that no announcement of ₹2,100 had been made at present.
- The 2026-27 state budget, presented in March 2026, provides ₹36,000 crore for the scheme; the release does not change the monthly amount.

e-KYC
e-KYC is the Aadhaar authentication the department uses to verify beneficiaries, and a pending e-KYC holds the payment. What most pages leave out: the scheme also asks for the Aadhaar authentication of your husband or father, and there is an official exemption route if he has died or you are divorced.
