Raise Ladki Bahin assistance to ₹2,100 per month
· Maharashtra Assembly Election 2024
Last updated 25 Oct 2026
What does this status mean?
The term is active and there is no evidence of action or reversal.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.
Original manifesto wording
“Increase monthly assistance under Ladki Bahin Yojana from ₹1,500 to ₹2,100 for eligible women.”
Our Assessment
Ladki Bahin assistance remains ₹1,500 a month; the promised increase to ₹2,100 has not been implemented in the evidence reviewed. The ₹1,500 benefit began before the election and does not fulfil the promised ₹600 increase.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why pending?
The specific ₹600 monthly increase has no verified implementation; the existing ₹1,500 scheme predates the election. The active term and continued future commitment do not establish an explicit reversal.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why medium confidence?
The official scheme description, 2026-27 budget analysis and the Chief Minister's June statement support ₹1,500. October reporting corroborates that amount, but its claimed government clarification is not linked to an original order.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- A government order raising monthly assistance to ₹2,100 and evidence of payments at that rate
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
