- Must be a resident of Maharashtra.
- Age should be between 21 and 65 years.
- The family’s annual income should not exceed Rs 2.5 lakh.

Future of Ladki Bahin Yojana: Expected Hike in Financial Aid
With the upcoming state budget, there are speculations that the financial assistance under Ladki Bahin Yojana might increase from Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,100. The BJP-led Mahayuti government had committed to this hike during the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly Elections, and beneficiaries are hopeful that this promise will be fulfilled.
Beneficiary Exclusions Due to Eligibility Issues
As part of an eligibility verification drive, the Maharashtra government has excluded 9 lakh women from the scheme due to non-compliance with the criteria. In January 2025 alone, 5 lakh women were removed, followed by 4 lakh more in February. The move aims to ensure that only genuine beneficiaries receive the aid.
