Under the ladli behna awas yojana, Madhya Pradesh planned to pay Rs 1,30,000 towards a house for Ladli Behna women who still live without a pucca home and did not get one under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY). We are an independent explainer, not a government site: forms, lists and status checks are handled only by the official portal and local offices.
The short answer for most readers: applications were taken only once, in a short window in 2023, and no woman had received a rupee by the time of the latest trustworthy news we could locate, because the scheme was stalled for lack of funds. We found no later report of payments or a fresh round. Read on for the details and what you can still do.
What is the Ladli Behna Awas Yojana
The Ladli Behna Awas Yojana was announced by the Madhya Pradesh government before the 2023 state election. It was planned as a state housing scheme that sits alongside the main Ladli Behna Yojana, which pays a monthly amount to eligible married women. The idea was simple: women who already get Ladli Behna money, but still live without a pucca house and did not get a house under PMAY, would get state help to build one.
It is a separate scheme from the monthly payment. Being a Ladli Behna beneficiary was a starting condition, but it did not mean a woman automatically got a house.
How much money ladli behna awas yojana offers
The assistance announced was Rs 1,30,000 (about Rs 1.3 lakh) per house, paid in three installments as construction moves ahead:
| Installment | Amount |
|---|---|
| First | Rs 25,000 |
| Second | Rs 85,000 |
| Third | Rs 20,000 |
| Total | Rs 1,30,000 |
Some blogs claim the amount is Rs 2 lakh. We found no reliable support for that figure. The Rs 1.3 lakh amount comes from a Patrika report and matches the three installments above.
Who could apply
The conditions reported for the scheme were:
- The woman had to be a Ladli Behna Yojana beneficiary.
- She should not have a pucca house, and should have been left out of PMAY.
- Family income had to be below Rs 3 lakh a year under the original rule.
- Families owning a four-wheeler were excluded.
- Families with their own pucca house or plot were excluded.
These rules are as originally announced. If the scheme is ever reopened, the conditions may be updated, so always read the order or notice issued at that time. For the main monthly scheme's rules, see our eligibility guide.
The application window in 2023
Applications for the ladli behna awas yojana mp were taken from 17 Sep to 4 Oct 2023. In that short window, 61,03,567 women applied across the state. That is a very large number, which shows how many families were hoping for a pucca house.
No second application round has been reported since then. If someone tells you the form is open now, ask them to show an official notice, and confirm with the panchayat or municipal ward before you hand over any documents. Do not pay any agent who promises to "add your name" to the housing list.
Funds status: what was last reported
A Patrika report from December 2024 said that no beneficiary had been paid under the scheme. Work had stopped because money was not available. In August 2024 the state finance department said that payments under more than 100 schemes, this one included, would need its prior approval before money could be released.
We looked for any reliable 2025 or 2026 report of payments starting or of the scheme being revived, and found none. So the honest position is this: consider the housing grant on hold and not yet in force until a government notice or the panchayat confirms a change. If that changes, we will record it in the summary box that sits above this guide.
What you can do now
If you applied in 2023 and are waiting, a few steps can help:
- Keep your 2023 application number or receipt safe. You may need it if payments start.
- Ask the panchayat secretary or urban ward staff whether any notice has come about the housing scheme.
- Keep your bank account linked to Aadhaar with DBT active. DBT means Direct Benefit Transfer, where the government sends money straight to your bank account. Our e-KYC guide explains Samagra and Aadhaar updates.
- Make sure you still receive your monthly Ladli Behna money. You can confirm it on our status check page.
- If you are eligible for PMAY, ask the panchayat about that scheme separately.
An OTP is for your eyes only, so keep it to yourself when someone phones about a housing list. Real officials do not ask for it.
How it differs from the monthly Ladli Behna payment
Many people search ladli behna yojana awas yojana, ladli bahna awas yojana or cm ladli behna awas yojana mp as if it were one scheme. It is not. The monthly Ladli Behna money is a regular cash payment to eligible women, and it continues to be paid. The awas scheme was a one-time housing grant in three parts, and it has not started paying as per the last report.
So a delay in the housing grant does not affect your monthly installment, and getting the monthly money does not mean a house has been sanctioned. To see when the monthly money usually arrives, read our installment date page.
