Launched in July 2024 by the Mahayuti government, the 'Mazi Ladki Bahin' (translated as 'My Sister, the Chief Minister's Daughter') scheme provides Rs 1,500 per month to eligible women, directly deposited into their Aadhaar-linked bank accounts. The scheme is part of a broader effort to reduce economic dependence and improve the financial stability of women, particularly in rural and underprivileged areas.

In addition to this, female farmers who are already beneficiaries of schemes such as PM Kisan Samman Nidhi receive an additional Rs 500 monthly under the program.
