Common Problems and Fixes

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ladli Laxmi Yojana only for Madhya Pradesh? Yes, the original Ladli Laxmi Yojana is an MP state scheme. Other states have similar schemes: Ladli Scheme (Delhi/Haryana), Bhagyalakshmi (Karnataka), Kanya Shree (West Bengal).

Can twins or multiple girls be registered? Yes — each girl child can be registered separately under the scheme.

What if the girl drops out of school? Future scholarship instalments will stop. However, the NSC deposits already made remain in her name and she will still receive the final ₹1 lakh at age 21.

Is the ₹1 lakh given only on marriage? No — the ₹1 lakh is given when the girl turns 21, regardless of marriage. However, early marriage (before 21) will forfeit the amount. This is intentional — to discourage child marriage.

Can the girl's bank account receive the final payment? Yes — the final ₹1 lakh is transferred directly to the girl's own bank account (not parents'), ensuring she controls the money.
