The Mahtari Vandana Yojana, an initiative by the Chhattisgarh government, has been a significant step in empowering women, especially in rural areas. Over the years, this scheme has successfully assisted women by providing them with a monthly financial aid, making a tangible difference in their lives. After the release of 13 installments, the 14th installment is eagerly awaited, and in this article, we will provide you with all the crucial details about the 14th installment of the Mahtari Vandana Yojana.
What is Mahtari Vandana Yojana?
Mahtari Vandana Yojana is one of the most successful welfare programs launched by the Chhattisgarh government aimed at supporting women, particularly in rural and backward areas. Under this scheme, the government provides ₹1000 per month to eligible women, helping them with their financial needs and promoting self-sufficiency. The scheme has benefited almost 70 lakh women across the state, giving them the support they need to lead more independent lives.
14th Installment of Mahtari Vandana Yojana: When Will It Be Released?
As per the previous installments, the government has successfully credited 13 installments into women’s bank accounts. Now, the much-awaited 14th installment is set to be released soon, likely within the month of April 2025.
While the exact release date has not been officially confirmed, the payments are typically made between the 1st and 10th of each month, so the 14th installment could be expected anytime during this period.
According to some media reports, the installment might be slightly delayed because the 13th installment was transferred around 8th March 2025, so it is possible that the 14th installment might also be released between 8th and 10th April 2025.
There are also reports suggesting that due to upcoming festivals like Ram Navami and Hanuman Jayanti, the installment may be released earlier than expected, as these occasions are often seen as auspicious for giving away financial assistance.
Once the installment is credited to the bank accounts, beneficiaries will receive an SMS notification informing them about the payment status. You can also check the installment status by visiting the bank or using online facilities.
How Much Money Will Be Transferred in the 14th Installment?
The scheme has been offering ₹1000 every month to eligible women since its inception. However, for the 14th installment, there are rumors suggesting that the government may increase the amount to ₹1500 per woman, especially with the occasion of Ram Navami. While this has not been officially confirmed, some media outlets are hopeful that this amount might be increased, but it is safest to expect ₹1000 for now, unless an official announcement is made.
