Independent guide. Money Schemes is not a government website and does not take applications or payments. Apply only on the official portal, at a post office, a bank branch or a Common Service Centre.

The Ladli Lakshmi Yojana of Madhya Pradesh gives a registered girl an assurance certificate worth 1,43,000 rupees, paid out as scholarships in Classes 6, 9, 11 and 12, a 25,000 rupee grant for college, and a final 1 lakh rupees when she turns 21. It is also spelt Ladli Laxmi Yojana, with the state's women and child welfare wing running it on ladlilaxmi.mp.gov.in.

The scheme is for girls, from birth. It is different from the Ladli Behna Yojana, which pays adult women in Madhya Pradesh every month. A mother can draw Ladli Behna for herself while her daughter is enrolled in Ladli Laxmi, if each meets her own scheme's rules.

Eligibility in plain words

  • The girl was born after the scheme's starting date shown on the portal and is registered at her local anganwadi centre.
  • Her parents live in Madhya Pradesh and do not pay income tax.
  • There are two children at most in the family. The first girl qualifies without family planning; for a second girl, the parents must have adopted family planning.

Special cases on the portal

  • If a parent has died and the family has up to two children, the girl can be registered up to age 5.
  • Triplets from the first delivery all qualify.
  • Daughters of women prisoners and of rape survivors qualify.
  • Orphan or adopted girls must be registered within one year of admission or adoption, before age 5.
  • Late cases may be decided by the District Collector.

Ladli laxmi yojana online apply

  1. Open ladlilaxmi.mp.gov.in and choose the application option.
  2. Pick Normal or Special, depending on the case.
  3. Give a mobile number and verify it with the code it receives.
  4. Fill the application form with the girl's and parents' details and upload the papers asked for.
  5. Submit and note the registration number.

The anganwadi worker where the girl is registered can help fill it, and the project office of the Women and Child Development Department verifies it. The form screens show which papers to upload; families are usually asked for the girl's birth certificate, the parents' Aadhaar, the Samagra ID, residence proof, a photo of the girl, and for a second girl the family planning certificate.

Ladli laxmi yojana certificate download

Once approved, the girl gets the assurance certificate for 1,43,000 rupees. The portal has a certificate section where you can find and print it by the registration number. If you cannot find it, the anganwadi worker or the project office can print a copy. Keep the registration number safe; it is needed for every scholarship claim and for the final payment at 21.

Claiming the school scholarships

When your daughter joins Class 6, 9, 11 or 12, open her Ladli profile on the portal, enter the Ladli registration number, verify the OTP and submit the claim. Usually the school's admission record is checked before payment. If a claim does not go through, ask the school head and the anganwadi worker to check whether her school details are updated against her Ladli record.

Ladli Laxmi Yojana 2.0

The portal's title now reads Ladli Laxmi Yojana 2.0, the online version that handles registration, certificates, scholarship claims and the later payments in one place. The benefits listed above are the ones on that portal. When people search for ladli lakshmi yojana 2.0 or the Mukhyamantri Ladli Laxmi Yojana, they are looking for this same scheme.

Other options for a daughter's future

Ladli Laxmi is a promise from the state, not a savings account. Plenty of parents pair it with a Sukanya Samriddhi account, which earns 8.2% a year. Other states run their own girl schemes, for instance Uttar Pradesh's Kanya Sumangala and Rajshri in Rajasthan.
