Raipur: Great news awaits the married women of Chhattisgarh. The long wait for the next installment of the Vishnu Deo Sai government’s flagship scheme, Mahtari Vandana Yojana, is about to end. According to sources within the department, the 23rd installment (for January 2026) is expected to be transferred to beneficiaries’ accounts by January 10.
Why the date matters
Typically, the state government transfers the DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) amount in the first week of every month. However, due to administrative schedules, the transfer is now likely scheduled for the second week. Over 70 lakh women across the state are currently benefiting from this scheme. As per the norm, ₹1000 will be credited directly to the Aadhaar-linked bank accounts of eligible women.
