Beneficiaries of the Ladki Bahin Yojana will have to wait for the promised Rs 2100 financial assistance, as the state government has announced that the increased amount will be given only after an improvement in its financial position.

State Finance Minister Ajit Pawar said, “We have never denied the Rs 2100 hike, but for now, Rs 1500 will continue. The revised amount will be given only after assessing the financial situation.” He made this statement in the Legislative Assembly on Thursday while responding to Opposition queries on the budget.
