Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana (MMRY) is actively running in Bihar and the government has now confirmed a big update on installments. The first installment of ₹10,000 has already reached 1.81 crore Jeevika Didis, and the second installment of ₹20,000 is set to be transferred to their bank accounts this month. Rural Development Minister Shrawan Kumar confirmed this officially, making it clear that the government is on track to complete all promised payments.
Under this scheme, eligible women will get a total of ₹2.10 lakh spread across five installments to start their own businesses. Bihar is the first state in the country to launch such a large-scale self-employment scheme for women, and both rural Jeevika Didis and urban Aajeevika Didis are covered under it.
Bihar Mahila Rojgar Yojana - All 5 Installment Details
The government has laid out a clear plan for how the ₹2.10 lakh total will be given to women in five separate installments. Each installment builds on the previous one, giving women more funds as their businesses grow. Here is the full installment schedule as confirmed by the minister:
| Installment | Amount | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Installment | ₹10,000 | Already sent to 1.81 crore Jeevika Didis |
| 2nd Installment | ₹20,000 | Coming this month (May 2025) |
| 3rd Installment | ₹40,000 | Upcoming |
| 4th Installment | ₹60,000 | Upcoming |
| 5th Installment | ₹80,000 | Upcoming |
| Total | ₹2,10,000 | Transferred directly to bank accounts via DBT |
All these payments go directly into women's bank accounts through DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer), so there is no middleman involved and no need to visit any office to collect the money.
Urban Women - Aajeevika Didi Scheme Update
About 18 lakh women in urban areas have enrolled under the 'Aajeevika Didi' scheme, which is the urban version of this scheme. The minister confirmed that verification of applications from all these urban women has been completed and they will soon receive the first installment of ₹10,000 directly into their bank accounts. So if you are a woman living in a city or town in Bihar and have already applied, your payment is on its way.
