Delhi Ladli Yojana Payment on October 1: Check If You are Eligible?

As part of the ongoing Seva Pakhwada (service fortnight) celebrations, close to 40,000 beneficiaries of the Delhi government's Ladli scheme are set to receive their long-pending honorarium on October 1, as per a report by PTI.

Launched on January 1, 2008, the Ladli Yojana aims to empower the girl child through financial support for education and personal development. It encourages families to educate their daughters by providing monetary assistance at key life and academic milestones.

• ₹11,000 for girls born in government-recognised institutions
• ₹10,000 for home births
• ₹5,000 at educational milestones – on entry into Classes 1, 6, 9, and 10

The funds are deposited as term deposits with SBI Life Insurance Company and accrue interest over time. The total maturity amount can be accessed when the girl either completes Class 10 or turns 18, whichever comes later.
