According to the Delhi government, the scheme aims to strengthen women's financial security, encourage greater participation in economic activities, and support women's empowerment.
The government has indicated that the scheme is likely to be rolled out around Raksha Bandhan 2026, with registration details expected to be announced before the launch.
