Delhi Laxmi Yojana: Who Can Receive ₹2,500 Every Month? Check Eligibility, Income Limit and Other Conditions

The Delhi government has approved the eligibility framework for the Delhi Laxmi Yojana, bringing the much-awaited financial assistance scheme closer to its rollout. Scheduled to be launched on Raksha Bandhan, the initiative aims to provide ₹2,500 per month to eligible women from low-income households through direct benefit transfer.

Formerly referred to as the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana, the scheme has been renamed Delhi Laxmi Yojana. The final guidelines were cleared at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, who also instructed officials to ensure a smooth and transparent implementation process.

Who is Eligible for the Delhi Laxmi Yojana?

To receive the monthly financial assistance, applicants must satisfy the following conditions:

• Be a woman aged between 21 and 60 years.
• Have lived in Delhi for at least 10 years.
• Belong to a family with an annual income of ₹2.5 lakh or less.
• Only one eligible woman from each family can receive the benefit, with priority likely to be given to the oldest eligible female member.
• The applicant and her family members should not have any criminal record. 

The government is expected to open registrations before the scheme is officially launched.

What is the Objective of the Scheme?

The Delhi Laxmi Yojana is designed to strengthen the financial position of women from economically weaker sections by providing regular monthly assistance. The government believes that improving women's financial security can have a positive impact on household welfare and encourage greater economic independence.

The scheme also fulfils one of the BJP's key promises made during the Delhi Assembly elections.

Delhi Government Allocates ₹5,100 Crore

The government has said beneficiary verification will be carried out carefully to ensure that the financial assistance reaches only eligible applicants and the scheme is implemented efficiently.
