The Delhi government, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), will start accepting applications for the Mahila Samriddhi Scheme from March 8, coinciding with International Women’s Day. Under this scheme, eligible women in Delhi will receive ₹2,500 per month as financial assistance.
The official launch of the scheme is expected to take place at Chhatrasal Stadium, where some women may receive their financial aid during the event. It is estimated that around 15 to 20 lakh women in Delhi could qualify for this scheme.
The Mahila Samriddhi Scheme is designed to offer financial support to women from economically weaker sections. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has reaffirmed her commitment to implementing this promise. Under the scheme, ₹2,500 per month will be transferred directly to beneficiaries’ bank accounts through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).

The application process will be linked to Aadhaar numbers. Women will have to provide their name, location, address, Aadhaar-linked bank account details, and family information.
The Delhi government is working on an online portal for registrations. The Information Technology Department is also developing software to verify applications and identify eligible women. Data from government sources, such as the Chief Electoral Officer and the Food and Civil Supplies Department, will be used to ensure accuracy and prevent fraud.
This initiative aims to provide financial support to women from low-income backgrounds and improve their economic stability.
