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.

Scheme Launch and Beneficiaries

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.

What is the Mahila Samriddhi 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).

Who Can Apply? (Eligibility Criteria)

To qualify for the scheme, women must meet the following conditions:

  • Age: Between 18 and 60 years.
  • Employment Status: Should not be employed in a government job.
  • Other Government Aid: Must not be receiving financial assistance from any other government scheme.
  • Household Income: The annual family income should be less than ₹3 lakh, and the applicant should not be a taxpayer.

Documents Required

Although the official list of documents has not yet been released, applicants may need to submit:

  • Aadhaar Card
  • Ration Card
  • Address Proof
  • Registered Mobile Number

How to Apply? (Registration Process)

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.

Online Registration Portal

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.

Conclusion

The Mahila Samriddhi Scheme aims to empower economically weaker women in Delhi by providing monthly financial assistance. With a streamlined application process, this initiative is set to enhance economic stability and social welfare for thousands of beneficiaries.
