Scheme History — योजना का इतिहास
The scheme was announced in the Delhi Budget 2025-26 as a flagship promise for women — to give every eligible woman a monthly income support of ₹2,500. It replaces and consolidates earlier promises like the Mahila Samman Yojana and the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana, into one clear scheme called the Delhi Lakshmi Yojana.
The Delhi Government has said the money will be credited directly to the beneficiary’s bank account every month, so that women do not have to depend on middlemen. After registration, the application is verified by the district administration and the Women & Child Development Department before the first payment is released.
The first phase of registration opened on 1 August 2026, and within the first days more than 1.47 lakh women had already registered on the portal, showing the huge demand for the scheme across Delhi.
Payment Options — भुगतान के तरीके
Beneficiaries will receive the assistance through the following methods, depending on the option selected at registration:
- Direct Bank Transfer (DBT) — ₹2,500 credited to the Aadhaar-linked bank account every month.
- CBDC Wallet (Digital Rupee) — an option for women who choose a digital wallet for faster, paperless payments.
- Gas Connection Benefit — women who hold a cooking gas connection may be eligible for an additional benefit, taking the total support higher in some cases.
