The Delhi government is preparing to launch the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samriddhi Yojana, which aims to provide ₹2,500 monthly financial assistance to eligible women. The online portal for registration is expected to go live on June 1. This scheme, initially announced as the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana, may be rebranded as the Dilli Lakshmi Yojana. It targets women over the age of 18 from families with an annual income below ₹2.5 lakh (approximately $3,000 USD). Eligibility criteria include not owning a vehicle, not being employed in a government job, and not receiving benefits from other government pension schemes. Only one woman per family will be eligible, and applicants will need to submit an income certificate and their Aadhaar details. Discussions regarding the scheme's implementation and documentation requirements are ongoing, with officials emphasizing the importance of creating a transparent digital registration process to prevent duplication and ensure broad coverage. The delay in launching the scheme has attracted political scrutiny, as it was a key promise in the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) campaign for the 2025 elections in Delhi.
