Chief Minister Rekha Gupta launched the registration portal for the Delhi Laxmi Yojana at the East Delhi District Magistrate (DM) Office on Saturday, August 1. With the official launch, the registration process for eligible women under the scheme commenced. By noon, 1,083 registrations had been completed, according to figures shared by the government.
Under the scheme, every eligible woman will receive financial assistance of Rs 2,500 per month. The monthly assistance, one of the BJP’ key promises to women ahead of the Delhi Assembly election, is aimed at empowering women by enabling them to meet their day-to-day needs with dignity, self-reliance, and financial independence.
The government has earmarked Rs 5,110 crore for the scheme in the 2026-27 financial year. It is hoping to release the first instalment after the scrutiny and approval of applications, around Raksha Bandhan on August 28.
