In a big-ticket welfare scheme to boost the financial independence of women, the Delhi government approved the Delhi Lakshmi Yojana.

Cabinet Approves Big Women-Centric Welfare Scheme

The Delhi Cabinet has given its nod to the Delhi Lakshmi Yojana, a major promise of the BJP administration before the Assembly elections. The plan aims to provide monthly cash support to eligible women to cover household expenses and encourage greater economic participation. Officials said the effort is expected to boost the financial stability and self-reliance of women from economically vulnerable regions.

Authorities have underlined that the application procedure would be open so that only real recipients get financial help.

Likely First Instalment Before Raksha Bandhan

The Delhi government is expected to disburse the first monthly payment before Raksha Bandhan. After verification of the applications, selected recipients would receive ₹2,500 immediately in their bank accounts using the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) method which will ensure faster and transparent disbursal.

Women’s Economic Empowerment as a Key Priority

Delhi Lakshmi Yojana is being promoted as one of the key social welfare projects of the government for women. The administration is committed to reducing the financial stress for low-income households and wants to make women feel more confident in managing their everyday costs by offering guaranteed financial help on a monthly basis.
