Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday (August 1, 2026) launched the online portal for ‘Delhi Laxmi Yojna’ under which financial aid of ₹2,500 per month will be given to women in the city.

“Delhi Lakshmi Yojana, which is a scheme that will provide economic empowerment to the sisters of Delhi. The government has allocated a budget of ₹5,100 crore for this. The portal has started from today, and registration has also begun,” Ms. Gupta said, addressing the public.

“I think almost 500 sisters have successfully filled their forms on this,” she added.

The Delhi Cabinet, headed by Ms. Gupta, on Tuesday (July 28) passed the scheme under which eligible women will receive ₹2,500 every month. The scheme was a key poll promise of the BJP in Assembly polls held last year.

According to the scheme guidelines approved by the cabinet, women aged between 21 and 60, whose family income is up to ₹2.50 lakh per annum, will be eligible to apply.
