New Delhi: Women in Delhi have received a major gift just two days before Raksha Bandhan. The Delhi government has transferred the first instalment of the ‘Lakshmi Yojana’ to the women’s accounts. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta transferred the first instalment of the scheme to the bank accounts of beneficiary women during an event held at Delhi’s Talkatora Stadium on Wednesday.
However, the funds will actually be credited to the accounts on September 1st, as the scheme was launched with the aim of making women financially self-reliant. Women can easily check the status of the instalment without any hassle. Details regarding the instalment can be found in the report below.
Number of beneficiaries issued approval letters.
Delhi CM Rekha Gupta stated, “I am happy that under the guidance of PM Narendra Modi, we are fulfilling the promises made in our manifesto. We launched the Delhi Lakshmi Yojana on August 1st to provide ₹2,500 per month to the women of Delhi. We have also handed over approval letters to the first 2,500 beneficiaries under the scheme.
“Once the women’s bank accounts and CBDC wallets are opened, the funds will be deposited into their accounts on September 1st. I am delighted that the women of Delhi are happy, and we are working to fulfil our promises regarding their dignity, safety, and self-reliance.”
Monthly amount to be received
The Delhi Lakshmi Yojana came into effect on August 1st. The government has so far completed the registration of over 6 lakh women for this scheme. Under this scheme, beneficiaries will be provided ₹2,500 per month. However, this ₹2,500 cannot be used entirely at once; out of the ₹2,500, ₹1,500 will be placed in a Fixed Deposit (FD) in their account, and the remaining ₹1,000 will be provided in digital currency—specifically for digital transactions.
