Delhi Lakshmi Yojana requires MLA or MP approval for ₹2500 aid
Delhi Lakshmi Yojana provides ₹2,500 monthly assistance to eligible women aged 21-60 from households with annual income under ₹2.5 lakh.
Applicants must obtain a signed recommendation letter from their local MLA or MP; without it, they cannot receive the benefit.
Delhi has 70 MLAs and seven MPs; any of these elected representatives must authorize the application.
A new column for MLA or MP signature was added to the application form to ensure transparency and involve public representatives.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta launched the online registration portal for the scheme on August 1, 2026.
