Good news is here for lakhs of women. If you’re a woman living in Delhi, the Delhi government is set to provide you with 2500 rupees each month, a promise made by the BJP in their election manifesto. There’s been a recent update on this.
When political parties run for election, they often make a bunch of promises to the public, including financial support and various schemes. They usually release a detailed election manifesto outlining these commitments, which they claim they will fulfill once they take office.
In this context, the Bharatiya Janata Party had pledged to deliver on several promises after winning the Delhi elections, one of which was to provide Rs 2500 monthly to women in the city. Now, there’s some important news regarding this. Let’s dive into the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana.
What’s happening on March 8?
Initially, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta mentioned in media talks that on March 8, which is Women’s Day, the 2500 rupees would be deposited into women’s bank accounts. However, that’s not the case anymore, as it’s been clarified that the funds won’t be transferred on Women’s Day.
Instead, the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana will be officially launched on Women’s Day, and registrations will kick off then. It’s important to note that there was some confusion about how women would register, but now it’s been confirmed that the Delhi government will provide detailed information about the scheme on March 8.
When can we expect the money to hit the account?
So, it’s been confirmed that details about the Mahila Samridhi Yojana will be shared on March 8, and that’s also when the registration kicks off. Because of this, it’s tough to pinpoint exactly when the women in Delhi will receive the Rs 2500, but it’s likely that after March 8, once registration is done, the money will start flowing into their accounts pretty quickly.
Who qualifies for the benefits and who doesn’t?
The Mahila Samridhi Yojana is aimed at women who are permanent residents of Delhi. To be eligible, they should come from low-income or middle-class backgrounds. For the application, documents like an Aadhar card, Delhi voter ID, or birth certificate will be necessary. However, women who pay taxes, hold government jobs, or are already receiving benefits from any pension scheme won’t qualify for this program.
