All eligible women will get benefits

The government will ensure that no eligible woman is deprived of the benefits. For this, the government is preparing a portal in which eligible women can easily apply and take advantage of the scheme. This reflects the government’s commitment to inclusive development.

What are the eligibility criteria for the scheme

The Delhi government has fixed some important eligibility criteria for the ‘Mahila Samridhi Yojana’. Only those women who will fulfill these criteria will get the benefit of the scheme:

Resident of Delhi

The woman should have been living in Delhi for the last 5 years. This is an important condition to give priority to the native residents of Delhi.

Proof of identity

It is mandatory for the woman applying to have a voter card with a Delhi address. Along with this, an Aadhaar Card will also be necessary, as it is the primary document of identification and verification.

Income Limit

The income limit in this scheme is currently fixed at ₹ 3 lakh. However, the Chief Minister has indicated that it can also be reduced. This means that this scheme will mainly focus on economically weak and needy women.

Objective and impact of the scheme

The main objective of ‘Mahila Samridhi Yojana’ is to make the women of Delhi economically empowered. A monthly assistance amount of ₹ 2500 can help women meet their daily expenses, help in the education of children, or start a small business. This scheme can prove to be a big step towards making women self-reliant, which will improve their standard of living and they will be able to live a life with more dignity in society.
