Mahila Samriddhi Yojana– There is a major update revealed regarding Mahila Samriddhi Yojana. Delhi government will give Rs 2500 every month under the Mahila Samridhi Yojana , but women will be able to withdraw only a part of it from their bank account. The government has decided to deposit a part of the money received by women under the scheme in the RD account.
This amount of the scheme can be withdrawn only after a certain time (lock-in period). What will be that lock-in period, how much amount will be deposited in the RD account, this will be decided in the meeting of the group of ministers constituted under the chairmanship of CM Rekha Gupta to implement the scheme.
The Delhi government approved the Mahila Samridhi Yojana on March 8. It has also got the green signal from the Lieutenant Governor. According to sources, a budgetary provision of Rs 5,100 crore has been made for the scheme. Under this scheme, a part of the monthly assistance of Rs 2500 given to women will be sent directly to their Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) wallet. Women will be able to withdraw it every month, while the remaining amount will be deposited in a recurring fixed deposit account in the name of the beneficiary.
According to sources, some eligibility criteria have been fixed for the scheme. Like the age of the woman applying should be between 21 and 60 years. She should be from Antyodaya or BPL (below poverty line) family in Delhi, who has a valid ration card issued by the Food and Supplies Department. Only one woman from a family will get the benefit of the scheme.
The eldest woman in the family will be eligible for the scheme. All the children in the woman’s family should be fully vaccinated or follow the vaccination schedule. If this is not the case, she may be deprived of the benefits. According to sources, about 17 lakh women are expected to benefit from this scheme in the first phase.
There is a recurring deposit scheme in banks and post offices called Recurring Fixed Deposit (RD). Under this, money is deposited in that account every month. There is a provision that this money will be deposited for a fixed period. That means you cannot withdraw money from it during that period. This can be for one year, three years or five years. The bank also gives interest on this.
