AI SummaryDelhi Mahila Samman Yojana, which Delhi government launched in December 2024, has been renamed Delhi Lakshmi Yojana. The scheme now offers women in the capital ₹2,500 every month, and online registration is open on the official portal dly.delhi.gov.in.
Department of Women and Child Development, Government of NCT of Delhi runs the scheme. The same support was promised as Mahila Samriddhi Yojana in the BJP manifesto for the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections, and the name was changed to Delhi Lakshmi Yojana on 13 July 2026. Below are the registration process, eligibility rules, document list and benefits.
What is Delhi Mahila Samman Yojana (Now Delhi Lakshmi Yojana)?
Delhi Mahila Samman Yojana started in December 2024 with a monthly support of ₹2,100 for women. After the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections, the new government kept the scheme but changed the name and the amount. The scheme is now called Delhi Lakshmi Yojana and gives ₹2,500 per month to the eldest woman of an eligible family.
The money is paid through DBT. Out of the ₹2,500, ₹1,500 goes into a recurring or fixed deposit in the woman's name so she builds savings month after month, and ₹1,000 is credited to a Central Bank Digital Currency wallet for daily household spending. The same scheme is covered in detail in the Delhi Lakshmi Yojana registration guide.
Delhi Lakshmi Yojana Online Registration at dly.delhi.gov.in
Registration is done only online on the official portal. Keep your Aadhaar card, Delhi Voter ID, bank passbook and scanned copies of your documents ready before you start. The whole process takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
STEP 1 - Open dly.delhi.gov.in and click the "Apply" button on the homepage, then choose "Register Now" on the login box. In the registration form, enter your Aadhaar number, your name exactly as printed on Aadhaar, your date of birth, select Female as gender, type the captcha shown on screen and click Continue.
STEP 2 - Once your account is made, log in and start the application. The first screen is the eligibility part. Answer every eligibility question honestly and confirm each condition. If you answer even one condition wrongly, the form gets rejected later at the checking stage.
STEP 3 - Fill your personal details. Name, Aadhaar number, date of birth, address and other basic information go here. Match every spelling with your Aadhaar card, because a mismatch is the most common reason applications get stuck.
STEP 4 - Enter the details of your family members. This part decides whether you are counted as the eldest woman in the household, so add every member correctly and do not skip anyone.
STEP 5 - Give your bank account details. Account number, IFSC code and bank name are entered here, and the monthly money will land in this same account. Use an account that is in your own name and linked with Aadhaar.
STEP 6 - Upload all required documents in the format the portal asks for. Aadhaar, Delhi Voter ID, your photo and signature, one residence proof and one age proof. Scan them clearly, because a blurred upload gets sent back.
STEP 7 - Preview the full application. Read it once from top to bottom, fix anything wrong, then submit the final form.
STEP 8 - Upload the signed copy of the MP or MLA endorsement letter. Get this letter from the office of the sitting MP or MLA of your own constituency, sign the part they give you, scan it and upload. After this, download the acknowledgement receipt and save it. That receipt number is what you will use later.
Track Delhi Lakshmi Yojana Application Status
The portal has a separate "Track Application" option on the homepage. You do not need to log in for it. Just enter the mobile number you used at the time of registration and the status of your form shows up on screen. Check it every few days after applying, because if an officer sends the form back for a correction, you will only find out from here.
Who Can Apply for Delhi Lakshmi Yojana
Delhi government has kept the rules tight, and every condition below has to be met together, not just one or two of them. Age is counted as on the date you submit the application, so if you turn 61 next month, apply now.

- Applicant must not have more than three children.
Documents Required
Four documents are required for every applicant. Aadhaar Card, Delhi Voter ID Card, a photograph with signature of the applicant, and the endorsement letter from the MP or MLA of the constituency. Keep all four ready before you sit down to apply.
Along with these, you need one proof of 10 years of residence in Delhi. Delhi Voter ID Card, ration card, driving licence, or an electricity meter bill or gas connection bill and receipt are accepted for this. Any one of them works.
You also need one age proof. Birth certificate, school leaving certificate of the last class attended, matriculation or Class 10 certificate, driving licence, PAN card, Aadhaar card or Voter ID card, any one of these is fine.
