Delhi Lakshmi Yojana Registration 2026 - Apply Online at dly.delhi.gov.in PDF

Delhi Lakshmi Yojana is accepting applications from eligible women of the capital on the official portal dly.delhi.gov.in. Under this scheme, the eldest woman of a qualifying family gets ₹2,500 every month, paid straight to her bank account through DBT payment. Registration is done only online, and there is no fee for applying.

The scheme was earlier promised as the Delhi Mahila Samman Yojana and later as Mahila Samriddhi Yojana in the BJP manifesto for the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections. Delhi government renamed it Delhi Lakshmi Yojana on 13 July 2026, and online registration opened on 1 August 2026. Department of Women and Child Development, Government of NCT of Delhi runs the scheme. For the full guide, see Delhi Lakshmi Yojana Online Registration.

Delhi Lakshmi Yojana Registration at dly.delhi.gov.in

Registration is done on the portal itself, so the whole thing takes about 15 to 20 minutes when the papers are ready. Keep the Aadhaar card, Delhi Voter ID, bank passbook and scanned copies of documents in one folder before starting. Also keep the mobile number linked with Aadhaar ready, since the portal works around that number.

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 Applicant Registration Form, enter the Aadhaar number, your name exactly as printed on Aadhaar, date of birth, select Female as gender, type the captcha shown on screen and click Continue.

STEP 2 - Once the 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 even one condition is answered wrongly, the form gets rejected later at the checking stage.

STEP 3 - Fill personal details. Name, Aadhaar number, date of birth, address and other basic information go here. Match every spelling with the Aadhaar card, because a mismatch is the most common reason applications get stuck.

STEP 4 - Enter the details of 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 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, 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 used later.

Track Delhi Lakshmi Yojana Application Status

Portal has a separate "Track Application" option on the homepage. You do not need to log in for it. Just enter the mobile number used at the time of registration and the status of the 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 be a woman and the eldest female member of her family. If two or more women in one house qualify, only the eldest one can apply.
• Age must be between 21 and 60 years on the date the application is submitted.
• Total yearly family income must not be more than ₹2,50,000.
• Applicant, or her husband, or one of her parents must have lived in Delhi for at least 10 years as on the date of application.
• Applicant must be a registered voter in Delhi, so her name should already be in the Delhi electoral roll.
• Family electricity use in the last 12 months must not cross 2,400 units.
• Applicant must not have more than three children.

Who Will Not Get Benefit

Exclusions matter as much as the eligibility list here, and many families will fall out because of a single point. Read this part carefully before spending time filling the form.

• Women already getting any pension or other money help from the central or Delhi government, including widow pension and disability pension.
• Income tax payers and GST filers.
• Government servants, and anyone holding a public office.
• Families where any member works as a regular or contract employee in the central government, state government, a public sector undertaking, a board, a local body or any government organisation.
• Families that own a four-wheeler.
• Families whose yearly electricity use crosses 2,400 units.
• Women with more than three living children.
• Women with a criminal record or criminal background.

Documents Required for Delhi Lakshmi Yojana

Four documents are compulsory 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.

Delhi Lakshmi Yojana Highlights

How the ₹2,500 Will Reach You

Money does not come as one plain cash transfer. Under the payment model Delhi government prefers, ₹1,500 out of the ₹2,500 goes into a recurring deposit or fixed deposit in the woman's name, so that she builds some savings month after month. Remaining ₹1,000 is credited to a Central Bank Digital Currency wallet, which is the digital rupee wallet, for daily household spending.

Spending from that digital wallet comes with rules. Delhi government has fixed a negative list, and the wallet money cannot be used to buy liquor, paan, gutka, cigarettes, bidis or other intoxicants, and it cannot be used for online gaming or gambling. Everyday needs like grocery and household items are what the wallet is meant for.

FAQ's

Is Delhi Lakshmi Yojana the same as Mahila Samriddhi Yojana?

Yes. It is the same ₹2,500 monthly scheme promised as Mahila Samriddhi Yojana in the 2025 election manifesto. Delhi government renamed it Delhi Lakshmi Yojana on 13 July 2026, and applications are taken only on dly.delhi.gov.in.

Can two women from the same house apply?

No. Only the eldest woman of the family who meets all the conditions can apply. If a mother and daughter both qualify on age and income, the application has to be in the mother's name.

Is the MP or MLA letter really compulsory?

Yes. It is listed as a mandatory document on the official portal, and there is a separate upload step for the signed copy after you submit the form. An application without it will not go ahead.

Is there any fee for applying?

No. Registration on dly.delhi.gov.in is free. Nobody is authorised to charge you for filling this form, so do not pay any agent for it.

कल से मुझे मेरी दिल्ली की माताओं और बहनों के ढेरों फ़ोन आ रहे हैं। खूब आशीर्वाद दे रहीं हैं और पूछ रही हैं कि महिला सम्मान योजना में कैसे रजिस्टर करना है। मैं सभी माताओं बहनों को कहना चाहता हूँ कि आज मैं जो कुछ कर पा रहा हूँ, ये केवल आपके आशीर्वाद और प्रार्थनाओं का नतीजा है।…

हम जो कहते हैं, वह करके दिखाते हैं💯

2013 में हमने दिल्लीवालों को बिजली बिल माफ और पानी हाफ का वादा किया था और वह करके दिखाया। अब हम महिलाओं को प्रति महीने ₹2100 देंगे। @Reena_Guptaa #KejriwalMahilaSammanYojna pic.twitter.com/tq4MV7Hd2b
