Kejriwal 2100 Scheme Renamed Delhi Lakshmi Yojana 2026: Apply Online for ₹2,500 Monthly

Kejriwal 2100 Scheme, which Delhi government launched in December 2024 as Mahila Samman Yojana, has been renamed Delhi Lakshmi Yojana. Eligible women now get ₹2,500 every month instead of the earlier ₹2,100, 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. Name changed on 13 July 2026 under Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, and the monthly amount was raised to ₹2,500. Anyone who was following the old Kejriwal 2100 scheme should now apply under the new Delhi name, since no separate portal exists for the old version.

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

Registration is done on the portal itself, and 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 the documents in one folder before starting. Also keep the mobile number linked with Aadhaar with you, 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, 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. 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 the 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 the family members. This part decides whether the applicant is counted as the eldest woman in the household, so add every member correctly and do not skip anyone.

STEP 5 - Give the 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 the applicant's 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, since 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 the constituency, sign the part they give, scan it and upload. After this, download the acknowledgement receipt and save it, since that receipt number is used later.

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 the application is submitted, so if a woman turns 61 next month, she should apply now.

• Applicant must be a woman and the eldest female member of her family. If two or three 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 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 sitting down to apply.

• Aadhaar Card, Delhi Voter ID Card, photograph with signature, and the MP or MLA endorsement letter.
• One proof of 10 years of residence in Delhi, such as Voter ID, ration card, driving licence, or an electricity meter bill or gas connection bill.

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.

How Applications Will Be Checked

Delhi government has set up a three level checking system so that only eligible women get the money. At the first level, the District Project Management Unit checks the fields and documents in the form and marks whether the application is complete or incomplete. At the second level, the District Women and Child Development Officer either recommends the application for further processing or does not recommend it. At the third level, the District Level Approval, Monitoring and Grievance Redressal Committee, called DLAMGRC, looks at the recommended applications and either approves them or sends them back to the applicant with a reply. So a form sent back is not always a rejection, it can simply need a correction.

District officers have also been told to work with district magistrates and hold registration camps, and to identify at least 100 eligible women from every district in the first round. Anganwadi workers and other field staff will bring eligible women in for registration, help them complete the forms with the right papers, and coordinate with MPs and MLAs where the endorsement letter is needed. If the online form is hard to handle, ask at the local anganwadi centre.
