Delhi Lakshmi Yojana Recurring Deposit Maturity Set for July 2029 with Review Provision
The Delhi Lakshmi Yojana provides eligible women aged 21 to 60 with a monthly aid of Rs 2,500, split between a recurring deposit (RD) and a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) wallet or fully credited to an RD. The RD matures on July 31, 2029, coinciding with the next Lok Sabha elections, but the Council of Ministers may revise this maturity date after reviewing the scheme two years post-launch. Aadhaar enrolment support is available for beneficiaries without the identity number, and the CBDC wallet has spending restrictions.
