Delhi Lakshmi Yojana Sets Eligibility, Spending Rules and Aid Recovery Measures
The Delhi Lakshmi Yojana offers monthly financial assistance of Rs 2,500 to eligible women aged 21 to 60 from low-income families, with applications accepted year-round via an online portal. Beneficiaries must meet strict eligibility criteria, including residency and income limits, and are barred from spending funds on items like tobacco and gambling. Ineligible recipients will face aid discontinuation, recovery of disbursed amounts, and possible legal action. Upon a beneficiary's death, funds transfer to heirs or revert to the government if unclaimed for two years.
