New Delhi, Aug. 1 : The Delhi government on Friday launched the online registration process for the Delhi Lakshmi Yojana, a flagship welfare scheme aimed at providing direct financial assistance to eligible women across the national capital.

The government expects the number of registrations to rise significantly in the coming days as awareness about the scheme increases. Authorities have urged eligible women to register only through the official portal and ensure that all information submitted is accurate to avoid delays during the verification process.
The Delhi Lakshmi Yojana is one of the key welfare initiatives announced in the 2026-27 Budget and is expected to benefit a large number of women by providing regular financial support and enhancing their economic security.
