“The role of the district-level committees is extremely important for the successful implementation of the scheme. Gupta directed local public representatives, who are members of the district-level committees, to examine applications where there are doubts regarding the information submitted by applicants. The government will also provide applicants an opportunity to correct or fill in missing information.
Eligible women enrolled under the Delhi government’s Delhi Lakshmi Yojana will begin receiving benefit letters from August 26, with the monthly financial assistance to be credited from September 1, chief minister Rekha Gupta said on Tuesday. The government has also finalised the manner of disbursing the ₹ 2,500 aid — ₹ 1,000 to a central bank digital currency and ₹ 1,500 in a fixed or recurring deposit, or the entire ₹ 2,500 in the deposit, as per the beneficiaries’ choice. In the first 18 days of its launch, 800,000 beneficiaries registered on the portal, of whom 500,000 submitted completed applications, according to figures shared in the meeting.
Every application should be thoroughly scrutinised and monitored so that eligible women receive the benefit without unnecessary delay,” CM Gupta said.
“If any fact in an application appears doubtful, it should be thoroughly examined so that there is no problem later,” Gupta said. A correction facility will soon be made available on the Delhi Lakshmi Yojana portal, according to the CM’s office.
