This marks the 10th budget presented by the Arvind Kejriwal government. To ensure smooth implementation, the AAP government has allocated ₹2,714 crore for the scheme.
Atishi announced, “A budget of ₹2,714 crore has been proposed for the beneficiaries in 2024-25. Under the ₹2000 crore allocation for the ‘Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana,’ every woman above 18 will receive ₹1000 monthly.”
Though specifics of the scheme have not been revealed, all women above 18 in Delhi will be eligible, with payments directly deposited into their bank accounts. The scheme’s commencement is expected post the Lok Sabha elections, slated for April-May.
