She said that the registration for the scheme will begin soon. “We have formed the committee, which will be led by me and the registration for the scheme will begin soon – a portal will be launched soon,” Gupta told reporters.

As said by Delhi CM Rekha Gupta, the online application process will begin only after an official website is launched for the Mahila Samridhi Yojana. The website will have all the required details and a link to register for the eligible beneficiaries. 

Eligibility Criteria

While CM Gupta said that the terms and conditions will be finalized after intensive deliberations, media reports have made several claims with regard to the eligibility criteria. According to reports, women with an annual income of not more than Rs 2.5 lakh will be eligible for the scheme. The income limit may be Rs 3 lakh as well, to make it at par with the new tax slabs. There may be residency criteria as well and those eligible must be a registered voter on a cut-off date decided by the government. Also, there may be an age criteria as well and those above 18 or 21 years and up to 60 years may likely get the benefits. Also, those already availing similar government benefits or those in government jobs will not be eligible for the scheme. 

Transparency

The beneficiaries may have to share their Aadhaar number to get the  Aadhaar-based e-KYC done to ensure transparency in the direct benefit transfer scheme. It’s highly likely that the beneficiaries may be asked to get their PAN and Aadhaar linked. According to the Delhi government, to ensure transparency and efficiency, the scheme will leverage advanced technology, including Aadhaar-based e-KYC, for the seamless disbursement of financial benefits.
