Kejriwal announced that the Delhi Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Atishi, has approved the scheme, and women can begin registering for the benefits starting Friday. However, he clarified that due to the upcoming elections, funds would be credited to beneficiaries only after the polls.
The initiative, first introduced in the 2024-25 budget, has an allocation of ₹2,000 crore. Kejriwal emphasized that his government’s track record of fulfilling promises—such as free electricity—backs his commitment to this new scheme.
