Eligible women to receive Rs 2,100 monthly financial assistance under the scheme
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh –
In State Cabinet meeting held under the chairmanship of CM Nayab Singh Saini here today, the Haryana Government, fulfilling yet another promise of its Sankap Patra, has decided to implement the “Deen Dayal Laado Laxmi Yojana” for ensuring social security and dignity of women. The scheme will be launched on September 25, 2025, the birth anniversary of Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya. Under this scheme, all eligible women will receive financial assistance of Rs 2,100 per month.
As per the provisions, all women (married and unmarried) aged 23 years and above as on September 25, 2025, will be eligible to avail benefits. In the first phase, families with an annual income of less than Rs 1 lakh have been included. Gradually, other income groups will also be brought under the ambit of this scheme in a phased manner.
To avail benefits under this scheme, it will be mandatory for the unmarried applicant, or the husband in the case of a married applicant, to be a resident of Haryana for the last 15 years. There will be no restriction on the number of beneficiaries from a single family. For instance, if three women in a household are eligible, all three will receive the benefit.
However, beneficiaries who are already covered under any of the following nine schemes—Old Age Samman Allowance, Financial Assistance to Widows and Destitute Women, Haryana Divyang Pension, Ladli Social Security Allowance, Financial Assistance to Kashmiri Migrants Families, Allowance to Dwarfs, Financial Assistance to Women and Girls Acid Attack Victims, Financial Assistance to Widower and Unmarried Persons Scheme 2023, and Haryana Gaurav Samman Scheme for the Padma Awardees are receiving higher financial assistance, will not be entitled to benefits under the Deen Dayal Laado Laxmi Yojana.
It was decided in the Cabinet that applicants suffering from Stage 3 and 4 cancer, any of the 54 listed rare diseases, as well as hemophilia, thalassemia, and sickle cell disease, who are already receiving pension benefits, will also be entitled to the additional benefit of the Deen Dayal Laado Laxmi Yojana. Once an unmarried beneficiary completes 45 years of age, she will automatically become eligible for the Financial Assistance Scheme for Widows and Destitute Women. Similarly, upon attaining the age of 60 years, the beneficiary will automatically qualify for the Old Age Samman Allowance Pension Scheme. In the first phase, about 20 lakh women across Haryana will get the benefit from this scheme.
In the coming days, along with the gazette notification of the scheme, a dedicated mobile application will also be launched for registration. Eligible women will be able to register themselves through this app. In addition, every potentially eligible woman will receive an SMS notification informing her of her eligibility and guiding her to apply on the app. The list of all eligible women will be published in every panchayat and ward. Further, Gram Sabhas and Ward Sabhas will be empowered to raise and register any objections regarding the published lists.
