Delhiites will get a gift after Haryana elections
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government of Delhi can implement its ambitious scheme of giving a monthly honorarium of Rs 1,000 to women after the Haryana assembly elections. Officials said that the paperwork for the ‘Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana’ is almost complete. It can be presented in the first cabinet meeting of the Atishi government to be held very soon.
Officials said the proposal for the scheme will be sent to the concerned departments including Finance, Law and Revenue for their comments, after which it will be sent for Cabinet approval. After getting Cabinet approval, the scheme will also require the approval of Delhi Lieutenant Governor (Delhi-LG) V.K. Saxena.
According to officials, AAP convenor and former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal had earlier promised that women would be given Rs 1,000 after he comes out of jail. Preparations to implement this scheme have intensified as Atishi became the chief minister after Kejriwal came out of jail and resigned.

A senior official said that the government plans to announce the implementation of the ‘Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana’ after the Haryana elections.
According to officials, all women aged between 18 and 60 years who are not government employees or taxpayers will be eligible to get a monthly honorarium of Rs 1,000 on submitting a self-declaration form and Aadhaar number. According to official estimates, around 50 lakh women of Delhi will benefit from this scheme. Atishi had earlier said that the scheme could be launched in September or October.
