Daughters' Wallet: Benefits of the Lado Lakshmi Scheme available even with an income of ₹1.80 lakh..
The central and state governments run various schemes that benefit women, the poor, and other sections of society. One such initiative is the Deendayal Lado Lakshmi Yojana, implemented by the Haryana government. Under this scheme, eligible women receive financial assistance of ₹2,100 per month. The state government has decided to expand the scope of the scheme and is preparing to relax the eligibility criteria. It is important to have complete information regarding who is eligible for the Lado Lakshmi Yojana and how to apply for its benefits.
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini recently announced that the government is considering expanding the scope of the Deendayal Lado Lakshmi Yojana. The objective is to bring a larger number of women in the state under the scheme's ambit. Currently, the benefits are available only to families with an annual income of ₹1 lakh or less, but plans are underway to raise this limit to ₹1.80 lakh. This means that families with an annual income of up to ₹1.80 lakh will also be considered eligible under the scheme.
**Benefits of Other Schemes Will Also Continue**
The state government provides financial assistance of ₹2,100 per month to eligible women under this scheme. The government has now clarified that any woman receiving benefits or registered under this scheme will not be deprived of benefits available under other government schemes. CM Saini stated that eligible women availing the benefits of the Lado Lakshmi Yojana will continue to receive other government benefits, including pensions, without any adverse impact.
**Who Is Eligible for the Scheme?**
Women in Haryana aged 23 years or older can apply for this scheme.
Families in the state with an annual income of ₹1.80 lakh or less will be eligible for the scheme's benefits.
A woman who has moved to Haryana after marriage and has been residing there for the past 15 years will also be considered eligible for the scheme. A key feature is that the size of the family is not a barrier to availing the benefits of the scheme.
Who is ineligible for the scheme?
Women already receiving benefits under the Old Age Samman Allowance Scheme.
Widows and destitute women who are already receiving financial assistance.
Beneficiaries of the Haryana Financial Assistance for Persons with Disabilities scheme.
Recipients of the Ladli Social Security Allowance and Kashmiri migrant families.
Acid attack survivors who are already receiving an allowance for the same (to avoid double benefits).
