Will girls from other states studying in Delhi be eligible for the Lakhpati Bitiya scheme? Learn the rules.

According to the rules of the Lakhpati Bitiya scheme, only girls born in Delhi or whose families have lived in Delhi for at least three years are eligible for the scheme.

The Delhi government launched the Lakhpati Bitiya scheme to financially secure the education and future of girls. Expanding the Ladli scheme, the Delhi government has now implemented it as the Lakhpati Bitiya scheme. The scheme aims to provide financial assistance to girls from birth to graduation or diploma completion, so that they do not have to interrupt their studies due to lack of funds.

Under the scheme, the government will deposit funds into girls' accounts in a phased manner, which, including interest, will exceed ₹1 lakh by the time they reach the age of 21. However, many questions are being raised about this scheme. In such a situation, let us tell you today whether girls from other states studying in Delhi will also benefit from the Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana and what the rules are regarding this.

Will daughters from other states also benefit from the scheme?

According to the rules of the Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana, this scheme is only available to girls born in Delhi, whose families have lived in Delhi for at least three years, and whose family's annual income does not exceed ₹1.20 lakh. This means that if a girl is studying in Delhi but was born in another state or whose family is not a permanent resident of Delhi, she will not be eligible for this scheme. According to this scheme, only a maximum of two daughters per family can benefit from this scheme. However, some conditions are relaxed for daughters living in government or licensed daycare centers.

How much money is available under the Lakhpati Yojana?

Under the Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana, the government will deposit funds into the daughter's Aadhaar-linked account in different phases. ₹11,000 will be deposited into the account at the time of birth. After this, Rs. 5 will be deposited for passing Class 1, 6, 9, 10, and 12. An additional Rs. 20,000 will be provided for graduation or diploma completion. Overall, under this scheme, the government will deposit approximately Rs. 56,000 into daughters' accounts, which, including interest, will grow to over Rs. 1 lakh by the age of 21. This amount will be transferred directly to their accounts through DBT.

How can I apply for the scheme?

Applications for the Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana will begin on April 1, 2026. Registration will be required on Delhi's e-District portal. A birth certificate, Aadhaar card, income certificate, Delhi residency certificate, and bank account details will be required for the application.
