Quick answer
The Delhi Lakshmi Yojana installment is ₹2,500 per month for an approved beneficiary. Reporting of the scheme guidelines describes it being applied as a combination of a savings deposit in the beneficiary’s own name and a digital wallet credit, rather than paid entirely as unrestricted cash. We do not publish installment dates that have not been officially confirmed.
What the installment is
One approved woman per eligible family receives ₹2,500 per month. That figure is the headline benefit of the scheme and is consistent across the official portal and reporting.

The monthly assistance is not necessarily paid out as unrestricted cash. Reporting of the scheme guidelines describes two structures a beneficiary may choose between.
| Choice | How ₹2,500 per month is applied |
|---|---|
| Option 1 | ₹1,500 into a recurring/fixed deposit in the beneficiary’s name and ₹1,000 into a digital (CBDC / e-Rupee) wallet. |
| Option 2 | The full ₹2,500 into a recurring/fixed deposit in the beneficiary’s name. |
Reported by mainstream news outlets from the scheme guidelines. Confirm the option applicable to you on the official portal before choosing.
In practice this means a beneficiary who chose the split option would see a smaller spendable amount each month, with the balance accumulating in a deposit held in her name. Reported Moneycontrol described the scheme as a hybrid cash-transfer and savings arrangement, and reporting by PTI carried in The Economic Times described a recurring-deposit maturity date currently set for 31 July 2029, with the Council of Ministers able to review the arrangement after two years. We have not verified those specifics on an official page, so treat them as indicative and confirm on the portal.
Why the deposit component matters
It changes what the benefit is for. A pure cash transfer supports monthly spending. A part-deposit design also builds a lump sum over time. Whether that suits you is a genuine question worth thinking about before choosing an option — and it is a decision to make on the official portal, with the current terms in front of you, not on the basis of a summary.
