The former chief minister also clarified, despite the fact that registrations begin tomorrow, the money won't be paid immediately because the dates for the Delhi Assembly elections will be announced within the next 10-15 days.
Arvind Kejriwal, the Aam Aadmi Party's chief, announced on Thursday that the Delhi Cabinet had approved a proposal to provide financial assistance for women older than 18.
The former Delhi chief minister also announced that Rs. 1,000 in assistance -- initially announced in March - would be increased to Rs. 2,100 in case the AAP returns to power at the upcoming Assembly elections.
Kejriwal said the money wouldn't be credited to bank accounts because elections were expected to be announced shortly. However, he added that registrations for Mukhyamantri Mahila Yojana would begin tomorrow.
Kejriwal, who was in the company of Delhi Chief Minister Atishi at an event for the Mahila Samman Yojana, said: "Registrations will start tomorrow and will cost Rs 2,100 instead of Rs 1,000."
"I promised that I would give Rs 1,000 each woman. Some women told me that the inflation would make Rs 1,000 not enough. All women will receive Rs 2,100 deposited in their accounts. The proposal was approved by the cabinet meeting, which was chaired this morning by Atishi.
The Mukhyamantri Samman Yojna, launched by the Kejriwal government in March of this year, provides Rs 1,000 per woman aged above 18 years old living in Delhi.
The Delhi initiative resembled Madhya Pradesh’s Ladli Behna Yojana. Under this scheme, women from lower and middle class homes receive a transfer of Rs 1,000 per month into their account.
In his speech today, the former chief minister said that the scheme will prove to be a boon to the Delhi government because it will "be blessed by mothers and sister" who benefit from the monthly funding.
We consider it a privilege to assist them. We overcome the greatest obstacles together with Delhi's 2 crore people. "No obstacle can stop us from doing good for the citizens of the city", he said.
Kejriwal, who slammed the BJP for its scheme announcement in March, said he hoped it would be implemented by at least May.
"But they conspired to send me to prison based on a fraudulent case." Since I returned from prison, I've worked with Atishi to implement this plan," Kejriwal stated, referring his arrest by Enforcement Directorate in march in connection with the Delhi liquor policy.
The Supreme Court granted bail to him on September 13, and he was released from Tihar jail. He resigned from his position as Delhi Chief Minister four days later.
The 70-member Delhi Assembly is expected to hold elections in January 2025. AAP has so far published two lists of candidates for the polls
