Women eligible for the Delhi government's Lakshmi Yojana will start receiving pension letters from August 27, with the monthly financial assistance set to be credited directly to their bank accounts from September 1, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said on Tuesday.
The government will organise an event at Talkatora Stadium on August 27 to distribute the pension letters to beneficiaries. Gupta has also directed district committees to speed up the verification of applications so that eligible women can receive the benefits without delay.
