NEW DELHI: The Delhi cabinet has approved a scheme to provide monthly financial assistance of ₹1,000 to women in the national capital, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal said on Thursday, adding that the scheme is slated to be raised to ₹2,100 after the 2025 assembly elections.

The scheme for financial assistance to all women in Delhi is among the pivotal elements of the party's outreach ahead of the elections slated in early 2025.

Kejriwal, however, clarified that the money would only be credited into the bank accounts of beneficiaries after the elections.

"The elections are likely to be announced in the next 15 days so it is not possible to transfer the money into your accounts now. But the scheme has been implemented," Kejriwal said at an event at the AAP headquarters.

He added that in light of inflation, the government will raise the scheme to ₹2,100 a month after the elections.
