Delhi HC asks why MP/MLA sign-off is needed for Lakshmi Yojana
The Delhi High Court has asked the Delhi government to explain why women need an endorsement from a local MP or MLA to receive benefits under the Lakshmi Yojana, which provides ₹2,500 monthly to eligible beneficiaries. The court remarked that demanding such an endorsement is unjustifiable when eligibility can easily be confirmed using official documents. Additionally, the court pointed out that the scheme itself does not contain any such requirement for an MP or MLA's approval.
