The ladli yojana delhi, Delhi's girl child scheme started in 2008, has been replaced by a revamped scheme called Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana from 1 Apr 2026. Please note that we run an independent information site, not a Delhi government service, so registrations, claims and account checks happen only through the Delhi government's own offices and portal.
If you have an old Ladli account for your daughter, or you are planning for a newborn girl, this page explains what changed, the deposit stages under the new scheme, who qualifies, and how old account holders may be able to claim their money.
What happened to the ladli yojana delhi
Delhi's Ladli Scheme was launched in 2008 to support the education of girls through deposits made in their names. From 1 Apr 2026, the Delhi government revamped it as the Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana, which some people also call the ladli lakhpati yojana. The aim is a bigger push towards girls' education, with deposits at birth, through school and into higher studies.
So if you search for the ladli yojana scheme delhi today, the scheme a newborn girl can join is Lakhpati Bitiya, not the old Ladli scheme. Girls who already had old Ladli accounts are covered in a separate section below.
Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana deposit stages
Under the new scheme, the government deposits money for the girl at fixed points in her life:
| Stage | Deposit |
|---|---|
| At birth | Rs 11,000 |
| Class 1 admission | Rs 5,000 |
| Class 6 admission | Rs 5,000 |
| Class 9 admission | Rs 5,000 |
| On passing Class 10 | Rs 5,000 |
| Class 12 admission | Rs 5,000 |
| During higher education | Rs 20,000, in phases |
With interest, these deposits are expected to grow to over Rs 1 lakh, which is where the name "Lakhpati Bitiya" comes from. The final figure depends on interest over the years, so treat "over Rs 1 lakh" as an estimate, not a fixed payout.
Who can join Lakhpati Bitiya
The reported conditions are:
- The girl must be born in Delhi.
- The family must have lived in Delhi for 3 years or more.
- Family income must be up to Rs 1.20 lakh.
- At most 2 girls per family can be covered.
Because the scheme is new, details such as documents, forms and the exact application route are still being set out. We have not verified them, so ask the Delhi Women and Child Development department or your local anganwadi before you apply, and keep proof of birth, residence and income ready.
Old Delhi Ladli accounts: unclaimed money
A large number of old Ladli accounts were never claimed. Reports say over 1.86 lakh old Ladli maturity accounts were unclaimed, and about Rs 90 crore was being released to about 30,000 old beneficiaries.
If your daughter, or you yourself, were enrolled under the old Delhi Ladli scheme, it is worth checking whether a matured amount is waiting. Gather whatever papers you have from the time of enrolment, such as the registration slip or account details, and contact the Delhi Women and Child Development department. Do not pay anyone who offers to "release" the money for a fee.
Ladli yojana delhi helpline and contact number
Many people search for a ladli yojana delhi helpline number, contact no or customer care number. We could not verify a current helpline for the old Ladli scheme or the new Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana, and printing an unchecked number could send you to the wrong person.
The safest route is to contact the Delhi Women and Child Development department through its official website or office, or ask at your local anganwadi. Be careful with numbers posted in comments, videos or social media. Fraudsters often post fake "customer care" numbers and then ask for an OTP or a fee.
Ladli behna yojana delhi: is there one?
Some people look up ladli behna yojana delhi expecting a monthly payment for women like Madhya Pradesh's scheme. Ladli Behna is an MP scheme for married women aged 21 to 60, and it is not run in Delhi. Delhi's Ladli scheme, now Lakhpati Bitiya, is for girls, with money deposited for their education.
For the MP scheme for women, see our Ladli Behna Yojana guide. For MP's girl child scheme, which is closer in idea to Delhi's, see the Ladli Laxmi Yojana page.
Delhi vs MP girl child schemes
Delhi's Lakhpati Bitiya and MP's Ladli Laxmi both support girls in stages, but the details differ:
| Point | Delhi Lakhpati Bitiya | MP Ladli Laxmi |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | Rs 11,000 at birth | Assurance certificate of Rs 1,18,000 |
| School stages | Class 1, 6, 9, passing 10, Class 12 | Class 6, 9, 11, 12 |
| Higher education | Rs 20,000 in phases | Rs 25,000 in two parts |
| End value | Expected over Rs 1 lakh with interest | Rs 1,00,000 at age 21, with conditions |
