Working 100% fine. With the ‘Pink Card’, no private individual is getting the benefit of this journey and this is troubling some people.

You don’t need to worry and you can get your ‘Pink Card’ made easily. Will Saheli like the pink card? Pink Saheli Card is fully working.

Tap it. Be worry free.

Earlier, President Draupadi Murmu launched four women welfare schemes of the Delhi government at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium. According to officials, the four schemes are ‘Saheli Pink Smart Card’, Free LPG Cylinder Scheme, and ‘Meri Punji Mera Adhikar’.

The Pink Card was introduced under the National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) framework, which provides free bus travel to eligible women and transgender residents. The card will also allow payment travel on metro and regional rapid transit systems through a single touch-free smart card.

The cards will be issued at around 50 DM/SDM offices and selected DTC centres, whose eligibility will be verified through Aadhaar and linked to the beneficiary’s mobile number. The Chief Minister said that this initiative will prove to be a milestone in making public transport more accessible, safe and digital.

Two free LPG cylinders during festivals, this scheme will be provided through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). An amount equal to the current price of a cylinder will be deposited in the Aadhaar linked bank account of the head of the family. About 15.

50 lakh ration card holding families will benefit from this scheme. The third initiative, ‘Delhi Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana’ focuses on the financial empowerment of daughters. Under this scheme, Rs 56,000 will be deposited in the name of the girl child in installments, which with interest is expected to exceed Rs 1 lakh by the time she turns 21.

The fourth measure includes distribution of pending dues under ‘Meri Punji Mera Adhikar’, thereby ensuring that the financial rights of citizens are addressed in a timely and transparent manner.
