Mahalakshmi: Rs 2,500 monthly financial assistance to women

The manifesto promised Rs 2,500 per month in direct financial assistance to women under the Mahalakshmi guarantee. As of July 2026 no approved-source evidence was found that this monthly cash transfer has been launched or that any instalment has been disbursed to beneficiaries, even though the two other Mahalakshmi components (free bus travel and subsidised LPG) are operational. The commitment was framed as part of a set of guarantees intended for rollout within the government's first 100 days, and roughly two and a half years have elapsed without disbursement. The blocker described in reporting is the state's own fiscal capacity rather than any external constraint such as a court order or central approval, so this does not qualify as outside-attribution. This verdict records that no approved-source evidence of delivery of the cash component was found; with a measurable amount promised and substantial time elapsed, it is a strong candidate for a broken verdict, held at pending only because the government's term runs to December 2028. Budget: the state has cited large aggregate allocations for the six guarantees, but no approved-source evidence of allocation or utilisation specific to the Rs 2,500 cash transfer was found.
