The Telangana government is moving swiftly to fulfill its election promises, especially those under the Six Guarantees scheme. As part of its continued efforts toward *women empowerment, the government is now preparing to launch the much-anticipated **Mahalakshmi Scheme, under which *eligible women will receive ₹2,500 directly into their bank accounts every month.
This initiative is aimed at uplifting the lives of nearly one crore women across Telangana, particularly those aged between 18 and 55 years who possess white ration cards.
What is the Mahalakshmi Scheme?
The Mahalakshmi Scheme is one of the six major guarantees announced by the Congress government in Telangana. After rolling out *free RTC bus travel for women, **200 units of free electricity, and **LPG cylinders at ₹500, the government is now focusing on providing *direct financial assistance.
According to officials, the scheme is likely to be implemented before the upcoming local body elections, making it a key part of the government’s strategy to strengthen support among women voters.
How Will the ₹2,500 Benefit Be Provided?
- The monthly ₹2,500 cash benefit will be deposited directly into the bank accounts of eligible women.
- Women aged 18–55 years with a valid white ration card will be considered eligible.
- Beneficiary data is reportedly being collected through SERP (Society for Elimination of Rural Poverty) and MEPMA (Mission for Elimination of Poverty in Municipal Areas).
Key Highlights:
- ₹2,500 monthly financial aid for women aged 18–55
- White ration card is mandatory for eligibility
- Scheme rollout expected before local body elections
- Data being collected via SERP and MEPMA departments

Government’s Vision: Empowering One Crore Women
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has repeatedly emphasized his vision of turning Telangana women into “Lakhpathis” — meaning financially independent individuals with strong economic backing. The Mahalakshmi Scheme is expected to be a significant step toward achieving this goal.
Officials believe that launching the scheme before elections will boost the government’s popularity and strengthen the trust of women beneficiaries across both urban and rural areas.
