In an unprecedented move, two departments of Delhi Government have released public notices and disowned the registration process started by Chief Minister Atishi and former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for two schemes announced by the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the National Capital.

According to a public notice, the Women and Child Development Department declared that any private person or political party indulged in collecting information from citizens through forms and registration processes in the name of the 'Mahila Samman Yojana' was "committing fraud.

The Delhi government further advised people of the national capital “not to fall prey to the false promises of this non-existent scheme as these are misleading and without any authority.”

The government department also cautioned citizens about the risks of sharing personal details, such as bank account information, voter ID cards, and phone numbers, which could result in privacy breaches.
