‘Aapki Poonji, Aapka Adhikaar’: Chief Minister Rekha Gupta Participates in the Campaign

Every Citizen’s Every Rupee is Safe; Every Rightful Beneficiary Will Receive Their Due: CM Rekha Gupta

₹85 Crore Returned to Genuine Claimants So Far: Chief Minister Rekha Gupta

District-Level Camps, Dedicated Helpdesks and Digital Facilities Simplify Process of Claiming Unclaimed Funds

New Delhi, Nov 2025 : Delhi Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta today participated in the ‘Aapki Poonji, Aapka Adhikaar’ programme held at the Dr Ambedkar International Centre, alongside Union Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary. The objective of this national campaign is to assure citizens across the country that every unclaimed rupee whether related to bank deposits, mutual funds, insurance, shares or dividends is entirely safe, and is being returned only to its rightful owner.

Under this campaign, camps are being organised in every district of Delhi. Each camp features a dedicated helpdesk where citizens can easily access information related to their unclaimed funds through digital facilities. Trained officials are assisting every family to ensure that the entire process is simple, accessible and trustworthy.

The Chief Minister said that this campaign brings genuine relief and dignity to middle-class and economically weaker families. Money that remained unclaimed for years once earned through hard work is now finally making its way back to its rightful beneficiaries. She added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi understood the concerns of ordinary families, recognised their difficulties, and paved the way for returning this unclaimed capital to the people swiftly, transparently and safely. This campaign has strengthened public confidence, and the Central Government has demonstrated through transparency, technology and citizen-friendly systems that people’s capital is in safe hands.

The Chief Minister said that, under the Prime Minister’s leadership, the country has witnessed unprecedented trust in banking and digital payments. She remarked that Indians’ savings habits were once limited, but initiatives such as zero-balance accounts, digital payments, direct benefit transfer (DBT) and financial inclusion have ensured banking access for every citizen.

Referring to her address, the Chief Minister highlighted that the trust that once took years to build has been greatly reinforced through banking reforms under the Prime Minister’s leadership. She said that earlier, due to corrupt systems, the benefits of government schemes did not reach the people directly; however, now the entire amount sent by the Central Government reaches the beneficiary without any leakage. This shift has brought a historic transformation in the Indian economy and in the lives of ordinary citizens.

‘Aapki Poonji, Aapka Adhikaar’: A campaign that strengthens trust

The Chief Minister said that returning unclaimed funds to their rightful owners is not merely a scheme, but an effort to strengthen the bond of trust between the government and the people. She stated that ₹85 crore has already been returned to rightful claimants a testament to the success of this initiative.

Delhi Government to organise extensive camps

The Chief Minister announced that the Delhi Government, in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance, will organise large-scale camps across the capital so that every citizen can access information regarding their unclaimed funds. She said the campaign’s details will be disseminated widely through digital platforms, television, radio and print media, ensuring that unclaimed assets held in bank accounts, insurance policies, shares and dividends are returned to their rightful owners. She added that this campaign will not only ensure that citizens receive what is rightfully theirs, but will also boost economic activity. The Chief Minister affirmed that the Delhi Government is committed to taking this campaign to every citizen.
