 +**Quick Reply:** Check your record only on the official SUBHADRA portal. Its home page carries two buttons, **Official Login** and **Application Status**. The status screen asks for your 12-digit Aadhaar number, a declaration tick and an OTP. Never share your Aadhaar number or OTP with this website or any agent.
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +//Use only the official Subhadra portal to check your application or installment status.//
 +
 +**Quick answer.** To check your **Subhadra Yojana status 2026**, open [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]] and press **Application Status**. Enter your Aadhaar number, tick the declaration and complete the OTP. The portal shows **Application Status** as Approved, Rejected or Under Process, **e-KYC Status** as PENDING or COMPLETED, a **DBT Enable Status**, and one row per instalment marked **Successfully Disbursed** or **Payment Failed**.
 +
 +A word like **Rejected** or **Under Process** is a lot to take in on a small screen. Each label has a next step.
 +
 +**Under Process** means the file is still being checked. Nothing is payable yet. Come back after it changes, then read the payment rows.
 +
 +**Rejected** means you did not clear a recorded condition. The same screen lists the reason. Read that reason before you complain. Most of those grounds apply to your family, not only to you.
 +
 +If **DBT Enable Status** prints "DBT & Aadhaar seeding of bank account pending. Visit your bank branch.", the money cannot land until the bank maps your Aadhaar. Take your Aadhaar and passbook to the branch.
 +
 +SUBHADRA gives eligible women **Rs 50,000 over five years**, as **Rs 10,000 a year in two instalments of Rs 5,000**, released on Rakhi Purnima and on 8 March. This website cannot see your record. If a payment is still missing after those two checks, use the official grievance channel or RTI.

 +</WRAP>
 +
 +Every scheme fact below comes from the official SUBHADRA portal, the SUBHADRA Guidelines of August 2024, the Chief Minister's office and the Press Information Bureau.
 +
 +===== How to check Subhadra Yojana status 2026 =====
 +
 +Have the phone linked to your Aadhaar next to you. The OTP has to reach that number.
 +
 +  - Open [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]] and check the address bar reads exactly that.
 +  - Press **Application Status** on the home page. **Official Login** leads to the same Aadhaar and OTP step.
 +  - Enter your **Aadhaar number**, tick the declaration, and request the OTP on the mobile linked to your Aadhaar.
 +  - Enter the 6-digit OTP on the official portal. Do not read it out to a caller, a message sender or this website.
 +  - Read your record: name, Aadhaar number, spouse name, enrolment number, date of birth, district, block or ULB and GP or ward.
 +  - Read the second block: financial year, category, **e-KYC Status**, **e-KYC Mode**, status and rejected reasons.
 +  - Read the payment block: financial year, instalment, status, mode, date, bank and account.
 +  - If e-KYC shows PENDING, finish it on the portal or the **SUBHADRA Mobile application**.
 +  - If a payment row shows **Payment Failed**, check your Aadhaar-bank seeding, explained below.
 +
 +<WRAP center round tip 95%>
 +**Reminder.** This website does not check status. Only [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]], the helpline **14678** and your Mo Seba Kendra hold your real record. The Guidelines say the portal grievance system is integrated with the Jana Sunani portal, so a written grievance can also go through [[https://janasunani.odisha.gov.in|janasunani.odisha.gov.in]].
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +===== How to check beneficiary / installment details =====
 +
 +The portal row is not the same thing as money in the bank. Confirm any credit in your **passbook**, **SMS alerts** or **net banking**.
 +
 +Your payment record sits with your **Aadhaar-linked bank account**. The Guidelines say the money is credited by DBT through the **Aadhaar Payments Bridge System** into an Aadhaar-enabled and DBT-enabled **single-holder** account in the beneficiary's name.
 +
 +For each financial year the portal lists the instalment, whether it is **Successfully Disbursed** or **Payment Failed**, the payment mode, the credit date, the bank name and the account credited. Match a portal row against a line in your passbook instead of guessing.
 +
 +One more row matters. **DBT Enable Status** reads **Active** when your account can receive the money. If it cannot, the portal prints "DBT & Aadhaar seeding of bank account pending. Visit your bank branch." A **Mo Seba Kendra** operator can open your status and finish e-KYC free of charge.
 +
 +===== Who is eligible =====
 +
 +Two things have to be true. You must be a **woman resident of Odisha**, and **21 years or more and less than 60 years** on the qualifying date. Your age comes from the date of birth in your **Aadhaar card**, not any other document.
 +
 +The economic test has two routes:
 +
 +  * Your family is covered under the **National Food Security Act** or the **State Food Security Scheme**.
 +  * Or, with no NFSA or SFSS card, your **family income is not more than Rs 2.50 lakh** a year.
 +
 +The qualifying date is fixed for each year. For 2024-25 it was 1 July 2024, so the date of birth had to fall on or after 2 July 1964 and on or before 1 July 2003. Confirm the current year's qualifying date on the portal.
 +
 +Age also works pro rata. A woman who turns 21 later draws Rs 10,000 a year only for the remaining years. One who completes 60 stops.
 +
 +The Guidelines **exclude** a woman where she herself, or a member of her family, falls into any of these categories:
 +
 +  * Receives **financial assistance such as pension or scholarship of Rs 1,500 a month or more, or Rs 18,000 a year or more**, under any State or Central Government scheme.
 +  * Is a current or former **Member of Parliament** or **Member of the Legislative Assembly**.
 +  * Is an **income tax payee**.
 +  * Is an **elected public representative** in an urban local body or Panchayati Raj institution, excluding a Ward Member or Councillor.
 +  * Is a **regular or contractual employee** of the State Government, the Government of India, a PSU, a board, a local body or a government organisation, or draws a **pension after retirement**.
 +  * Is an **elected, nominated or appointed representative** in any government department, undertaking, board or organisation.
 +  * Owns a **four-wheeler**, other than tractors, mini-trucks, small commercial vehicles and similar light goods vehicles.
 +  * Owns more than **5 acres of irrigated** or **10 acres of non-irrigated land**.
 +
 +If you work as an ASHA, an Anganwadi worker, a Community Resource Person, a Master Book Keeper, or through an outsourcing agency, that work alone does not shut you out. The Guidelines say those honorarium workers are considered, if otherwise eligible. "Family" here carries its NFSA or SFSS meaning.
 +
 +===== Documents you need =====
 +
 +The OTP and the money both depend on these three things matching, as listed in the official Guidelines:
 +
 +  * **Aadhaar card** or Aadhaar number in your own name.
 +  * **Mobile number linked to that Aadhaar**, because the OTP and e-KYC run on it.
 +  * **Single-holder bank account** in your name that is **Aadhaar-enabled and DBT-enabled**.
 +
 +If you have no Aadhaar, or its data is wrong, the Guidelines require you to enrol or correct it first. If you lack a single-holder Aadhaar-enabled and DBT-enabled account, the scheme gives you the chance to open one and finish e-KYC.
 +
 +You can apply **online** or **offline** on a printed form. The Guidelines say pre-printed forms are supplied **free of cost** at Anganwadi centres, Block offices, Urban Local Body offices, Mo Seba Kendras and Common Service Centres, and the filled form goes to the nearest Mo Seba Kendra. Where the form and the Aadhaar disagree, the Aadhaar record is final. The preferred mode of e-KYC is **face authentication** through the SUBHADRA Mobile application, and the portal records e-KYC Mode as **OTP** or **Biometric**.
 +
 +===== What each status may mean =====
 +
 +The portal uses a small, fixed set of labels. Trust the exact words on your own screen, not a screenshot from a forwarded video.
 +
 +| Where you see it | Label the portal prints | What it means |
 +| Application Status | Approved | Your application has been accepted. |
 +| Application Status | Under Process | Still being checked. Nothing is payable yet. |
 +| Application Status | Rejected | You did not clear a condition. The screen lists the recorded reason. |
 +| e-KYC Status | PENDING | Identity check unfinished. No instalment is credited until it is. |
 +| e-KYC Status | COMPLETED | Identity check is done. |
 +| e-KYC Mode | OTP or Biometric | How e-KYC was completed. |
 +| DBT Enable Status | Active | Your bank account can receive the DBT credit. |
 +| DBT Enable Status | DBT & Aadhaar seeding of bank account pending. Visit your bank branch. | Your account is not linked for DBT. Fix it at your branch. |
 +| Payment row | Successfully Disbursed | That instalment was credited. Match it against your passbook. |
 +| Payment row | Payment Failed | That instalment did not reach the account. See the next section. |
 +| Opt-out status | Applicant has opted out. | The record shows you gave up the benefit. |
 +| Objection status | Objection received against the application | An objection is under scrutiny. |
 +
 +The grievance module prints fuller sentences. Where a payment failed after approval it says: "Application is approved. Payment could not be credited to your bank account No. ... due to bank or NPCI failure. Visit your bank for rectification." Where the application could not be processed at all it says: "Application could not be processed because of NPCI Failure due to bank related issues. Visit your bank for rectification". Both point at the same fix, at your bank.
 +
 +If your record reads Rejected, the portal names the reason from a fixed list of 13 entries. That list mirrors the exclusion list in the eligibility section above, plus two record checks, that the applicant is female and that the applicant is alive. Most of those grounds apply to your family, not only to you.
 +
 +===== Money not credited? Check e-KYC and DBT first =====
 +
 +If the instalment has not arrived, start here. Two checks fix most missing payments.
 +
 +  - **Complete e-KYC.** If e-KYC Status reads PENDING, no payment follows. Finish it on the portal or the SUBHADRA Mobile application.
 +  - **Seed Aadhaar with your bank.** The money travels through the Aadhaar Payments Bridge, so it lands only in the account mapped to your Aadhaar. If DBT Enable Status is not Active, take your Aadhaar and passbook to the branch and ask for **Aadhaar seeding** and **DBT enablement**.
 +
 +You can check the DBT link yourself. Use this guide to [[:check-bank-account-dbt-linked-aadhaar-seeding-status|check if your bank account is DBT-linked]]. Other common reasons: a joint account, a frozen or KYC-pending account, or a name mismatch between Aadhaar and the bank record. Fix these at your branch, then re-check after the next instalment date.
 +
 +===== Current Subhadra portal login: Aadhaar and OTP =====
 +
 +Older instructions and forwarded videos may describe a registered-mobile login or a direct status link. The portal is a single-page application, so deep links to inner pages do not open reliably from outside. Start at the home page every time. The click-by-click is in the first section above.
 +
 +  - Go to [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]] and confirm the domain before entering any identifier. Look-alike "status check" pages are common for this scheme.
 +  - Press **Application Status**, or **Official Login** if you also want to open a grievance.
 +  - Enter your Aadhaar number, read and tick the declaration, and request the OTP.
 +  - Complete the OTP step yourself on the official page.
 +  - Review the record, then confirm any credit separately in your passbook, bank app or SMS. A portal row and a bank credit are two different facts.
 +
 +If the Aadhaar-linked mobile is unavailable or the login fails, do not hand your OTP to an agent. Use the portal grievance option or call **14678**.
 +
 +<WRAP center round tip 95%>
 +**Tip.** Never share your OTP with anyone, not even someone claiming to be a government official. The SUBHADRA Guidelines state that any attempt to misguide applicants will be viewed most seriously and stringent action taken. For how look-alike pages work, see [[:fake-pm-scheme-scam-india|fake PM scheme scams]].
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +===== Subhadra Yojana payment schedule 2026 =====
 +
 +People search for the fifth instalment and for the first instalment of 2026, and both searches are right. They count different things. The **Guidelines** number instalments **within a year**: the first falls on Rakhi Purnima, the second on 8 March. Official announcements use a **running count** across the whole scheme. That is why a release can be both the first of the year and the fifth overall.
 +
 +**What is confirmed for 2026.** The Chief Minister's office records that the **fifth instalment** of Subhadra was launched on **28 August 2026**, Rakhi Purnima, at a state-level programme at Lathipada in Nayagarh district, and went directly to the accounts of **more than one crore three lakh women**, including more than two lakh thirty-three thousand in Nayagarh district.
 +
 +**What follows.** On the Guidelines schedule the next release falls on **International Women's Day, 8 March**. The department announces the exact date, so confirm it on [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]] or by calling **14678**, not from a forwarded message. The scheme runs five annual entitlements, 2024-25 to 2028-29.
 +
 +A single release covers more than a crore accounts, so credits do not all land on one day. Your money moves **only if e-KYC is COMPLETED** and your account is **Aadhaar-seeded and DBT-enabled** on the date the batch runs. If you applied late, your payment may fall in the **next cycle**. In 2024-25 all beneficiaries received the full Rs 10,000 from the date of launch, whenever their application was approved.
 +
 +There is also a separate reward. In each Gram Panchayat or Urban Local Body, 100 women who make the most digital transactions in a financial year receive an extra **Rs 500**.
 +
 +Government DBT cycles more broadly are covered in [[:pfms-payment-status-check-2026|PFMS payment status]] and [[:check-bank-account-dbt-linked-aadhaar-seeding-status|DBT-linked account checks]].
 +
 +===== Subhadra Yojana eligibility check online =====
 +
 +The final decision rests with the department. It verifies every application against government databases and, where needed, by field enquiry. You can still self-check first. The portal carries an **Eligibility Criteria** section for this. The full exclusion list is in the eligibility section above, and every bar there applies to your family too.
 +
 +**Quick self-check. You are likely eligible if you:**
 +
 +  * Are a **woman** and a **resident of Odisha**.
 +  * Are **21 or more and under 60** on the qualifying date, by the date of birth in your Aadhaar.
 +  * Are covered by **NFSA or SFSS**, or your **family income is not more than Rs 2.50 lakh** a year.
 +  * Have a **single-holder bank account** that is Aadhaar-enabled and DBT-enabled.
 +  * Have no **income tax payee** in the family and draw under **Rs 1,500 a month** from government schemes.
 +
 +Each applicant must **self-certify** her eligibility and file the related undertakings. Wrong information allows termination of the benefit, recovery of what was paid, and legal or administrative action for fraud. Where an administrative error causes an overpayment, the beneficiary must repay the excess. A beneficiary may also **opt out** on the portal.
 +
 +For the binding text, read the **SUBHADRA Guidelines** on [[https://wcd.odisha.gov.in/node/184943|wcd.odisha.gov.in]]. Other schemes for women are listed in [[:women-social-welfare-schemes-india|women's social welfare schemes in India]].
 +
 +===== Subhadra Yojana installment not received =====
 +
 +If your instalment has not arrived, work through these steps. Most cases are fixable at a bank counter.
 +
 +**Step 1: Confirm the application is Approved and e-KYC is COMPLETED.**
 +  - Open [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]] and press **Application Status**.
 +  - If e-KYC Status reads PENDING, finish it at once. No instalment is credited until it is done.
 +  - If Application Status reads **Under Process**, the file is still being checked and nothing is payable yet.
 +  - If it reads **Rejected**, read the recorded reason on the same screen first.
 +
 +**Step 2: Check DBT Enable Status.**
 +  - If it does not read **Active**, the portal tells you plainly to visit your bank branch.
 +  - Take your **Aadhaar card** and **passbook** and ask for **Aadhaar seeding** and **DBT enablement**.
 +  - The same check is explained in [[:check-bank-account-dbt-linked-aadhaar-seeding-status|how to check if your bank account is DBT-linked]].
 +
 +**Step 3: Verify the account is a single-holder account.**
 +  - The Guidelines require a single-holder Aadhaar-enabled and DBT-enabled account in the beneficiary's name.
 +  - If yours is joint, open a single-holder account, seed it with Aadhaar, and update it through the portal or a Mo Seba Kendra.
 +
 +**Step 4: Check for a freeze, pending bank KYC, or a name mismatch.**
 +  - A **frozen account** will reject an incoming DBT credit, and a **name mismatch** between Aadhaar and the bank record can also block payment.
 +  - Resolve both at your branch. If the portal shows **Payment Failed**, this is usually where the fault sits.
 +
 +**Step 5: Raise a grievance through an official channel.**
 +  - Use the grievance option inside the portal, which the Guidelines say is integrated with the Jana Sunani portal.
 +  - Call the toll-free helpline **14678** and note the reference number.
 +  - The Guidelines also provide **SUBHADRA Shibira**, grievance camps at district, block and ULB level.
 +  - Visit a **Mo Seba Kendra**, **Anganwadi centre** or **Block office** with your Aadhaar and passbook.
 +
 +**Step 6: File an RTI if the helpline and portal give no clear, dated answer.**
 +  - See [[#how-to-file-rti-for-subhadra-payment-delay|How to file RTI for Subhadra payment delay]] below.
 +

 +
 +===== Subhadra Yojana beneficiary list by district =====
 +
 +Subhadra runs in **all 30 districts of Odisha** for the period **2024-25 to 2028-29**.
 +
 +There is no public village search on the portal. What you get is your **own record**, opened with your Aadhaar and an OTP. The department's own screens do hold provisional eligible, e-KYC eligible and rejected lists at Gram Panchayat and ward level, but those sit behind the departmental login and are not published for public download. Treat any third-party website offering a "Subhadra beneficiary list" search as unofficial, and never enter your Aadhaar number on one.
 +
 +To check a district or village figure:
 +
 +  - For **your own name and status**, use **Application Status** on [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]].
 +  - For a **printed list at your level**, ask at the **Anganwadi centre**, **Block office** or **Urban Local Body office**, which run the offline side of the scheme.
 +  - For **district-wise counts**, file an **RTI to the District Social Welfare Officer**. The Guidelines make the DSWO the Member Convener of the District Level Monitoring Committee, chaired by the Collector and District Magistrate, so the figures sit in that office.
 +  - At **block level**, the Block Level Scrutiny Committee is chaired by the Block Development Officer with the Child Development Project Officer as Member Convener. Towns have Municipal Level and ULB Level Scrutiny Committees.
 +
 +<WRAP center round note 95%>
 +**Note.** District counts change with every round of verification, so a figure quoted on a blog is stale the moment it is published. The one district figure on the public record for 2026 comes from the Chief Minister's office, which stated that the fifth instalment covered more than two lakh thirty-three thousand eligible women in **Nayagarh district**, out of more than one crore three lakh across the state. For your own district, ask the **District Social Welfare Officer** or file an **RTI**. Office contacts are at [[https://odisha.gov.in|odisha.gov.in]].

 +
 +===== How to update bank account for Subhadra =====
 +
 +Update the account when the one on file cannot receive the money. That includes a **joint account** that should be a **single-holder account**, an account that is **frozen or inactive**, a new account **not yet seeded with Aadhaar** for DBT, a **name mismatch** between Aadhaar and bank records, a DBT Enable Status that is not **Active**, or a payment row that reads **Payment Failed**.
 +
 +  - **Step 1.** Open or confirm a **single-holder savings account** in your own name.
 +  - **Step 2.** Visit the bank with your **Aadhaar card** and **passbook** and request **Aadhaar seeding** and **DBT enablement**. Banks do not charge for this.
 +  - **Step 3.** Open [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]], sign in through **Official Login**, and look for the option to update your application details.
 +  - **Step 4.** If the portal does not allow the edit online, visit your nearest **Mo Seba Kendra**, **Common Service Centre**, **Block office** or **Anganwadi centre** with your Aadhaar, the old and new passbooks, and a written request.
 +  - **Step 5.** Afterwards, confirm the new account is DBT-enabled using the [[:check-bank-account-dbt-linked-aadhaar-seeding-status|DBT seeding status check guide]], and check that DBT Enable Status reads **Active**.
 +
 +<WRAP center round important 95%>
 +**Important.** Payment runs through the Aadhaar Payments Bridge, so the money goes to whichever account your Aadhaar is mapped to on the day the batch runs. Make the change well before a release date, not in the week of one.

 +If the helpline and portal have not given you a clear, dated answer, the **Right to Information Act, 2005** lets you ask for the record itself. The fee is small, it is waived for applicants below the poverty line, and the PIO must reply within **30 days**.
 +
 +File first with the **Public Information Officer** at the **District Social Welfare Officer's** office, which convenes the District Level Monitoring Committee. The other public authority is the **Women and Child Development Department, Odisha**, named in the Guidelines as the nodal department. Contacts are on [[https://wcd.odisha.gov.in|wcd.odisha.gov.in]].
 +
 +**Sample RTI questions for Subhadra:**
 +
 +> //To the PIO, [District Social Welfare Office / Women and Child Development Department, Odisha]//
 +> //Subject: Information under Section 6(1) RTI Act 2005, Subhadra Yojana//
 +> //1. The current recorded status of my application, enrolment number [number].//
 +> //2. The reason recorded for any delay, rejection or held instalment on my record.//
 +> //3. The date, amount and transaction reference of each instalment released to me, with the bank and account credited.//
 +> //4. Whether my e-KYC is recorded as COMPLETED, and if not, what is pending.//
 +> //5. Whether my bank account is recorded as DBT-enabled, and the date of the last update to that record.//
 +> //6. The number of Subhadra applications pending in this district, with the number approved and the number rejected.//
 +
 +The PIO must reply within **30 days** under **Section 7(1)**. If the reply is delayed, evasive or absent, file a **First Appeal** within **30 days** under **Section 19(1)**. The appeal path is in [[:file-first-appeal-rti-section-19-2026|our guide to the first appeal under Section 19]]. If that also fails, file a **Second Appeal** under **Section 19(3)** to the State Information Commission for Odisha. That path is in [[:rti-second-appeal-cic-sic|our guide to second appeals before the CIC or SIC]]. Draft the RTI with the [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/ai-rti-draft-app.html|RTI Drafter]], and read [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/book|The RTI Playbook]].
 +
 +Applicants below the poverty line do not pay the application fee. That route is in [[:claim-rti-fee-waiver-bpl-2026|how to claim the RTI fee waiver for BPL families]]. Confirm the current fee and mode of payment in the Odisha RTI Rules before you file. The general method is in [[:rti-for-government-scheme-delay|file RTI for a delayed government scheme benefit]], and the Odisha steps are in [[:file-rti-in-odisha|how to file an RTI in Odisha]].
 +
 +===== Complaint and helpdesk: official channels =====
 +
 +Use only official channels. The Guidelines warn that fraudulent practice by any agency or individual attracts stringent action.
 +
 +  * Call the toll-free helpline **14678**. That number is displayed on the SUBHADRA portal home page.
 +  * Open a grievance inside [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]]. The Guidelines say that system is integrated with [[https://janasunani.odisha.gov.in|janasunani.odisha.gov.in]].
 +  * Go to a **SUBHADRA Shibira**, a grievance camp at district, corporation, block or ULB level.
 +  * Reach the Women and Child Development Department on (0674) 2536775, email [email protected], Odisha State Secretariat, Sachivalaya Marg, Unit-2, Bhubaneswar 751001.
 +  * Walk into your nearest **Mo Seba Kendra**, **Anganwadi centre** or **Block office**.
 +
 +===== RTI angle: when the portal gives no clear answer =====
 +
 +The portal shows a label. It does not show the notes the office wrote behind that label. That is the gap RTI fills. File under **Section 6(1) of the RTI Act 2005** to the **Public Information Officer** of the implementing office. The full questions and the filing path are in the RTI section above.
 +
 +You can ask for facts the portal will not display, such as:
 +
 +  - The recorded stage of your application and the date it reached that stage.
 +  - The reason recorded for a rejection, and the criterion applied.
 +  - Whether a failed payment was reported back by the bank or by NPCI, and what the office then did.
 +  - The number of applications pending, approved and rejected in your district.
 +
 +> //To the PIO, [District Social Welfare Office / Women and Child Development Department, Odisha]//
 +> //Subject: Information under Section 6(1) RTI Act 2005, Subhadra Yojana//
 +> //1. The current recorded status of my application, enrolment number [number].//
 +> //2. The reason recorded for any delay, rejection or held instalment.//
 +> //3. The date and transaction reference of my last instalment, if released.//
 +
 +The PIO must reply within **30 days** under **Section 7(1)**. If there is no reply or an evasive one, file a **first appeal** within 30 days under **Section 19(1)**. Draft it fast with the [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/ai-rti-draft-app.html|RTI Drafter]], and read [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/book|The RTI Playbook]] for the full path.
 +
 +===== Subhadra vs other Odisha women welfare schemes =====
 +
 +Subhadra is Odisha's flagship women's scheme, but not the only one. The other large Odisha programme is **Mission Shakti**, and the two work differently.
 +
 +| Feature | Subhadra | Mission Shakti |
 +| Who it reaches | Individual women who apply and qualify | Women Self Help Groups, promoted in Odisha since 2001 |
 +| What it gives | Rs 50,000 over five years, as Rs 10,000 a year in two instalments of Rs 5,000 | Support aimed at economic independence for group members |
 +| How money moves | DBT through the Aadhaar Payments Bridge into a single-holder Aadhaar-enabled account | Through the self-help group structure |
 +| Age condition | 21 or more and less than 60 on the qualifying date | Set by group membership, not by this age band |
 +| Official portal | [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]] | [[https://missionshakti.odisha.gov.in|missionshakti.odisha.gov.in]] |
 +
 +Subhadra pays **Rs 10,000 a year in two instalments**. Other states run monthly cash schemes for women, so a monthly figure you have seen elsewhere is probably not Subhadra. Mission Shakti is **not an individual cash transfer**, and group membership does not by itself disqualify you. What does disqualify you is **financial assistance of Rs 1,500 a month or more** from any government scheme. Check what you already draw against that bar. If you moved from another state, check that state's scheme separately. Subhadra requires residence in Odisha.

 +  - Call **14678** and note the reference number.
 +  - Still no clear answer? File an **RTI under Section 6(1)** to the District Social Welfare Officer.

 +
 +===== Frequently asked questions =====
 +
 +==== How do I check Subhadra Yojana installment status? ====
 +
 +Open [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]] and press **Application Status**. Enter your Aadhaar number, tick the declaration and complete the OTP. The payment block lists each instalment with its financial year, status, payment mode, credit date, bank and account credited. A row reads either Successfully Disbursed or Payment Failed. Check your passbook too, because a portal row and a bank credit are separate facts.
 +
 +==== How much does Subhadra Yojana pay and when? ====
 +
 +The Guidelines provide Rs 50,000 per beneficiary at Rs 10,000 a year from 2024-25 to 2028-29, as two instalments of Rs 5,000. The first of a year falls on Rakhi Purnima and the second on 8 March. The money goes by DBT through the Aadhaar Payments Bridge into your single-holder Aadhaar-enabled account. Beneficiaries also get a SUBHADRA Card, an ATM-cum-debit card.
 +
 +==== Why is my Subhadra installment not credited? ====
 +
 +The two most common reasons are an e-KYC Status of PENDING and an account that is not Aadhaar-seeded and DBT-enabled. Finish e-KYC on the portal or the SUBHADRA Mobile application, then ask your bank for Aadhaar seeding and DBT enablement. A joint account also blocks payment. If the portal shows Payment Failed, it is pointing at a bank or NPCI problem. The full sequence is in [[#subhadra-yojana-installment-not-received|Subhadra instalment not received]].
 +
 +==== Is there any fee to apply or check status? ====
 +
 +No. Applying online and checking your status are free. The Guidelines say pre-printed forms are supplied free of cost at Anganwadi centres, Block offices, Urban Local Body offices, Mo Seba Kendras and Common Service Centres. Aadhaar seeding at a bank is free too. Do not pay an agent who promises faster approval.
 +
 +==== My name is missing from the list. Can I still apply? ====
 +
 +Yes, if you meet the conditions. Every eligible woman has to apply, online on the portal or offline on a free printed form at a Mo Seba Kendra, Anganwadi centre, Block office or Common Service Centre. Keep your Aadhaar, a single-holder Aadhaar-enabled account and the linked mobile ready. Confirm the current conditions and qualifying date in the Guidelines first.
 +
 +==== What is the Subhadra Yojana helpline number? ====
 +
 +The toll-free helpline is 14678, displayed on the SUBHADRA portal home page. The Women and Child Development Department can also be reached on (0674) 2536775 or at [email protected]. The Guidelines provide a centralised call centre and SUBHADRA Shibira grievance camps at district, block and ULB level. For a written, dated answer, file an RTI under Section 6(1).
 +
 +==== Can I check Subhadra status by Aadhaar number? ====
 +
 +Yes. The status screen takes your 12-digit Aadhaar number, a declaration tick and an OTP sent to the mobile linked to that Aadhaar. No registration number is needed. The portal flow can change, so trust the screen on **subhadra.odisha.gov.in**, not an old tutorial. If the login fails, call **14678**. Never share an OTP with anyone offering to check for you.
 +
 +==== What if I changed my bank account after applying? ====
 +
 +Update the details through the portal after signing in with your Aadhaar and OTP, or through a Mo Seba Kendra or Block office. The new account must be a **single-holder account** in your own name that is **Aadhaar-enabled and DBT-enabled**, because payment runs on the Aadhaar Payments Bridge. Then check that DBT Enable Status reads Active. The steps are in [[#how-to-update-bank-account-for-subhadra|How to update bank account for Subhadra]].
 +
 +==== Can a married woman get Subhadra? ====
 +
 +Yes. Marriage is not an exclusion. The Guidelines list the ineligibility grounds and none concerns marital status. The status screen even carries a field for spouse or husband name. What decides your case is residence in Odisha, age on the qualifying date, NFSA or SFSS cover or family income within Rs 2.50 lakh, and the family bars on income tax, government employment, land, vehicles and elected office.
 +
 +==== How long does it take for the instalment to arrive after approval? ====
 +
 +Instalments go out in batches on Rakhi Purnima and on 8 March, and a single release covers more than a crore accounts, so credits do not all land on the same day. Once your application is Approved, e-KYC is COMPLETED and DBT Enable Status reads Active, your payment moves with the next batch. If that batch has run, it falls in the following cycle. The portal records the actual credit date.
 +
 +==== Is Subhadra money taxable? ====
 +
 +The Guidelines provide for Rs 5,000 to be credited per instalment and make no provision for any deduction, so the scheme withholds nothing at source. They do not deal with the beneficiary's own tax position. Put any income tax question to a qualified adviser. Note separately that an income tax payee in the family is itself a ground of ineligibility.
 +
 +==== Can I get Subhadra and Mission Shakti benefits both? ====
 +
 +Mission Shakti works through Women Self Help Groups while Subhadra is an individual benefit, so group membership is not itself a bar. The Guidelines disqualify a woman who receives assistance such as pension or scholarship of Rs 1,500 a month or more, or Rs 18,000 a year or more, under any government scheme. Measure what you draw against that figure, and confirm on the [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|official portal]].
 +
 +==== Can I file RTI if my Subhadra instalment is delayed? ====
 +
 +Yes. Under **Section 6(1) of the RTI Act 2005** you can ask the District Social Welfare Officer or the Women and Child Development Department for the recorded status, the reason for the delay, and the transaction details of each instalment released to you. The PIO must reply within **30 days**. An RTI reply is a dated written record. A helpline call is not. The letter and the path are in [[#how-to-file-rti-for-subhadra-payment-delay|How to file RTI for Subhadra payment delay]].
