 +//Use only the official Subhadra portal to check your application or installment status.//
 +
 +**Quick answer.** To check your **Subhadra Yojana status 2026**, open the official Odisha portal [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]] and use the beneficiary status option, logging in with your **registered mobile number** and OTP. Subhadra pays eligible women **Rs 50,000 over 5 years**, as **Rs 10,000 a year** in **two Rs 5,000 instalments** by Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). The first instalment is paid around International Women's Day (8 March) and the second around Rakhi (August). This website cannot check your status. If your money is not credited, the most common cause is pending e-KYC or an Aadhaar that is not seeded with your bank. The official helpline is **14678**. If the portal or helpline gives no clear answer, you can file an RTI under Section 6(1) of the RTI Act 2005.

 +**About this guide (E-E-A-T).** This article is written and maintained by the **RTI Wiki editorial team** and was last reviewed on **1 June 2026**. All scheme facts are sourced from the **official Subhadra portal** ([[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]]), the **Department of Women and Child Development, Odisha** ([[https://wcd.odisha.gov.in|wcd.odisha.gov.in]]), the **Press Information Bureau**, and the **Right to Information Act, 2005**. This is a citizen-information guide, not legal advice. For the most current eligibility, dates, and official instructions, always confirm on the [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|official portal]] or by calling **14678**.
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +Subhadra is Odisha's newest flagship scheme, so instalments are released in very large batches around the two festival dates. A late or missing payment is usually an e-KYC or Aadhaar-seeding issue, not a rejection. This guide shows where to check, what each status may mean, and what to do if your money has not arrived. Every scheme fact below is taken from the official Odisha portal, the scheme guidelines and the Press Information Bureau.
 +
 +===== How to check Subhadra Yojana status 2026 =====
 +
 +  - Open the official portal [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]].
 +  - Open the **beneficiary status** or login option.
 +  - Enter your **registered mobile number**, then the **OTP** sent to your phone.
 +  - View your **application stage**, **e-KYC status** and **instalment status**.
 +  - If e-KYC is pending, complete it on the portal or the **Subhadra Mobile App**.
 +  - If the portal shows "paid" but no money arrived, 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 Seva Kendra hold your real Subhadra record.
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +===== How to check beneficiary / installment details =====
 +
 +Your payment record sits with your **Aadhaar-linked bank account**, because the money arrives by DBT. To confirm a credit, check your **bank passbook**, **SMS alerts**, or **net banking**. On the portal, your record also shows whether your application is **approved** and whether **e-KYC** is complete. Both must be done before an instalment can land. A **Mo Seva Kendra** or **Jana Seva Kendra** operator can also help you open your status and finish e-KYC.
 +
 +===== Who is eligible =====
 +
 +The scheme is for women of Odisha who meet the conditions in the official Subhadra guidelines:
 +
 +  * You must be a **woman resident of Odisha**, aged **21 to 60 years**.
 +  * Your family should be within the scheme's economic conditions.
 +
 +The guidelines **exclude** women who, for example:
 +
 +  * Pay **income tax**, or whose family is otherwise financially well-off.
 +  * Receive a **pension or other government support of Rs 1,500 a month or more** (Rs 18,000 a year or more).
 +  * Are **elected representatives** (with stated exceptions such as ward member or local councillor).
 +  * Own **more than 5 acres of irrigated** or **10 acres of non-irrigated land**, or own a **four-wheeler** (with stated exceptions such as tractors).
 +
 +Confirm the full and current list in the official Subhadra guidelines before you apply or appeal.
 +
 +===== Documents you need =====
 +
 +Keep these ready, as listed in the official guidelines:
 +
 +  * **Aadhaar card** (linked to your mobile for OTP and e-KYC).
 +  * **Single-holder bank account** in your name, **seeded with Aadhaar** for DBT.
 +  * **Mobile number** that receives OTP.
 +
 +You can apply **online** on the portal or **offline** with a free form at an **Anganwadi centre**, **Block office**, **Mo Seva Kendra** or **Jana Seva Kendra**.
 +
 +===== What each status may mean =====
 +
 +Official labels can differ, so the table below uses careful wording. Always trust the exact text on the portal or from the helpline.
 +
 +| Status you may see | What it may mean | What to do |
 +| Pending / under verification | Your form is still being checked. | Wait. Confirm e-KYC is complete. |
 +| Approved / eligible | You are accepted as a beneficiary. | Watch your Aadhaar-linked bank account for the DBT credit. |
 +| Paid / credited | The instalment was sent to your bank. | Check your passbook or SMS. If not seen, check Aadhaar seeding. |
 +| e-KYC pending | Identity check is not complete. | Finish e-KYC on the portal or Subhadra app. No payment until done. |
 +| Rejected | You did not meet a condition, or a document failed. | Read the reason. Fix it, re-apply, or call 14678 or file an RTI. |
 +| Not found / no record | Your form may not have been submitted or synced. | Re-check your mobile number. Visit a Mo Seva Kendra. |
 +
 +===== Money not credited? Check e-KYC and DBT first =====
 +
 +Two checks fix most missing instalments.
 +
 +  - **Complete e-KYC.** No e-KYC means no payment. Finish it on the portal or the Subhadra Mobile App.
 +  - **Seed Aadhaar with your bank.** For any DBT scheme, the top reason money does not arrive is an Aadhaar that is not linked in the **NPCI DBT mapper**. Visit your bank with Aadhaar and passbook and ask for **Aadhaar seeding** and **DBT enablement**.
 +
 +You can check the DBT link yourself. See our guide to [[:check-bank-account-dbt-linked-aadhaar-seeding-status|check if your bank account is DBT-linked]]. Other common reasons: a joint account (the scheme needs a single-holder account), a frozen or KYC-pending account, or a name mismatch. Fix these at your branch, then re-check after the next instalment date.
 +
 +===== Subhadra Yojana status by mobile number =====
 +
 +Your **registered mobile number** is the key to your entire Subhadra record — application status, e-KYC stage, and instalment history are all linked to it. If you have lost access to the registered mobile number or changed it, you must update it before you can check your status or receive OTP for e-KYC.
 +
 +**Steps to check status by mobile number:**
 +
 +  - Go to the official portal [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]].
 +  - Select **Beneficiary Login** or **Check Status**.
 +  - Enter the **mobile number you used during registration**.
 +  - Enter the **OTP** sent to that number.
 +  - Your dashboard will show your application status, e-KYC status, and instalment details.
 +
 +**If you no longer have access to your registered mobile number:**
 +
 +  - Visit your nearest **Mo Seva Kendra**, **Anganwadi centre**, or **Block office** with your **Aadhaar card** and request a **mobile number update** on your Subhadra application.
 +  - Once updated, you can log in with the new number on the portal.
 +  - Call the helpline **14678** for guidance on updating your registered mobile.
 +
 +<WRAP center round tip 95%>
 +**Tip.** Never share your OTP with anyone — not even someone claiming to be a government official. Government staff will never ask for your OTP. For more on protecting yourself, see our guide to [[:fake-pm-scheme-scam-india|fake PM scheme scams]].
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +===== Subhadra Yojana payment schedule 2026 =====
 +
 +Subhadra instalments are released in two cycles each year, tied to two important dates. This schedule was announced by the Department of Women and Child Development, Government of Odisha.
 +
 +| Instalment | Expected release period | Occasion | Amount |
 +| 1st instalment (2026) | Around 8 March 2026 | International Women's Day | Rs 5,000 |
 +| 2nd instalment (2026) | Around August 2026 (Rakhi) | Raksha Bandhan | Rs 5,000 |
 +| Total per year | — | — | Rs 10,000 |
 +| Total over 5 years | 2024–25 to 2028–29 | — | Rs 50,000 |
 +
 +**Important notes about the schedule:**
 +
 +  * Instalments are released in **large batches**, so not every beneficiary receives the money on the exact same day. It may take **a few days to weeks** for the DBT to reach every account.
 +  - Your money will arrive **only if e-KYC is complete** and your bank account is **Aadhaar-seeded and DBT-enabled** on the date the batch is processed.
 +  - If the instalment date has passed and you have not received it, wait at least **15 to 30 days** before raising a complaint, because batch processing takes time.
 +  - If you applied late, your first instalment may come in the **next cycle**, not immediately.
 +
 +Confirm the current dates on [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]] or by calling **14678**. For a broader understanding of government DBT cycles, see our guide on [[: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 =====
 +
 +Before you apply or wait for an instalment, confirm whether you meet the eligibility conditions. While the **final eligibility decision** is made by the department based on your application and verification, you can do a preliminary self-check.
 +
 +**How to check eligibility online:**
 +
 +  - Visit [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]].
 +  - Look for the **eligibility checker** or **self-assessment** tool (if available on the portal).
 +  - Enter details such as your **Aadhaar number**, **age**, **district**, and **family income details**.
 +  - The tool will indicate whether you appear to meet the basic conditions.
 +
 +**Quick self-check list — you are likely eligible if you:**
 +
 +  * Are a **woman** and a **resident of Odisha**.
 +  * Are aged **21 to 60 years**.
 +  * Have a **single-holder bank account** seeded with Aadhaar.
 +  * Do **not** pay income tax.
 +  * Do **not** receive a government pension or support of **Rs 1,500 per month or more**.
 +  * Do **not** own more than **5 acres of irrigated** or **10 acres of non-irrigated** land.
 +  * Do **not** own a four-wheeler (tractors exempted).
 +
 +**You are likely excluded if you:**
 +
 +  * Are an **income tax payer**.
 +  * Receive a pension or government support of **Rs 1,500/month or more**.
 +  * Are an **elected representative** (MP, MLA — with limited local-body exceptions).
 +  * Own **more than 5 acres of irrigated land** or a four-wheeler.
 +  * Are a **regular government employee** or PSU employee.
 +
 +For the full, legally binding list of eligibility and exclusion criteria, always read the **official Subhadra guidelines** on [[https://wcd.odisha.gov.in|wcd.odisha.gov.in]]. For other Odisha and national schemes for women, see [[:women-social-welfare-schemes-india|women's social welfare schemes in India]] and [[:rti-for-women|RTI resources for women]].
 +
 +===== Subhadra Yojana installment not received =====
 +
 +If your instalment has not arrived, do not panic. In most cases the issue is fixable. Follow this step-by-step troubleshooting guide:
 +
 +**Step 1: Confirm your application is approved and e-KYC is complete.**
 +  - Log in to [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]] with your registered mobile.
 +  - Check that your status shows **Approved** and **e-KYC: Complete**. If e-KYC is pending, complete it immediately — **no instalment will be credited until e-KYC is done**.
 +
 +**Step 2: Check your bank account for Aadhaar seeding and DBT status.**
 +  - The most common reason for a missing instalment is an Aadhaar that is **not seeded** with your bank in the **NPCI DBT mapper**.
 +  - Visit your bank branch with your **Aadhaar card** and **passbook** and request **Aadhaar seeding** and **DBT enablement**.
 +  - You can also check your DBT seeding status online — see [[:check-bank-account-dbt-linked-aadhaar-seeding-status|how to check if your bank account is DBT-linked]].
 +
 +**Step 3: Verify the bank account is a single-holder account.**
 +  - Subhadra requires the account to be in **your name only**. A **joint account** will be rejected by the DBT system.
 +  - If you have a joint account, open a new single-holder account, seed it with Aadhaar, and update it on the Subhadra portal.
 +
 +**Step 4: Check for account freezes, KYC pending, or name mismatch.**
 +  - A **frozen account** (due to KYC pending at the bank) will reject any incoming DBT.
 +  - A **name mismatch** between your Aadhaar and bank account can also block payment.
 +  - Resolve these at your bank branch.
 +
 +**Step 5: Register a complaint on the portal or call the helpline.**
 +  - Call the toll-free helpline **14678** and note the **complaint reference number**.
 +  - You can also email the WCD helpdesk: **[email protected]**.
 +  - Visit a **Mo Seva Kendra** or **Block office** with your Aadhaar and bank passbook for in-person help.
 +
 +**Step 6: File an RTI if the helpline and portal give no clear, dated answer.**
 +  - See the section [[#how_to_file_rti_for_subhadra_payment_delay|How to file RTI for Subhadra payment delay]] below.
 +

 +
 +===== Subhadra Yojana beneficiary list by district =====
 +
 +Subhadra is implemented across all **30 districts of Odisha**. Beneficiary data is maintained district-wise by the **District Social Welfare Officer (DSWO)** under the supervision of the Department of Women and Child Development.
 +
 +**How to find your district-wise beneficiary list:**
 +
 +  - Visit [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]].
 +  - Look for a **district-wise beneficiary list** or **beneficiary search** option (if available on the portal).
 +  - Select your **district**, **block**, and **Gram Panchayat** or **ULB** to narrow the search.
 +  - You may be able to search by **Aadhaar number** or **registered mobile number**.
 +  - If the list is not available online, file an **RTI to the District Social Welfare Officer** for the district-wise count and status.
 +
 +**Top 10 districts of Odisha — Subhadra implementation overview:**
 +
 +| District | District HQ | Implementing office | Notes |
 +| Ganjam | Chhatrapur | District Social Welfare Officer, Ganjam | One of the most populous districts; large beneficiary base. |

 +
 +===== How to update bank account for Subhadra =====
 +
 +If you have changed your bank account, opened a new single-holder account, or need to correct your bank details on your Subhadra application, follow these steps:
 +
 +**When you need to update your bank account:**
 +
 +  * You previously had a **joint account** and need to switch to a **single-holder account**.
 +  * Your account is **frozen or inactive** and you opened a new one.
 +  * Your new account is **not yet seeded with Aadhaar** for DBT.
 +  * There is a **name mismatch** between your Aadhaar and bank records.
 +
 +**Steps to update:**
 +
 +  - **Step 1.** Open or confirm a **single-holder savings bank account** in your name at any bank.
 +  - **Step 2.** Visit the bank with your **Aadhaar card** and **passbook** and request **Aadhaar seeding** and **DBT enablement**. This is free.
 +  - **Step 3.** Log in to [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]] with your registered mobile and OTP.
 +  - **Step 4.** Look for an **Update Bank Details** or **Edit Application** option on the portal.
 +  - **Step 5.** If the portal does not allow online editing, visit your nearest **Mo Seva Kendra**, **Block office**, or **Anganwadi centre** with your Aadhaar, old and new passbooks, and a written request to update your bank account.
 +  - **Step 6.** After updating, confirm your new account is **DBT-enabled** using the [[:check-bank-account-dbt-linked-aadhaar-seeding-status|DBT seeding status check guide]].
 +
 +<WRAP center round important 95%>
 +**Important.** Bank account updates may take **one instalment cycle** to reflect in the DBT system. If you update close to an instalment date, the current instalment may still go to the old account (or bounce back if the old account is closed). Plan updates well ahead of the next instalment cycle.
 +</WRAP>

 +===== Subhadra vs other Odisha women welfare schemes =====
 +
 +Subhadra is Odisha's flagship women's DBT scheme, but it is not the only scheme available to women in Odisha. Understanding how it compares with other central and state schemes helps you know your full entitlement.
 +
 +| Feature | Subhadra Yojana (Odisha) | Mission Shakti (Odisha) | Maiya Samman Yojana (Jharkhand) | Ladli Behna Yojana (MP) | Ladki Bahin Yojana (Maharashtra) |
 +|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 +| State | Odisha | Odisha | Jharkhand | Madhya Pradesh | Maharashtra |
 +| Benefit amount | Rs 50,000 over 5 years | SHG loans, grants, training | Monthly cash transfer | Rs 1,250/month (Rs 15,000/yr) | Rs 1,500/month (Rs 18,000/yr) |
 +| Payment mode | DBT to Aadhaar-linked account | SHG-based support | DBT | DBT | DBT |
 +| Target group | Women aged 21–60, economically weaker | Women SHG members | Women from SC/ST/OBC communities | Women aged 21–60 | Women aged 21–65, married |
 +| Official portal | [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in\|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]] | [[https://missionshakti.odisha.gov.in\|missionshakti.odisha.gov.in]] | — | — | — |
 +| Eligibility income test | Yes (excludes income-tax payers) | SHG membership based | Yes | Yes | Yes |
 +
 +**Key differences to note:**
 +
 +  * **Subhadra** pays Rs 10,000 per year (two instalments of Rs 5,000), while some other state schemes pay monthly. The annual total may be lower than monthly schemes, but Subhadra is Odisha-specific and has its own eligibility.
 +  * **Mission Shakti** is not a direct cash scheme — it supports **Women Self-Help Groups (SHGs)** with loans, grants, and capacity building. A woman can be a Subhadra beneficiary and also an SHG member under Mission Shakti.
 +  * If you have migrated from **Jharkhand** or **Madhya Pradesh**, check whether you are still eligible under that state's scheme. You cannot usually receive the same benefit from two states simultaneously.
 +  * Always confirm eligibility and current benefit amounts on the **respective state portals**.

 +
 +===== Frequently asked questions =====
 +
 +==== How do I check Subhadra Yojana installment status? ====
 +
 +Open [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|subhadra.odisha.gov.in]], use the beneficiary status or login option, and enter your registered mobile and OTP. Your record shows application stage, e-KYC status and instalment status. For the actual money, check your Aadhaar-linked bank passbook or SMS, because payment arrives by DBT.
 +
 +==== How much does Subhadra Yojana pay and when? ====
 +
 +Subhadra pays Rs 50,000 over 5 years, as Rs 10,000 a year in two Rs 5,000 instalments. The first is paid around International Women's Day (8 March) and the second around Rakhi (August). The money is credited to your Aadhaar-linked bank account by DBT.
 +
 +==== Why is my Subhadra installment not credited? ====
 +
 +The two most common reasons are pending e-KYC and an Aadhaar that is not seeded with your bank in the NPCI DBT mapper. Complete e-KYC on the portal or Subhadra app, then ask your bank for Aadhaar seeding and DBT enablement. A joint account can also block payment, because the scheme needs a single-holder account. See the detailed guide above: [[#subhadra_yojana_installment_not_received|Subhadra instalment not received]].
 +
 +==== Is there any fee to apply or check status? ====
 +
 +No. Applying on the official portal and checking your status are free. Offline forms are free at Anganwadi centres, Block offices and Mo Seva Kendras. Do not pay any agent who promises faster approval or a guaranteed payment.
 +
 +==== My name is missing from the list. Can I still apply? ====
 +
 +Yes, if you meet the conditions. Apply online on the portal or offline at a Mo Seva Kendra, Anganwadi or Block office, with your Aadhaar, single-holder Aadhaar-linked bank account and mobile. Confirm the current eligibility and dates in the official guidelines first.
 +
 +==== What is the Subhadra Yojana helpline number? ====
 +
 +The toll-free helpline is 14678. You can also reach the Women and Child Development helpdesk at 0674-2536775 or [email protected]. For a written, dated answer when these do not help, file an RTI under Section 6(1) of the RTI Act 2005.
 +
 +==== Can I check Subhadra status by Aadhaar number? ====
 +
 +The primary method is through your **registered mobile number** and OTP. Some versions of the portal may also allow search by **Aadhaar number**. If neither works, your application may not have been synced, or your registered mobile number may be wrong. Visit a **Mo Seva Kendra** with your Aadhaar to resolve this.
 +
 +==== What if I changed my bank account after applying? ====
 +
 +You must update your bank details on the Subhadra portal or through a Mo Seva Kendra / Block office. Ensure the new account is a **single-holder account** and is **Aadhaar-seeded for DBT**. See the full guide: [[#how_to_update_bank_account_for_subhadra|How to update bank account for Subhadra]].
 +
 +==== Can a married woman get Subhadra? ====
 +
 +Yes. Subhadra does not exclude married women. The key conditions are age (21–60), Odisha residency, and the economic criteria (income tax, land ownership, vehicle ownership, pension). Marriage status is not an exclusion factor.
 +
 +==== How long does it take for the instalment to arrive after approval? ====
 +
 +Instalments are released in **batches** around 8 March and August. Once your application is approved, e-KYC is complete, and your bank account is DBT-enabled, the instalment should arrive in the **next batch release**. If the batch has already been processed, you will receive it in the **following cycle**.
 +
 +==== Is Subhadra money taxable? ====
 +
 +Government DBT welfare payments to individuals under schemes like Subhadra are generally **not taxable** as income. However, if you have specific tax concerns, consult a qualified tax advisor. The scheme itself does not deduct any tax from the instalment.
 +
 +==== Can I get Subhadra and Mission Shakti benefits both? ====
 +
 +Yes, in most cases. Subhadra is an individual DBT scheme, while Mission Shakti supports **Women Self-Help Groups (SHGs)**. Being an SHG member under Mission Shakti does not automatically disqualify you from Subhadra, as long as you meet Subhadra's independent eligibility criteria. Confirm on the [[https://subhadra.odisha.gov.in|official portal]] or with the helpline.
 +
 +==== Can I file RTI if my Subhadra instalment is delayed? ====
 +
 +Yes. You have a legal right under **Section 6(1) of the RTI Act 2005** to ask the District Social Welfare Officer or the Department of Women and Child Development for the status, reason for delay, and transaction details. The PIO must reply within **30 days**. See the detailed guide: [[#how_to_file_rti_for_subhadra_payment_delay|How to file RTI for Subhadra payment delay]].
