Subhadra Yojana is an important women empowerment scheme by the Odisha government, recently updated to improve eligibility and beneficiary verification. With the registration portal reopening after August 9, new applications will be accepted from women aged 21 and above. These changes also include excluding nearly 2 lakh beneficiaries who no longer meet the updated criteria. Let’s look into how you can apply, why some were excluded, and what senior beneficiaries can expect from this scheme.
Who Can Apply for Subhadra Yojana After August 9?
After August 9, new registrations under Subhadra Yojana will be open only to women of Odisha aged 21 and above. This update aims to widen support while making sure financial help goes to those who really need it. The scheme focuses on encouraging independence and progress for eligible women in the state.
Fresh Survey and Registration Process
After August 9, the state government will conduct a new field survey to reassess beneficiaries who were previously rejected and allow new applicants to register. If you were excluded before or are applying for the first time, here’s what to do:
- Wait for the official reopening of the Subhadra Yojana portal after August 9.
- Submit your application online or at designated local offices.
- Make sure you meet all updated eligibility rules, such as age and income limits.
- Take part in the fresh survey conducted by government officials to verify your details.
- After successful verification, you will be eligible to receive financial help through the scheme.
Reasons Behind Exclusion of 2 Lakh Beneficiaries
Nearly 2 lakh women who earlier received benefits under the scheme have now been excluded due to updated eligibility checks. The main reasons are:
- Filing Income Tax Returns (ITR) showing higher income levels.
- Owning or buying vehicles, indicating better economic status.
- Having five or more acres of land, which disqualifies applicants based on asset rules.
These exclusions are meant to make sure benefits reach only those women who really need help to improve their financial condition.
Disbursement of the Third Instalment on Rakhi Purnima
The government is scheduled to release the third instalment of Subhadra Yojana financial help on August 9, which falls on the festive day of Rakhi Purnima. This move celebrates women’s progress and provides key financial support to eligible beneficiaries. You can expect the funds in your accounts or local payment centers on that date.
Moving Senior Beneficiaries to Pension Schemes
Senior beneficiaries over 60 years old under Subhadra Yojana will be moved to pension and social security schemes to give them ongoing financial support. Records of about 93,000 senior women have been sent to the Social Security and Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (SSEPD) Department for processing.
How Senior Beneficiaries Can Get Pension Benefits
If you are a beneficiary over 60, here is what you should know about pension benefits:
- Your details will be checked by the SSEPD department to confirm eligibility.
- Approved beneficiaries will receive regular pension payments under government social security schemes.
- If you haven’t heard anything yet, contact your nearest Social Security department office for help.
This change ensures elderly women under Subhadra Yojana keep getting financial support suited to their needs.
