Subhadra Yojana (ସୁଭଦ୍ରା ଯୋଜନା) is an Odisha government scheme for women run by the Women and Child Development department. The state cabinet approved it on 22 August 2024, the portal launched on 4 September 2024, and the first installment was launched on 17 September 2024 in Bhubaneswar, according to the Odisha WCD Annual Report 2024-25.
This independent guide is not the Subhadra portal. It covers the amount, every installment date we could confirm, eligibility and exclusions, registration and e-KYC, and status checks. Facts are as of 14 October 2026.
Subhadra Yojana amount
Each eligible woman gets Rs 50,000 over five years, from 2024-25 to 2028-29, according to the Odisha WCD Annual Report. That works out to Rs 10,000 a year, paid in two installments of Rs 5,000 each: one around Raksha Bandhan and one on International Women's Day (8 March), as reported by The Pioneer and ThePrint.
The money goes by DBT to an Aadhaar-enabled bank account in the woman's own name. The Odisha Chief Minister's Office put the scheme's annual budget at about Rs 11,000 crore (22 January 2026).

Subhadra Yojana online apply and e-KYC
The official report describes Aadhaar-based registration on the Subhadra portal, with free help at Common Service Centres (CSCs) and Ama Seva Kendras. The steps:
- Register online with Aadhaar on the official portal subhadra.odisha.gov.in, or visit a CSC or Ama Seva Kendra, where registration is free.
- Complete biometric e-KYC, also free at a CSC or Ama Seva Kendra.
- Make sure your Aadhaar is linked to your mobile number.
- Make sure your bank account is in your name, Aadhaar-seeded and DBT-enabled. Ask your bank branch to confirm.
- For help, visit the helpdesk at your CDPO office or call 14678.
Menu names on the portal may change. If you cannot find an option, go to a CSC or Ama Seva Kendra.
Is registration open in 2026? The Pioneer reported on 11 July 2026 that 3.17 lakh new women had registered in 2026-27, and that 3.53 lakh applications were under field verification with a 25 July 2026 deadline. Check with your CDPO office for the current position.
Subhadra Yojana status check and NPCI
We could not open the Subhadra portal, so we cannot confirm the exact status menu. The practical ways to check are:
- Look for an applicant login or status option on subhadra.odisha.gov.in.
- Check your bank passbook or SMS around each Raksha Bandhan and Women's Day.
- Ask the CDPO office helpdesk or call 14678.
Searches for "Subhadra Yojana NPCI" are usually about bank linking. What the official report requires is an Aadhaar-enabled, DBT-enabled bank account in the woman's name. If money has not come, ask your bank to check this. As reported in July 2026, pending steps for new applicants included e-KYC, bank verification and biometrics, and 5,277 names of women who had died were removed in verification.
Complaints and safety
Grievances can be filed online or through the District Social Welfare Officer (DSWO) offices, according to the WCD Annual Report. The toll-free helpline is 14678.
- Registration and e-KYC are free at CSCs and Ama Seva Kendras. Do not pay agents.
- This site never asks for your Aadhaar, bank details or OTP. Never share them with unknown callers.
- Ignore websites and social media pages that look official but do not end in odisha.gov.in.
