The Odisha Government is getting ready to distribute the fourth phase of funds under the Subhadra Yojana. To ensure every eligible woman gets the benefits, the government has introduced new measures and set deadlines. Here’s what you need to know:
Over 8,000 Women Re-enrolled Through the ‘Opt-In’ Facility
To help women whose names were mistakenly removed from the scheme, the government has introduced an ‘Opt-In’ feature on its official portal. This option allows excluded beneficiaries to rejoin the scheme easily. So far, over 8,000 women have successfully re-enrolled.
This feature is a step towards ensuring no eligible woman is left out due to errors, reflecting the government’s dedication to empowering women and improving their lives.
Complete e-KYC to Avoid Delays
More than 200,000 eligible women still need to finish their electronic Know Your Customer (e-KYC) process. Completing e-KYC is essential to receive financial aid. Beneficiaries are encouraged to visit their nearest ‘Mo Seva Kendra’ for biometric verification, as OTP-based verification alone is not enough. Without this step, financial support may be delayed.
Funds to Be Released Soon
The government is preparing to release the fourth phase of funds under the Subhadra Yojana. Beneficiaries must complete their e-KYC before this to avoid missing out on payments.
Registration Deadline and Future Benefits
The deadline to register for the scheme for the financial year 2024-25 is March 31, 2025. Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida has also announced that in 2025, beneficiaries will receive funds three times during the year to ensure regular support.
What Beneficiaries Should Do Now
- Re-enroll: Use the ‘Opt-In’ facility if your name was mistakenly removed.
- Complete e-KYC: Visit your nearest ‘Mo Seva Kendra’ and complete biometric verification.
- Register on Time: Ensure you register before March 31, 2025, to keep receiving benefits.
The Subhadra Yojana continues to be a lifeline for women in Odisha, helping them build better lives. By staying updated and completing the required steps, beneficiaries can make the most of this scheme and secure consistent support.
