Over 1.7 Lakh Women to Receive Subhadra Yojana Payment on April 24

More than 1.7 lakh women who have not yet received the first 2 instalments of the Subhadra Yojana will get their payment on April 24. Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida announced this on Saturday. These beneficiaries had applied by the March 31 deadline but did not receive the money due to various issues.

Special Event in Puri

The money will be disbursed at a special event in Puri, which will also celebrate Panchayati Raj Divas. This event marks the sixth phase of the scheme’s implementation. Each eligible woman will receive ₹10,000 — ₹5,000 for the first instalment and ₹5,000 for the second. The amount will be transferred directly to their bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system.

Grievance Redressal for Left-Out Beneficiaries

For those who have received only one instalment or none at all, the government has provided help. They can file their complaints by calling the toll-free helpline number 14678. After verification, eligible women will be included in future phases of payment.
