The much-awaited 4th instalment of Subhadra Yojana is scheduled to be released in January 2025. The Government of Odisha has announced that the disbursement has been put on hold due to an ongoing verification process. Beneficiaries are now required to complete e-KYC through a Biometric process to ensure smooth disbursal.
Why the 4th Installment is Delayed
The Deputy Chief Minister clarified that the delay is due to a large number of beneficiaries not completing their e-KYC verification properly. Around 5.11 lakh applicants either haven’t completed their e-KYC or have done so through OTP instead of the mandatory Biometric process.
Key Points:
e-KYC Completion Required: Beneficiaries must visit Common Service Centres (CSCs) or Mo Seva Kendras (MSKs) to complete e-KYC via the Biometric process.
Deadline for e-KYC: Beneficiaries are urged to complete the process at the earliest to avoid missing out on the 4th instalment.
Bank Account Requirements: Applicants must ensure their Aadhaar-linked bank account is DBT-enabled for direct benefit transfers.
Free of Cost: The e-KYC process via biometrics is completely free of cost for all applicants.
The state government is committed to disbursing the funds as soon as the verification process is complete. It is also advised to all eligible candidates to complete their registration before the last date of Subhadra Yojana Application.
