Over 18L women are expected to benefit from this phase of financial support, informed Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida. With this, the total number of beneficiaries under the Subhadra scheme will surpass 98L, she added.

“Other beneficiaries who have faced delays in receiving their funds due to issues with the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) will be accommodated on March 8. I request beneficiaries to complete necessary formalities, including National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) verification and e-KYC updates, by visiting their respective bank branches,” the Deputy CM added.

However, Deputy Chief Minister Parida has assured that the remaining beneficiaries would receive their pending first and second instalments, on March 8.
