Subhadra Yojana 5th Installment Date — August 28, 2026 (Raksha Bandhan)
The Odisha Government has consistently released installments on two fixed cultural dates: Raksha Bandhan in August and International Women’s Day on March 8. The 4th installment reached over one crore women on March 8, 2026. Following this pattern, August 2026 is the expected slot for the 5th installment.

Your August 2026 Checklist — Do These Before the Date
What to do right now — before the 5th installment: Complete Face eKYC if not done (mandatory for 2026 installments), check if your bank account is NPCI-linked and DBT-enabled, verify your application status at subhadra.odisha.gov.in. If your NPCI seeding is inactive, payment will fail even if you are on the beneficiary list.
- Check portal status — look for “eKYC Complete” and “NPCI Active” (both must be green).
- Complete Face eKYC at your nearest MSK or CSC if not already done.
- Visit your bank — confirm Aadhaar is NPCI-seeded and DBT is enabled.
- Check beneficiary list — confirm your name is in the August 2026 approved list.
- Ensure account is active — no transactions in the last 12 months may result in a dormant account and payment failure.
Why Payments Fail Even for Approved Women
The two biggest reasons: eKYC not done and NPCI seeding not active. Even if your name is in the beneficiary list, your payment can still fail. Fix both before August arrives.
How to Fix NPCI Before August 2026
Go to your bank branch where your Subhadra account is registered.
Tell the manager: “Aadhaar seeding / NPCI mapping for Subhadra Yojana DBT karna hai.”
Fill the Aadhaar Seeding Form provided by the bank.
Check that your name matches exactly with your Aadhaar card. A name mismatch between your Aadhaar and bank passbook is one of the most common rejection reasons. Even a single spelling difference can block your payment.
Frequently Asked Questions.
What is the exact Subhadra Yojana 5th installment date in August 2026?
The expected date is around Raksha Bandhan, August 28, 2026. The Government of Odisha has not announced an official date yet as of early July 2026. The confirmed date will appear on subhadra.odisha.gov.in and will be sent via SMS to your registered mobile number. Do not trust any specific date circulating on social media until the official portal confirms it.
Will the 5th installment amount increase from ₹5,000?
No. There is no verified announcement of any increase. Each installment remains ₹5,000, totaling ₹10,000 per year and ₹50,000 over five years.
I received all 4 installments — do I need to do anything for the 5th?
Yes — you must complete Face Authentication eKYC before August. This is now mandatory for 2026 installments and was not required during 2024–25. Even women who received all 4 previous installments smoothly must complete it or their 5th payment will be held.
How do I know if my NPCI is active for the August installment?
Visit subhadra.odisha.gov.in → Track Application Status → check the “NPCI Active” indicator. If it shows inactive or missing, visit your bank immediately to complete Aadhaar seeding before July 2026 to ensure it reflects before the August disbursement window.
What if I miss the 5th installment due to eKYC?
Complete your eKYC immediately — do not wait for the next cycle. Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida confirmed a review process for women who missed installments due to pending eKYC, and the government has previously released catch-up payments for such cases.
