Eligibility Criteria for Subhadra Yojana Online applications
Before applying online, women must read and follow the eligibility rules given below:
- Applicant must be a permanent woman resident of Odisha.
- Age should be between 21 and 60 years.
- Women already getting ₹18,000 or more yearly from scholarships or other government schemes will not be eligible.
- Those having vehicles, more than 5 acres of land, or who have filed income tax returns may not qualify under this phase.
Who Cannot Apply under Subhadra Yojana
To make sure the help goes to the right people, the government has set some restrictions. Women who already get more than ₹18,000 in a year through scholarships or similar schemes (state or central) are not allowed to apply again. This helps stop duplication and keeps the support focused on women who really need it.
