Bhubaneswar, 11th Oct 2025: Women above 60 years who were excluded from the Subhadra scheme will not easily receive old-age pension unless they meet the required eligibility criteria. Currently, over 6 lakh senior citizens have applied and are waiting for approval. Only when some slots are vacated, women over 60 will be included.
Unlike others, Subhadra beneficiaries do not have a separate provision for inclusion in social security schemes. The Social Security and Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (SSEPD) department has communicated this to the Women and Child Development Department through official letters.
