⚡ Key Facts at a Glance
Orunodoi Scheme Assam 2026 — Rs.1,250 a Month for the Woman of the House
The Orunodoi Scheme (অৰুণোদই আঁচনি) is the Assam government's flagship Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) programme, launched in October 2020. Under it, every eligible economically weaker household receives Rs.1,250 every month — about Rs.15,000 over the year — paid directly into the bank account of the woman member of the family. Over 25 lakh families across Assam have been covered, making it one of the largest welfare cash-transfer schemes in the North East.
The design is deliberate: by routing the money to the woman of the house rather than the household head, the scheme strengthens her say in everyday spending on food, medicine and children's needs. The monthly amount was raised from Rs.830 to Rs.1,250 in 2024. You can read more about the scheme and related state programmes on the Orunodoi scheme page.
Example: Rita, a homemaker from a low-income family in a village in Assam, applies through her nearest CSC with her Aadhaar, bank passbook and income certificate. After her household is verified as economically weaker, Rs.1,250 starts reaching her own Aadhaar-linked bank account each month, which she uses for groceries and her children's school expenses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I have not received my payment — what should I do?
First check Beneficiary Status at orunodoi.assam.gov.in and confirm the woman member's bank account is active and Aadhaar-linked. If your application shows as approved but the money has not arrived, visit your nearest CSC / Jan Seva Kendra with the passbook and Aadhaar so the credit can be investigated.
Q: How do I check my application status?
Open orunodoi.assam.gov.in, go to Beneficiary Status and enter the Aadhaar number. A CSC / Jan Seva Kendra operator can also look up your record if you are unable to check online.
Q: My application was rejected — why, and can I reapply?
Common reasons are family income at or above Rs.2 lakh, the presence of an income tax payer, a government job or pension above Rs.1,500/month in the family, or a mismatch in Aadhaar/bank records. Confirm the specific reason, correct your documents, and follow the process again. For exact re-application steps, check the latest notification on the official portal.
Q: The amount credited seems wrong — what now?
The benefit is Rs.1,250 per month (about Rs.15,000 per year) after the 2024 revision from Rs.830. If the credited amount does not match, verify the payment details on orunodoi.assam.gov.in and raise the discrepancy at your CSC / Jan Seva Kendra for clarification.
Q: Is eKYC or Aadhaar linking required?
Yes — a valid Aadhaar and an Aadhaar-seeded bank account for the woman member are essential for DBT payments to reach you. Link the Aadhaar to the bank account at the branch before applying; this is the most frequent cause of failed payments.
Q: I am a new applicant — where do I start?
Open orunodoi.assam.gov.in or visit your nearest CSC / Jan Seva Kendra with the woman member's Aadhaar, bank passbook, residence proof and income certificate. Fill the Orunodoi application form and submit it for verification.
Q: Does this scheme exist in other states?
Orunodoi is an Assam scheme. Other states run their own women's welfare and cash-transfer programmes with different names and rules. You can explore options for your state on our state schemes directory or browse central government schemes.
Q: How do I complain if something goes wrong?
Raise the issue first at your CSC / Jan Seva Kendra or through the helpline listed on the official portal. If it is not resolved, you can lodge a grievance through the national grievance portal at pgportal.gov.in.
