Madhu Babu Pension Yojana New List 2026 — What Has Changed
The beneficiary list under MBPY is not a one-time document. The SSEPD Department updates it regularly to:
- Add new applicants who have cleared verification
- Remove names of deceased beneficiaries
- Remove names rejected due to incomplete documents, incorrect details, or failure to meet eligibility criteria
- Move eligible Subhadra Yojana beneficiaries who have turned 60 into the MBPY pension list, since women ageing out of the Subhadra Yojana bracket become eligible for old age pension under MBPY
Because the list is refreshed periodically, it is important to check your name using your application number, Aadhaar number, or district and Gram Panchayat details rather than relying on a static PDF that may already be outdated.
Madhu Babu Pension Yojana Amount 2026 (Verified)
This is the part where many websites still show incorrect figures. Several competitor pages quote an old rate of Rs. 500 to Rs. 800 per month, but that number is outdated. According to an official notification issued by the SSEPD Department and confirmed by multiple national news agencies (PTI) in 2025, the Odisha government significantly revised the pension amount.
| Category | Pension Amount (Current) | Previous Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Age 60 to 79 years | Rs. 1,000 per month | Rs. 300 per month |
| Age 80 years and above | Rs. 3,500 per month | Rs. 1,500 per month |
| Persons with disability 80% and above | Rs. 3,500 per month | Rs. 1,500 per month |
The hike for beneficiaries aged 80 and above, and for persons with 80% or higher disability, was announced in Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi’s maiden budget in July 2024, made effective retrospectively from January 2025, and implemented through disbursement from June 2025 onward. The state government allocated Rs. 7,600 crore for this enhanced pension disbursement under MBPY and the National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP) combined.
Since the hike was rolled out in phases, beneficiaries should confirm their exact category and current sanctioned amount on the official portal, as amounts can be revised further in future state budgets.
Eligibility Criteria for Madhu Babu Pension Yojana
To be included in the Madhu Babu Pension Yojana new list, an applicant must meet the following conditions as per the official scheme guidelines:

- Leprosy patients must show visible signs of deformity, verified through a medical certificate

Connection With Subhadra Yojana
Many women currently receiving benefits under Subhadra Yojana will eventually age out of that scheme’s 21–60 year eligibility bracket. Once a Subhadra Yojana beneficiary crosses 60 years of age, she becomes eligible to apply for old age pension under Madhu Babu Pension Yojana, provided she meets the income and residency conditions above.
If you are currently tracking your Subhadra Yojana status or checking the Subhadra beneficiary list on this website, it is worth bookmarking this MBPY guide as well, since the transition between the two schemes happens automatically only if you apply in time.
