Last Updated: April 2026
If you are searching for the Orunodoi new list 2026, here is the reality — there is no separate “new list” released yet. What you actually need to check right now is the Orunodoi 3.0 beneficiary list, which is directly linked to AAY ration cards.
Quick Answer:
To check if your name is in the current Orunodoi beneficiary list, go to rcms.assam.gov.in and select your district, block, and village to view the AAY ration card list — every AAY household in that list is an Orunodoi 3.0 beneficiary. You can also visit your nearest Gaon Panchayat office where the list is displayed. As of April 2026, the operative list is Orunodoi 3.0. Orunodoi 4.0 has been announced but the new expanded beneficiary list has not yet been officially released — it is expected after the new government formally takes charge following the April 2026 elections.
After the April 2026 elections, the question on everyone’s lips in BPL households across Assam is the same — is my name in the new Orunodoi list? Will Orunodoi 4.0 add my family if we were left out before? If we are already in, will we stay in?
Many families in Assam are checking the list multiple times a week right now because of the uncertainty.
The anxiety is understandable. The Orunodoi scheme is Rs 1,250 every month for over 38 lakh families. That money covers medicines, cooking oil, sugar, pulses — necessities, not luxuries. When rumours spread that the list is being revised or that a 4.0 version is coming, families who were excluded from previous versions start hoping, and families already in start worrying whether their name will still be there.
If you are new to the scheme and want a complete overview of eligibility, benefits, and how it works, you can read our full Orunodoi scheme guide.
This guide gives you the honest factual answer — what the current list is, how to check it right now using verified methods, and what is actually known about Orunodoi 4.0 and when the new list is expected.
The Current Situation — Orunodoi 3.0 Is the Active List
Orunodoi 3.0 was launched on October 7, 2025 by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. Under 3.0, the scheme was expanded to cover over 38 lakh households — more than double the 17 lakh covered under Orunodoi 2.0. The monthly payment was also increased from Rs 830 to Rs 1,250.
The key change in 3.0 was the eligibility framework. Instead of a separate application process, eligibility was linked directly to the AAY ration card — Antyodaya Anna Yojana. Every household that holds a valid AAY ration card in Assam and has linked it to Aadhaar is automatically included in the Orunodoi 3.0 beneficiary list. No separate application was needed for most households.
If you are not sure what type of ration card you have or how AAY differs from PHH, check our Assam ration card guide for a clear explanation.
This is the most important thing to understand: if your family has an AAY ration card that is active and linked to Aadhaar, you are already in the Orunodoi 3.0 list. The question is not whether you applied — the question is whether your AAY ration card record is correct in the system.
How to Check Your Name in the Orunodoi Beneficiary List Right Now
There are two verified methods to check whether your household is in the Orunodoi beneficiary list. Both are free.
Method 1 — RCMS Portal (Online)
The RCMS — Ration Card Management System — portal at rcms.assam.gov.in shows the AAY beneficiary list for every village in Assam. Since Orunodoi 3.0 is linked to AAY cards, this portal effectively shows you the Orunodoi list.
- Go to rcms.assam.gov.in on your phone or computer
- Look for Ration Card Details or Beneficiary List on the homepage
- Enter the captcha code and click Verify
- Select your district from the dropdown
- Select your DFSO — District Food Supply Office area
- Select your Block or Circle
- Select your Gram Panchayat or village
- The list of AAY ration card holders for your village appears
- Search for your family head’s name in the list
- If your name appears with an active AAY card status, your household is an Orunodoi 3.0 beneficiary
In most cases we’ve seen, if your AAY card is active, your name will already be there — the issue is usually just finding it in the list.
The RCMS portal can be slow during peak hours — 10 AM to 5 PM on weekdays. Try accessing early morning before 9 AM for faster loading. If the portal does not load, try again after 9 PM.
Method 2 — Gaon Panchayat Office (Offline)
Every Gaon Panchayat office in Assam is required to display the current Orunodoi beneficiary list for their area. Visit your GP office during working hours — usually 10 AM to 4 PM on weekdays — and ask to see the Orunodoi beneficiary list. The GP Secretary or a staff member can show you the list and confirm whether your household’s name is there.
This method is more reliable than the online portal for people in areas with poor internet connectivity, and the GP Secretary can also explain the exact reason if your name is missing.
Why Your Name Might Not Appear — and What to Do
Based on what people are facing on the ground, these are the most common reasons your name might be missing.
Your AAY card exists but name is not showing
The most common reason is a data mismatch — the name on your Aadhaar and the name on the AAY ration card are spelled differently. Even Rekha versus Rekha Devi is enough to cause a mismatch. Visit your Circle Office with both documents and request a name correction on your ration card record. After correction, your household should appear in the next list update.
Your family had a PHH card, not AAY
Orunodoi 3.0 eligibility is based on AAY cards — the dark blue Antyodaya card given to the poorest households. PHH — Priority Household — cardholders are not automatically included in the current Orunodoi list unless specifically added. If you have a PHH card but believe your household meets AAY criteria, visit your Circle Office and request AAY classification with supporting documents — income certificate, BPL status documentation.
Your Aadhaar is not linked to your ration card
The Orunodoi DBT requires Aadhaar to be linked to both the ration card and the bank account. If your Aadhaar is not seeded to your ration card in the RCMS system, the payment cannot reach you even if your name is in the list. Visit your nearest Circle Office or CSC centre to complete Aadhaar seeding on your ration card.
You can also verify your ration card details and Aadhaar seeding status online using the ePoS Assam RC details portal before visiting the office.
Your household was removed during a re-survey
Periodically the government conducts re-surveys to remove households that no longer meet eligibility criteria — those who now own four-wheelers, refrigerators, pay income tax, or have a family member in a government job. If your household was removed, the GP office can tell you the specific reason. Some removals happen due to data errors and can be appealed with correct documentation at the Circle Office.
What Is Orunodoi 4.0 and When Is the New List Coming?
Orunodoi 4.0 was a major promise of the BJP campaign in the April 2026 Assam Assembly elections. The key announced changes were:
For a detailed breakdown of the expected changes, eligibility expansion, and latest updates, read our Orunodoi 4.0 update guide.
- Monthly amount to increase from Rs 1,250 to Rs 1,500 per household
- New households to be added — families currently on PHH cards who meet revised criteria
- A fresh survey to identify households that were missed in previous versions
- Possible expansion of eligibility criteria beyond the current AAY-only framework
As of April 2026, none of these changes have been officially notified. The new government is in the process of formation following the election results. Official implementation of Orunodoi 4.0 — including any new beneficiary list — will only happen after the new cabinet is sworn in and formal government orders are issued.
There is no downloadable “Orunodoi 4.0 list” available anywhere as of April 2026 because the 4.0 expansion has not officially launched yet. Any website claiming to offer an Orunodoi 4.0 beneficiary list PDF right now is either showing the existing 3.0 list with a different label, or showing fabricated data. Do not pay any agent claiming to add your name to an Orunodoi 4.0 list — this is fraud.
| Version | When Launched | Coverage | Monthly Amount | Status |
| Orunodoi 1.0 | October 2020 | 17 lakh households | Rs 830/month | Superseded |
| Orunodoi 2.0 | 2022 | 27 lakh households | Rs 830/month | Superseded |
| Orunodoi 3.0 | October 7, 2025 | 38+ lakh AAY households | Rs 1,250/month | Current active list |
| Orunodoi 4.0 | Announced — not launched | Proposed expansion | Proposed Rs 1,500/month | Not yet released |
District-Wise — How to Check Your Specific District
The process on the RCMS portal is the same for every district in Assam. Once you reach the village selection screen, the list shown is specific to your village. Below are the 35 districts of Assam — the RCMS portal covers all of them:
Baksa, Barpeta, Biswanath, Bongaigaon, Cachar, Charaideo, Chirang, Darrang, Dhemaji, Dhubri, Dibrugarh, Dima Hasao, Goalpara, Golaghat, Hailakandi, Hojai, Jorhat, Kamrup, Kamrup Metropolitan, Karbi Anglong, Karimganj, Kokrajhar, Lakhimpur, Majuli, Morigaon, Nagaon, Nalbari, Sivasagar, Sonitpur, South Salmara-Mankachar, Tinsukia, Udalguri, West Karbi Anglong.
For all districts the check process is identical — go to rcms.assam.gov.in, select your district, then drill down to your block and village. The AAY list that appears is your Orunodoi list.
If You Are Not in the List and Want to Apply for Orunodoi 4.0
If your household is not currently in the Orunodoi 3.0 list and you want to be considered when Orunodoi 4.0 opens, here is what to do now before the formal process is announced:
- Ensure your ration card is active and correctly updated at the RCMS portal — visit Circle Office if you have a PHH card and want to check AAY eligibility
- Make sure your Aadhaar is linked to your ration card
- Ensure the female head of your household has her Aadhaar linked to an active bank account
- Verify your household income is below Rs 2 lakh per year — this is the income limit for Orunodoi eligibility
- Keep your documents ready — Aadhaar card, ration card, income certificate, bank passbook
- Watch for official announcements from the Assam government at assam.gov.in and through your local Gaon Panchayat — the 4.0 application process will be announced there when it opens
Once the application process starts, you will also be able to track your status online — see our Orunodoi application status guide for how to check it step by step.
Do not pay any agent, middleman, or party worker to add your name to the Orunodoi list. The process will be announced officially and will be free. Anyone asking for money to guarantee your inclusion in Orunodoi 4.0 is committing fraud. Report such people to your local police station or call 1964 — the Food and Civil Supplies helpline.
Checking Status If You Are Already a Beneficiary
If your name is already in the Orunodoi list and you want to check your current status — whether your monthly payment is active or whether there are any flags on your account — the process is different from checking the list.
If you want to know the exact monthly credit timeline and what to do if payment is delayed, check our Orunodoi payment date guide.
Your payment status is visible through your bank passbook. The Rs 1,250 credit appears as a DBT entry each month. For any concerns about your active status, visit your Circle Office with your Aadhaar and ration card — they can check the backend MMLSAY portal used by officials to verify beneficiary status.
If your payments suddenly stopped, the most common reasons are the same as for all DBT schemes — dormant bank account, Aadhaar seeding failure, or your household being flagged in a re-survey. Our separate Orunodoi payment guide covers each of these fixes in detail.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to check name in Orunodoi new list 2026?
Go to rcms.assam.gov.in, select your district, block, and village to see the AAY ration card holder list. Every AAY household in that list is an Orunodoi 3.0 beneficiary. You can also visit your Gaon Panchayat office where the list is displayed. The portal is free and no login is required to view the beneficiary list.
Has the Orunodoi 4.0 beneficiary list been released?
No. As of April 2026, Orunodoi 4.0 has been announced as part of the election campaign promises but the new expanded beneficiary list has not been officially released. The current operative list is Orunodoi 3.0. The 4.0 list will only be released after the new government formally takes charge and issues official orders. Any claim of an Orunodoi 4.0 list being available right now is false.
My name is not in the Orunodoi 3.0 list — what to do?
First confirm you have an AAY ration card — Orunodoi 3.0 is linked to AAY cards, not PHH cards. If you have an AAY card but your name is missing, check for a name mismatch between your Aadhaar and ration card at your Circle Office. If you have a PHH card, you need to get it reclassified to AAY based on income eligibility. Wait for the Orunodoi 4.0 formal application process for potential new inclusions.
What is the difference between Orunodoi 3.0 and Orunodoi 4.0?
Orunodoi 3.0 is the current active version launched in October 2025, covering 38+ lakh AAY households at Rs 1,250 per month. Orunodoi 4.0 was announced during the April 2026 election campaign with promises of increasing the amount to Rs 1,500 and expanding to new households. The 4.0 version has not officially launched yet as of April 2026.
How do I check the Orunodoi district wise list for my district?
Go to rcms.assam.gov.in, select your district from the dropdown, then select your block, circle, and village. The AAY ration card list for your village appears — this is effectively the Orunodoi beneficiary list for your area. The same process works for all 35 districts in Assam.
Is there a PDF download for the Orunodoi beneficiary list?
The RCMS portal displays the list online but does not offer a single statewide PDF download. You can view the list village by village through the portal. District-level offices can sometimes provide printed lists. Any third-party website offering a “complete Orunodoi list PDF” should be treated with caution — these are often outdated, unofficial, or generated to collect personal information.
What is the Orunodoi 4.0 amount?
The proposed Orunodoi 4.0 amount is Rs 1,500 per month, up from the current Rs 1,250 under Orunodoi 3.0. However, this increase has only been announced as a campaign promise. The official notification with the confirmed revised amount will be issued by the new government after it is formed. Until then, existing beneficiaries continue receiving Rs 1,250 per month.
Orunodoi new list 2026 kab niklega?
Abhi tak Orunodoi 4.0 ka new beneficiary list officially release nahi hua hai. April 2026 ke election ke baad nayi government banne ke baad hi iska official notification aayega. Tabhi new list release hogi aur application process start hoga. Tab tak aapko current Orunodoi 3.0 list hi check karna chahiye RCMS portal par.
This information is based on the current Assam government scheme structure and verified ground-level processes through RCMS data and Gaon Panchayat records.
Final Note
The question “is my name in the Orunodoi list” is one that millions of families in Assam ask every few months — every time there is an election, every time a new version is announced, every time payments are late or missing. The answer is always the same: go to the RCMS portal, find your village, find your name. Five minutes of checking beats three days of anxiety.
For families not currently in the list, the honest answer is: hold your documents ready and watch for the official Orunodoi 4.0 announcement. When it comes, it will be announced through official government channels. Your Gaon Panchayat will be the first local point of contact when the process opens.
For existing beneficiaries, keep your AAY ration card active, keep your Aadhaar seeded to both your ration card and bank account, and check your bank passbook between the 5th and 15th of every month. Everything else takes care of itself.
