The first recipient was [[P. Susheela]], who was honoured at the [[16th National Film Awards]] in 1969 for her renditions in the Tamil film ''[[Uyarndha Manithan]]''. The singer who won the most number of Rajat Kamal awards is [[K. S. Chithra]] with six wins, followed by Susheela with five. As of 2019, two singers—[[S. Janaki]] and [[Shreya Ghoshal]]—have won the award four times, and two—[[Lata Mangeshkar]] and [[Vani Jairam]]—have won it thrice. The award has been won twice by [[Asha Bhosle]], [[Alka Yagnik]] and [[Arati Ankalikar-Tikekar]]. Janaki, Chithra and Ghoshal are the only singers to get the award for their works in films of three languages. Janaki was bestowed with the awards for her performances in two Tamil films: ''[[16 Vayathinile]]'' and ''[[Thevar Magan]]'' in 1978 and 1993 respectively, in 1981 for the Malayalam film ''[[Oppol]]'', and in 1985 for the Telugu film ''[[Sitaara]]''. Chithra was honoured in 1986, 1997 and 2005 for the Tamil films ''[[Sindhu Bhairavi (film)|Sindhu Bhairavi]]'', ''[[Minsara Kanavu]]'' and ''[[Autograph (2004 film)|Autograph]]'' respectively; in 1987 and 1989 for the Malayalam films ''[[Nakhakshathangal]]'' and ''[[Vaisali (film)|Vaisali]]'' respectively; and in 1998 for the Hindi film ''[[Virasat (1997 film)|Virasat]]''. Ghoshal received her awards for the Hindi films ''[[Devdas (2002 Hindi film)|Devdas]]'', ''[[Paheli]]'' and ''[[Jab We Met]]'' in 2003, 2006 and 2008 respectively; was awarded for the fourth time in 2009 for both the Bengali film ''[[Antaheen]]'' and the Marathi film ''[[Jogwa]]''. Susheela, Jairam and Ankalikar-Tikekar have each been awarded for their performances in films of two languages. Since her first win, Susheela bagged a second award for another Tamil film ''[[Savaale Samali]]'' in 1972, and three more in 1977, 1983 and 1984 for her songs in the Telugu films ''[[Siri Siri Muvva]]'', ''[[Meghasandesam]]'' and ''[[M.L.A. Yedukondalu]]'' respectively. Jairam was rewarded on three occasions—in 1976 for the Tamil film ''[[Apoorva Raagangal]]'', in 1979 for the Telugu film ''[[Sankarabharanam (1980 film)|Sankarabharanam]]'', and finally in 1992 for another Telugu film ''[[Swathi Kiranam]]''. Apart from the being the only honoree to have been recognised for a Konkani film, Ankalikar-Tikekar—who was certified as the best female playback singer by the Directorate in 2007 for her contributions to the Konkani-language drama ''Antarnad''—later joined the list of two-time winners of this award when the jury declared her the victor again in 2013 for her rendition of the song "Palakein Naa Moon Don" in the Marathi film ''[[Samhita (film)|Samhita]]''. While [[Sandhya Mukhopadhyay]] and Ghoshal are the only awardees to have been recognised for their work in two films in the same year (Mukhopadhyay won in 1971 for her tracks from both the Bengali films ''Jay Jayanti'' and ''[[Nishi Padma]]''), Ghoshal continues to be the sole vocalist to have achieved this accolade for excellence in singing in two films of different languages in a single year. Two-time consecutive winners of the Rajat Kamal include Mangeshkar, Susheela, Chithra (twice) and Ghoshal.

Until 1973, winners of the National Film Award received a [[Commemorative plaque|plaque]].<ref name="1973award"/> From 1975–2006, they were awarded with a "Rajat Kamal" (Silver [[Nelumbo nucifera|Lotus]]) certificate and a cash prize of {{INRConvert|10|k}};<ref name="1975award"/><ref name="2006award"/> and since 2007, cash reward of {{INRConvert|50|k}} alongside the certificate have been bestowed upon them.<ref name="2007award"/> Although the Indian film industry produces films in around 20 [[Languages of India|languages and dialects]],<ref name="nfa"/> the singers whose performances have won awards have worked in nine major languages: [[Tamil language|Tamil]] (fourteen awards), [[Hindi]] (fourteen awards), [[Bengali language|Bengali]] (six awards),{{efn|name=ghoshal|Shreya Ghoshal received the award in 2009 for her work in both Bengali and Marathi films.<ref name="2009award"/>}} [[Telugu language|Telugu]] (six awards), [[Marathi language|Marathi]] (five awards),{{efn|name=ghoshal}} [[Malayalam]] (three awards), [[Assamese language|Assamese]] (one award), [[Konkani language|Konkani]] (one award) and [[Kannada]] (one award). The first recipient was [[P. Susheela]], who was honoured at the [[16th National Film Awards]] in 1969 for her renditions in the Tamil film ''[[Uyarndha Manithan]]''. The singer who won the most number of Rajat Kamal awards is [[K. S. Chithra]] with six wins, followed by Susheela with five. As of 2019, two singers—[[S. Janaki]] and [[Shreya Ghoshal]]—have won the award four times, and two—[[Lata Mangeshkar]] and [[Vani Jairam]]—have won it thrice. The award has been won twice by [[Asha Bhosle]], [[Alka Yagnik]] and [[Arati Ankalikar-Tikekar]]. Janaki, Chithra and Ghoshal are the only singers to get the award for their works in films of three languages. Janaki was bestowed with the awards for her performances in two Tamil films: ''[[16 Vayathinile]]'' and ''[[Thevar Magan]]'' in 1978 and 1993 respectively, in 1981 for the Malayalam film ''[[Oppol]]'', and in 1985 for the Telugu film ''[[Sitaara]]''. Chithra was honoured in 1986, 1997 and 2005 for the Tamil films ''[[Sindhu Bhairavi (film)|Sindhu Bhairavi]]'', ''[[Minsara Kanavu]]'' and ''[[Autograph (2004 film)|Autograph]]'' respectively; in 1987 and 1989 for the Malayalam films ''[[Nakhakshathangal]]'' and ''[[Vaisali (film)|Vaisali]]'' respectively; and in 1998 for the Hindi film ''[[Virasat (1997 film)|Virasat]]''. Ghoshal received her awards for the Hindi films ''[[Devdas (2002 Hindi film)|Devdas]]'', ''[[Paheli]]'' and ''[[Jab We Met]]'' in 2003, 2006 and 2008 respectively; was awarded for the fourth time in 2009 for both the Bengali film ''[[Antaheen]]'' and the Marathi film ''[[Jogwa]]''. Susheela, Jairam and Ankalikar-Tikekar have each been awarded for their performances in films of two languages. Since her first win, Susheela bagged a second award for another Tamil film ''[[Savaale Samali]]'' in 1972, and three more in 1977, 1983 and 1984 for her songs in the Telugu films ''[[Siri Siri Muvva]]'', ''[[Meghasandesam]]'' and ''[[M.L.A. Yedukondalu]]'' respectively. Jairam was rewarded on three occasions—in 1976 for the Tamil film ''[[Apoorva Raagangal]]'', in 1979 for the Telugu film ''[[Sankarabharanam (1980 film)|Sankarabharanam]]'', and finally in 1992 for another Telugu film ''[[Swathi Kiranam]]''. Apart from the being the only honoree to have been recognised for a Konkani film, Ankalikar-Tikekar—who was certified as the best female playback singer by the Directorate in 2007 for her contributions to the Konkani-language drama ''Antarnad''—later joined the list of two-time winners of this award when the jury declared her the victor again in 2013 for her rendition of the song "Palakein Naa Moon Don" in the Marathi film ''[[Samhita (film)|Samhita]]''. While [[Sandhya Mukhopadhyay]] and Ghoshal are the only awardees to have been recognised for their work in two films in the same year (Mukhopadhyay won in 1971 for her tracks from both the Bengali films ''Jay Jayanti'' and ''[[Nishi Padma]]''), Ghoshal continues to be the sole vocalist to have achieved this accolade for excellence in singing in two films of different languages in a single year. Two-time consecutive winners of the Rajat Kamal include Mangeshkar, Susheela, Chithra (twice) and Ghoshal. The late [[K. B. Sundarambal]], who was 62 when she received the prize at the [[17th National Film Awards]] in November 1970 for the Tamil film ''[[Thunaivan]]'', holds the position of being the oldest recipient.<ref>{{cite web|title=Biography of K.

Throughout the years, accounting for ties and repeat winners, the [[Government of India]] has presented a total of 46 Best Female Playback Singer awards to 24 different female playback singers. Until 1974, winners of the National Film Award received a [[commemorative plaque]] and certificate; since 1975, they have been awarded with a "Rajat Kamal" (silver [[Nelumbo nucifera|lotus]]), certificate and a cash prize that amounted to {{INRConvert|50|k}} in [[61st National Film Awards|2013]]. The first recipient was [[P. Susheela]], who was honoured at the 16th National Film Award (1968) for her renditions from the Tamil film ''[[Uyarntha Manithan]]''. The singer who won the most number of Rajat Kamal awards is [[K. S. Chithra]] with six wins, followed by [[P. Susheela]] with five. As of 2013, two singers—[[S. Janaki]] and [[Shreya Ghoshal]]—have won the award four times, and two—[[Lata Mangeshkar]] and [[Vani Jairam]]—have won it thrice. The award has been won twice by [[Asha Bhosle]], [[Alka Yagnik]] and [[Arati Ankalikar-Tikekar]]. S. Janaki, K. S. Chithra, and Shreya Ghoshal have won the award for their renditions in three different languages. Shreya Ghoshal is the sole recipient of the award for two different songs in the same year in two different languages. [[Uthara Unnikrishnan]] is the youngest winner, picking up the award at the age of 10 for the rendition of a song from the Tamil film ''[[Saivam]]'' (2014). No award was given for this category in [[21st National Film Awards|1973]]. == Winners == List of award recipients, showing the year (award ceremony), song(s), film(s), language(s) and citation. {| class="wikitable sortable plainrowheaders" style="width:100%" ! scope="col" style="background-color:#EFE4B0;width:5%;"| Year ! scope="col" style="background-color:#EFE4B0;width:10%" class="unsortable" |Image ! scope="col" style="background-color:#EFE4B0;width:20%;"| Recipient(s) ! scope="col" style="background-color:#EFE4B0;width:20%;"| Song(s) ! scope="col" style="background-color:#EFE4B0;width:20%;"| Film(s) ! scope="col" style="background-color:#EFE4B0;width:10%;"| Language(s) ! scope="col" style="background-color:#EFE4B0;width:13%;" class="unsortable" | Citation ! scope="col" style="background-color:#EFE4B0;width:2%" class="unsortable" |{{Tooltip|Refs.|Reference}} |- | style="text-align:center;" | [[16th National Film Awards|1968<br/>{{small|(16th)}}]] | [[File:P.

Susheela]], who was honoured at the [[16th National Film Awards]] in 1969 for her renditions in the Tamil film ''[[Uyarndha Manithan]]''. The singer who won the most number of Rajat Kamal awards is [[K. S. Chithra]] with six wins, followed by Susheela with five. As of 2019, two singers—[[S. Janaki]] and [[Shreya Ghoshal]]—have won the award four times, and two—[[Lata Mangeshkar]] and [[Vani Jairam]]—have won it thrice. The award has been won twice by [[Asha Bhosle]], [[Alka Yagnik]] and [[Arati Ankalikar-Tikekar]]. Janaki, Chithra and Ghoshal are the only singers to get the award for their works in films of three languages. Janaki was bestowed with the awards for her performances in two Tamil films: ''[[16 Vayathinile]]'' and ''[[Thevar Magan]]'' in 1978 and 1993 respectively, in 1981 for the Malayalam film ''[[Oppol]]'', and in 1985 for the Telugu film ''[[Sitaara]]''. Chithra was honoured in 1986, 1997 and 2005 for the Tamil films ''[[Sindhu Bhairavi (film)|Sindhu Bhairavi]]'', ''[[Minsara Kanavu]]'' and ''[[Autograph (2004 film)|Autograph]]'' respectively; in 1987 and 1989 for the Malayalam films ''[[Nakhakshathangal]]'' and ''[[Vaisali (film)|Vaisali]]'' respectively; and in 1998 for the Hindi film ''[[Virasat (1997 film)|Virasat]]''. Ghoshal received her awards for the Hindi films ''[[Devdas (2002 Hindi film)|Devdas]]'', ''[[Paheli]]'' and ''[[Jab We Met]]'' in 2003, 2006 and 2008 respectively; was awarded for the fourth time in 2009 for both the Bengali film ''[[Antaheen]]'' and the Marathi film ''[[Jogwa]]''. Susheela, Jairam and Ankalikar-Tikekar have each been awarded for their performances in films of two languages. Since her first win, Susheela bagged a second award for another Tamil film ''[[Savaale Samali]]'' in 1972, and three more in 1977, 1983 and 1984 for her songs in the Telugu films ''[[Siri Siri Muvva]]'', ''[[Meghasandesam]]'' and ''[[M.L.A. Yedukondalu]]'' respectively. Jairam was rewarded on three occasions—in 1976 for the Tamil film ''[[Apoorva Raagangal]]'', in 1979 for the Telugu film ''[[Sankarabharanam (1980 film)|Sankarabharanam]]'', and finally in 1992 for another Telugu film ''[[Swathi Kiranam]]''. Apart from the being the only honoree to have been recognised for a Konkani film, Ankalikar-Tikekar—who was certified as the best female playback singer by the Directorate in 2007 for her contributions to the Konkani-language drama ''Antarnad''—later joined the list of two-time winners of this award when the jury declared her the victor again in 2013 for her rendition of the song "Palakein Naa Moon Don" in the Marathi film ''[[Samhita (film)|Samhita]]''. While [[Sandhya Mukhopadhyay]] and Ghoshal are the only awardees to have been recognised for their work in two films in the same year (Mukhopadhyay won in 1971 for her tracks from both the Bengali films ''Jay Jayanti'' and ''[[Nishi Padma]]''), Ghoshal continues to be the sole vocalist to have achieved this accolade for excellence in singing in two films of different languages in a single year. Two-time consecutive winners of the Rajat Kamal include Mangeshkar, Susheela, Chithra (twice) and Ghoshal. - -The late [[K. B.

Throughout the years, accounting for ties and repeat winners, the [[Government of India]] has presented a total of 46 Best Female Playback Singer awards to 24 different female playback singers. Until 1974, winners of the National Film Award received a [[commemorative plaque]] and certificate; since 1975, they have been awarded with a "Rajat Kamal" (silver [[Nelumbo nucifera|lotus]]), certificate and a cash prize that amounted to {{INRConvert|50|k}} in [[61st National Film Awards|2013]]. The first recipient was [[P. Susheela]], who was honoured at the 16th National Film Award (1968) for her renditions from the Tamil film ''[[Uyarntha Manithan]]''. The singer who won the most number of Rajat Kamal awards is [[K. S. Chithra]] with six wins, followed by [[P. Susheela]] with five. As of 2013, two singers—[[S. Janaki]] and [[Shreya Ghoshal]]—have won the award four times, and two—[[Lata Mangeshkar]] and [[Vani Jairam]]—have won it thrice. The award has been won twice by [[Asha Bhosle]], [[Alka Yagnik]] and [[Arati Ankalikar-Tikekar]]. S. Janaki, K. S. Chithra, and Shreya Ghoshal have won the award for their renditions in three different languages. Shreya Ghoshal is the sole recipient of the award for two different songs in the same year in two different languages. [[Uthara Unnikrishnan]] is the youngest winner, picking up the award at the age of 10 for the rendition of a song from the Tamil film ''[[Saivam]]'' (2014). No award was given for this category in [[21st National Film Awards|1973]].', 22 => '== Winners ==', 23 => 'List of award recipients, showing the year (award ceremony), song(s), film(s), language(s) and citation.', 24 => '{| class="wikitable sortable plainrowheaders" style="width:100%"', 25 => '! scope="col" style="background-color:#EFE4B0;width:5%;"| Year', 26 => '! scope="col" style="background-color:#EFE4B0;width:10%" class="unsortable" |Image', 27 => '! scope="col" style="background-color:#EFE4B0;width:20%;"| Recipient(s)', 28 => '! scope="col" style="background-color:#EFE4B0;width:20%;"| Song(s)', 29 => '! scope="col" style="background-color:#EFE4B0;width:20%;"| Film(s)', 30 => '! scope="col" style="background-color:#EFE4B0;width:10%;"| Language(s)', 31 => '! scope="col" style="background-color:#EFE4B0;width:13%;" class="unsortable" | Citation', 32 => '! scope="col" style="background-color:#EFE4B0;width:2%" class="unsortable" |{{Tooltip|Refs.|Reference}}', 33 => '| style="text-align:center;" | [[16th National Film Awards|1968<br/>{{small|(16th)}}]]', 34 => '| [[File:P.

The award has been won twice by [[Asha Bhosle]], [[Alka Yagnik]] and [[Arati Ankalikar-Tikekar]]. Janaki, Chithra and Ghoshal are the only singers to get the award for their works in films of three languages. Janaki was bestowed with the awards for her performances in two Tamil films: ''[[16 Vayathinile]]'' and ''[[Thevar Magan]]'' in 1978 and 1993 respectively, in 1981 for the Malayalam film ''[[Oppol]]'', and in 1985 for the Telugu film ''[[Sitaara]]''.

While [[Sandhya Mukhopadhyay]] and Ghoshal are the only awardees to have been recognised for their work in two films in the same year (Mukhopadhyay won in 1971 for her tracks from both the Bengali films ''Jay Jayanti'' and ''[[Nishi Padma]]''), Ghoshal continues to be the sole vocalist to have achieved this accolade for excellence in singing in two films of different languages in a single year.
