Being a glass-breaker in almost everything she did, she winning an award was no different either. She was awarded the Padma Shri in 1960 for her commendable achievement in sports. In 1999, the Department of Posts celebrated her conquest by bringing out a postage stamp of ₹3 denomination. In 1996, a bust of Arati Saha was also erected near her residence. The 100-metre long lane in front of the bust also got renamed after her.
