As was pointed by Arunkumar Deshmukh, there was an oversight in the earliest list; I had forgotten about Mukhtar Begum.

The revised list is:

1. Ishrat Jahan (Bibbo). Adal-e-Jahangir (1934)

2. Jaddan Bai (Nargis Mother). Talash-e-Haq (1935)

3. Saraswati Devi (Khorshed Minocher-Homji) Jawani Ki Hawa (1935)

4. Mukhtar Begum. Prem Ki Aag (1936)

5. Amirbai Karnataki. Shahanaz (1948)

6. Usha Khanna. Dil Deke Dekho (1959)

7. Sudha Malhotra (one song in) Didi (1959)
