Annapurna Bhandar Scheme 2026 (WB)

State officials said monthly credits from September 2026 will fall in the second week of each month (news reports: around 10–15 September). Only Approved / verified beneficiaries are paid. Check Credit Status on socialsecurity.wb.gov.in — do not rely on a single statewide date.

August was a verification-heavy cycle. Credits started from 17 August in phases. If status is Approved or Payment Pending, wait the cycle and confirm NPCI Aadhaar–bank mapping. If Pending at BDO or Bank Account Invalid, fix at the block office with your passbook.

The 90-day enrolment window closed on 25 August 2026. Use the portals to check status and update bank/Aadhaar details. Fresh forms after the deadline are handled at BDO/SDO if the state re-opens camps — not via unofficial sites.

Existing Lakshmir Bhandar beneficiaries were generally migrated after verification. Confirm on socialsecurity.wb.gov.in. Do not pay agents for a “new form” after 25 August 2026.

Public notifications describe eligible women residents of West Bengal, commonly cited as 25–60 years. Confirm the exact rule on the official .gov.in portal or at BDO before acting on third-party sites.

Yes. Use Aadhaar or registered mobile + OTP on socialsecurity.wb.gov.in. Application ID is still the fastest option if you have it.

Read the portal remark, fix documents (Aadhaar, bank seeding, ration/address), then visit BDO/SDO. Enrolment closed 25 Aug 2026 — do not pay anyone claiming to reopen the form online.

Yes. Carry Aadhaar and Application ID to your BDO / SDO / municipal helpdesk or a Duare Sarkar camp. Online check on socialsecurity.wb.gov.in remains the primary method.
