Official portals (use these only)

Purpose	Official link

Application status vs payment / credit status

Track Applicant Status

Pending · Under Verification · Approved · Rejected. Must be Approved before regular ₹3,000 credits.

Credit / DBT status

Whether the monthly ₹3,000 was credited, pending, or failed — then confirm bank SMS / passbook.

How to check status (Application ID / mobile / Aadhaar)

Open the status portal

Go to socialsecurity.wb.gov.in only — ignore lookalike .com / .in sites asking for OTP or fees.
Click Track Applicant Status

On the homepage, open Track Applicant Status / Check Application Status.
Enter Application ID, mobile, or Aadhaar

Use Application Reference Number, registered mobile, or Aadhaar as prompted, plus captcha if shown.
Verify OTP if asked

Enter the OTP sent to the registered mobile. Never share OTP with agents or unofficial sites.
Read status & payment

Note Pending / Under Verification / Approved / Rejected, then open Credit Status / Payment / DBT for ₹3,000 credits.

Which ID to use

Method	When to use	Tip
Application ID	Best after you applied and saved the acknowledgement / reference number.	Keep a screenshot or SMS of the Application ID — fastest track path.
Aadhaar number	Use when you applied with Aadhaar seeding but misplaced the Application ID.	Enter carefully; wrong digits show “record not found”.
Registered mobile + OTP	Use for full login, payment history, and profile updates.	OTP must come from the number linked on the portal — never share it.

How to check ₹3,000 DBT / credit status

Open Payment / Credit Status

On socialsecurity.wb.gov.in, open Credit Status, Track Payment, or DBT after login / track.
Enter ID details

Use Application ID or registered mobile (and Aadhaar if asked).
Read transaction result

Portal may show credited, pending, or failed for the monthly ₹3,000 cycle.
Confirm in bank

Match with bank SMS / passbook / UPI — narration often includes ANNAPURNA YOJANA or WB DBT.

Verify Aadhaar–bank DBT link (NPCI)

If Credit Status shows failed or bank has no ₹3,000, check which account is mapped for government DBT.

1. Open NPCI

Visit npci.org.in → Consumer section → Aadhaar Mapper (or equivalent DBT mapper link).
2. Verify with mobile OTP

Enter Aadhaar-linked mobile and complete OTP.
3. Confirm mapped bank

Check which bank account is active for government DBT. Fix mismatches at your bank branch.

Status meanings — what to do next

Pending

Application received; not yet processed by the block/municipality.

Next: Wait 7–15 working days, then re-check. No new form needed unless the portal asks for correction.

Under Verification

Documents and eligibility are being checked by BDO / SDO / KMC officials.

Next: Keep Aadhaar, bank, and ration details ready if the office calls for clarification.

Approved

Eligible beneficiary — monthly ₹3,000 DBT is scheduled to your Aadhaar-linked account.

Next: Open Payment / Credit Status each month and match the credit in your passbook/UPI.

Rejected

Not approved. Portal usually shows a short reason (duplicate, incomplete docs, ineligible).

Next: Read the remark, fix documents, and re-apply on socialregistry.wb.gov.in or visit BDO helpdesk.

Common reasons ₹3,000 payment fails

Joint bank account used (single-holder accounts preferred for DBT)
Bank account not DBT-enabled — verify on NPCI Aadhaar Mapper
Aadhaar not linked to the bank account used in the form
Incorrect IFSC or account number on the application
Application still Pending / Under Verification

Key dates

Date	Event
19 May 2026	Annapurna Yojana notification issued (WCD & SW Dept.)
1 Jun 2026	First ₹3,000 DBT credit & online application portal opens
3 Jun 2026	Scheme inauguration; first large DBT credit batch
90 days from launch	Enrolment drive window for new applicants (online + camps)

Details needed

Aadhaar Card (linked to bank account)
Ration card / address proof
Aadhaar-linked bank passbook or account details (single-holder preferred for DBT)
Registered mobile number (for OTP login)
Application ID (save after applying — needed for status check)

Troubleshooting

Portal shows “record not found”

Confirm Application ID, try Aadhaar/mobile, and ensure you used .gov.in portals (not fake sites).

Status Approved but ₹3,000 not credited

Check Credit Status on the portal, then bank SMS. Verify Aadhaar–bank seeding on NPCI mapper. Prefer a single-holder DBT-enabled account.

Payment shows Failed

Common causes: joint account, inactive DBT, wrong IFSC/account, or Aadhaar not linked. Fix at bank + update portal, then wait for next cycle.

Stuck on Pending / Under Verification

Re-check after 7–15 working days. If unchanged, visit BDO/SDO/KMC or a Duare Sarkar camp with Aadhaar and Application ID.

OTP not received / portal slow

Use the exact registered mobile; try early morning or late night if traffic is high. Update number only via official portal/helpdesk.

Helpline & offline help

Cross-check any number on the official portal before dialling. Prefer BDO/SDO if unsure.

Alternate toll-free (verify on portal)	1800-345-5555

Common questions

When will the first ₹3,000 payment start?

Per the 19 May 2026 notification, DBT credits begin from June 2026 to Aadhaar-linked bank accounts. Large first-batch credits were reported around the 3 June 2026 inauguration.

Do I need to apply for Annapurna Bhandar if I have Lakshmir Bhandar?

Existing Lakshmir Bhandar beneficiaries are generally migrated after verification — confirm status on socialsecurity.wb.gov.in. New enrolment is on socialregistry.wb.gov.in for those not migrated.

Why is my May 2026 payment delayed?

Annapurna Bhandar payments start from June 2026. Lakshmir Bhandar instalments follow their own schedule. Check both application status and bank DBT entries on the official portal.

How do I check Annapurna Bhandar status online?

Visit socialsecurity.wb.gov.in → Track Applicant Status → enter Application ID, Aadhaar, or registered mobile + OTP. Never share OTP on unofficial websites.

What is the difference between application status and payment status?

Application status shows Pending, Under Verification, Approved, or Rejected. Payment / Credit Status shows whether the ₹3,000 monthly DBT was sanctioned, credited, pending, or failed.

What is the difference between socialregistry.wb.gov.in and socialsecurity.wb.gov.in?

socialregistry.wb.gov.in is mainly for new registration/apply. socialsecurity.wb.gov.in is used for status tracking, payment/credit checks, and form downloads. Both are official .gov.in portals.

Can I check Annapurna Bhandar status without Application ID?

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

What should I do if my Annapurna Bhandar application is rejected?

Read the portal remark, fix documents (Aadhaar, bank seeding, ration/address), then re-apply on socialregistry.wb.gov.in or at a block/municipal camp. Do not pay anyone claiming to “fix” status.

Is there an offline way to check status?

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.

What is the Annapurna Bhandar helpline number?

Numbers widely published for support include Social Welfare toll-free 1800-345-5505 and 1800-345-5555. Cross-check the number shown on the official .gov.in portal before dialling, or visit your BDO/SDO.
