Annapurna Bhandar Yojana 2026 Apply Status is the current search intent for West Bengal’s Annapurna Yojana. Verified fresh on 20.08.2026: the official portal at socialregistry.wb.gov.in now shows a public Applicant Login screen. Select your district, enter your registered mobile number, and verify the 6-digit OTP sent to it to view your application status and file a grievance if needed — there is no application ID field on this form, login works by mobile number only. This is a genuine change from the restricted, department-only access this page reported on 07.08.2026 and 10.08.2026. Any other website offering an Annapurna Bhandar status check by application ID or a different process is unofficial. Do not enter Aadhaar, bank or OTP details anywhere except the .gov.in portal itself. The exact steps and the verified portal link are below.
Annapurna Bhandar status — live updates
24.08.2026: The applicant login at socialregistry.wb.gov.in was open and working on this date, and it carried no closure notice and no last date for applying. The official Annapurna Yojana page on the state portal wb.gov.in was rechecked the same day and also prints no application deadline, only the online portal and the BDO, SDO and KMC ward offices as submission points. The login screen now states two conditions in writing: only one account or application may be linked to a single mobile number, and Aadhaar plus EPIC must be ready before applying. The 25, 29 and 30 August dates circulating on private sites are different counts of the announced 90-day registration window and appear on no government page.
21.08.2026: Added a full DBT payment section for beneficiaries whose application is approved but whose Rs 3,000 has not reached the bank. It explains why an Aadhaar-linked account is not the same as an account seeded in the NPCI mapper, how to check that seeding status yourself on the UIDAI portal, and which option on the bank consent form actually moves the mapping. Sourced from the DBT Mission published Aadhaar seeding process; the official portal still publishes no scheme helpline number.
Latest check – 20.08.2026: The official portal at socialregistry.wb.gov.in now shows a public Applicant Login option on its homepage, alongside the restricted department-officer login. The flow requires selecting your district, entering your registered mobile number, and verifying a 6-digit OTP — there is no separate application ID field. On the 07.08.2026 and 10.08.2026 checks this same page showed only the restricted, department-only access with no citizen login visible.
10.08.2026: The portal address was rechecked. socialsecurity.wb.gov.in now redirects to socialregistry.wb.gov.in, which shows “Restricted – Authorised Personnel Only” and offers only department officer, enquiry officer and KMC operator logins. No citizen status screen was present. The WCDSW administrative-notice page still lists the 20.05.2026 Annapurna Yojana notification as the latest entry for this scheme.
07.08.2026: The official Social Security WB URL redirected to a restricted authorised-personnel portal. Public citizen login and live status access were not verifiable.
20.05.2026: The official WCDSW administrative-notice page listed “Notification for Annapurna Yojana” dated 20.05.2026. The download action currently opens a CAPTCHA verification route.
29.05.2026: An official West Bengal block website published an Annapurna Yojana Bengali form PDF; a clean copy is linked in the final Important Links table.

Annapurna Bhandar status check today
| Check point | Verified status on 20.08.2026 |
|---|---|
| Scheme name in department notice | Annapurna Yojana |
| Common search name | Annapurna Bhandar |
| Official portal response | socialregistry.wb.gov.in now shows a public Applicant Login section alongside the restricted department-officer login |
| Public citizen status screen | Present — login by district plus registered mobile number plus OTP; there is no application ID field |
| What the status check needs | Your district, the mobile number registered at the time of application, and a one-time OTP (Aadhaar and EPIC/voter ID must already be on record) |
| Department notice listing | Available on the official WCDSW administrative-notice page |
| Form source | Published by an official West Bengal block website; clean copy is in Important Links below |
If you are looking for a clickable official source, scroll to the final Important Links table below. Only the socialregistry.wb.gov.in domain and other .gov.in sources are used here — never a look-alike .com or .in status-checker site.
Annapurna Yojana last date to apply
This is the one question the official portal does not answer in a single line, so it is worth being exact about what is published and what is not. Every value below was checked on 24.08.2026 on the government portal and the state scheme page, and nothing here is taken from a private status-checker site.
| Last date question | What the official sources show on 24.08.2026 |
|---|---|
| Annapurna Yojana last date | No calendar last date is published. Neither the applicant login on socialregistry.wb.gov.in nor the state scheme page prints a closing date for applications. |
| Is the portal still open | Yes on 24.08.2026. The district plus registered mobile number plus OTP login opened normally and showed no closure banner. |
| Last date to apply online | A 90-day registration window was announced when payments began on 03.06.2026. The closing date itself was never notified, so the safe reading is that the window ends this month and a new application should not be left for later. |
| Why sites show 25 August | Private sites count 90 days from the 27.05.2026 offline form release. Others print 29 or 30 August by counting from the 03.06.2026 online start instead. None of the three dates appears on any government page. |
| Last date form fill up | The offline route is unchanged: the Block Development Officer office, the Sub-Divisional Officer office, or the ward office inside the Kolkata Municipal Corporation area. The state scheme page lists these submission points and names no cut-off. |
| Documents before the end date | EPIC (voter ID), Aadhaar and an active mobile number. The login screen adds that only one account or application may be linked to a single mobile number, so a shared family number will block the second applicant. |
| Deadline for a rejected form | No re-application or correction window is notified on the portal. An application already submitted has to be taken up through the citizen login grievance route or with the office that accepted the form. |
In short, there is no official last date to quote, and that is the honest answer rather than a date copied from another website. অন্নপূর্ণা যোজনার লাস্ট ডেট সরকারি পোর্টালে লেখা নেই, তাই দেরি না করে আবেদন করাই নিরাপদ। The direct applicant login and the official form are in the final Important Links table at the end of this page.

Annapurna Bhandar form PDF download
| Form detail | What the reader should know |
|---|---|
| Available form copy | Family Level Data Collection Form for Annapurna Yojana, published directly on socialsecurity.wb.gov.in |
| Form version shown on file | Final, dated 10 June 2026 |
| Reader-facing PDF | Direct official-domain download, no CAPTCHA, verified 20.08.2026 — link in the final Important Links table below |
| Safety check | Do not pay for a form download or use a third-party application URL |
The WCDSW department’s own notification-listing download is still protected by CAPTCHA, so that notice stays linked separately in Important Links. The application form itself is now linked as a direct download straight from the government’s own socialsecurity.wb.gov.in domain, replacing the earlier third-party block-website copy.
How to check Annapurna Bhandar application status
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open the direct Applicant Login link from the final Important Links table below (socialregistry.wb.gov.in/citizen). |
| 2 | Select your district from the list. |
| 3 | Enter the mobile number that was registered at the time of applying, then request the OTP. |
| 4 | Enter the 6-digit OTP sent to that number to log in. |
| 5 | Open your application inside the citizen dashboard to view the current status, or use the same login to file a grievance if the status looks wrong. |
| 6 | If the mobile number is not accepted or the portal shows the restricted screen again, contact the authorised BDO, SDO or municipal office handling your application instead. |
Only one application can be linked to a single mobile number, and Aadhaar plus EPIC (voter ID) details need to already be on record for the login to work. A status result shown on any site other than socialregistry.wb.gov.in is not proof of anything — check there first.
Annapurna Bhandar list check and name list 2026
Searches for the beneficiary list, name list, approved list and final list all want the same answer: is my name in, or not. West Bengal does not answer that with a public roll of names, and knowing that saves a wasted hunt for a file that was never published.
| List question | Verified answer on 21.08.2026 |
|---|---|
| Is there a name list PDF | No statewide downloadable list of beneficiary names is published by the department. The WCDSW administrative-notice page carries one Annapurna item only, the Notification dated 20.05.2026, and no list document of any kind |
| What a list check really is | A login that returns your own record, not a public roll. Sign in on the citizen portal with your district, the mobile number registered when you applied, and an OTP |
| Any site offering a list download | Not a government file. No official West Bengal domain publishes one, so a PDF of names on a private site cannot confirm or deny your sanction, and should never be paid for |
| Approved list and final list | Both describe the same sanction decision on your own application. The portal shows it as your application status; there is no separately published provisional and final roll |
| When a new list is released | The department has not notified any list-release calendar. Fresh applications go to enquiry by authorised officials before sanction, so a status can change without any list being announced |
| KMC and district-wise lists | Also not published as downloadable files. In the Kolkata Municipal Corporation area the ward office is the authorised office for the scheme, the same role BDO and SDO offices hold elsewhere |
| Name shown, money not received | Sanction and credit are separate. If your record is approved but the transfer has not arrived, the cause is almost always Aadhaar seeding in the NPCI mapper, covered in the payment section above |
The Bengali searches for this are the same question in another script — অন্নপূর্ণা ভাণ্ডার লিস্ট চেক and অন্নপূর্ণা যোজনা নামের তালিকা both lead to the citizen login, not to a downloadable roll. If the registered mobile number is not accepted there, the authorised BDO, SDO or KMC ward office holds your record and is the correct place to ask.
If your name is not in the Annapurna Yojana list
| If your name is not in | Annapurna Bhandar official record |
|---|---|
| Lakshmir Bhandar beneficiary, name now missing | The notification migrates existing Lakshmir Bhandar beneficiaries to Annapurna Yojana except electors recorded as dead, shifted, deleted or absentee. |
| Why an entry was deleted | A database-cleansing exercise before the rollout identified absent, shifted, deceased and duplicate elector entries for removal. |
| Who carried out the verification | Door-to-door checking by gram panchayat officials, gram rojgar sahayaks, nirman sahayaks and booth-level officers, under district administration oversight. |
| New applicant, status unknown | Fresh applications are subject to enquiry by authorised government officials, including residential status, before sanction. |
| Where to raise it | Use the socialregistry.wb.gov.in citizen login first; if the mobile number is not recognised, raise it with the authorised BDO, SDO or municipal office for your application area. |
A name missing from a list shown on a private website is not an official rejection. Only the citizen portal or the authorised office can confirm whether an entry was deleted during verification, is still pending enquiry, or was never registered. Keep the registered mobile number and Aadhaar-linked bank details ready.
Annapurna Bhandar payment not received in bank account
An approved application and a credited account are two different things. The money is sent by Direct Benefit Transfer, and DBT does not read the account number written on your form — it reads the account your Aadhaar is currently seeded to in the NPCI mapper.

| Payment question | What the official DBT rule says |
|---|---|
| Which account gets the DBT payment | Whichever bank account your Aadhaar is seeded to in the NPCI mapper on the date of transfer — not necessarily the account you wrote on the application form |
| Is Aadhaar linked enough | No. The DBT Mission states that by linking the Aadhaar number to the account, the branch is not updating the mapper; that update is done separately by the bank’s central team or IT division |
| If Aadhaar is on two bank accounts | Only one account can be linked at a time. Where consent was given to several banks, the benefit is credited to the last seeded bank whose status is active in the NPCI mapper |
| Whose fault is a seeding delay | The bank’s. Official guidance is explicit that if the Aadhaar number is not updated in the NPCI mapper the action lies purely with the bank, and the customer should not be told that NPCI has not updated it |
| Money shows credited but missing | Check the passbook of any older account — a bank seeded years earlier for LPG subsidy or salary will keep receiving the transfer until the mapping is moved |
How to check Annapurna Bhandar DBT bank seeding status
This does not need the bank. UIDAI pulls the seeding record live from the NPCI server, so you are reading the same record the payment system reads. The direct link is in the final Important Links table below.
- Open the UIDAI Bank Seeding Status page linked in the Important Links table at the end of this page.
- Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number and the captcha, then request an OTP on the mobile number registered with Aadhaar.
- Submit the OTP to see the seeding record returned from the NPCI server.
- Read two things: whether the status is active, and which bank name is shown against it.
- If the status is inactive, the transfer has nowhere to land. If a bank you no longer use is shown, check that account before assuming the money was never sent.
Bank says Aadhaar is linked but Annapurna money not credited
This is the most common dead end, and it has a specific fix. Ask the branch by name for the consent form titled “Application for Linking / Seeding Aadhaar Number and Receiving DBT Benefits into Bank Account (NPCI Mapping)”, carry a photocopy of your Aadhaar, and go to the branch where you want the money rather than the one holding the mapping now.
| Situation at the bank counter | What to do about it |
|---|---|
| Branch shows a screen as proof | It is not proof. Official guidance tells branches that an active Aadhaar in the bank’s CBS does not mean the mapper file is updated, and that they should not show the CBS screen or give a screenshot to confirm seeding |
| Branch blames NPCI | NPCI cannot edit the mapper; only banks can. The same guidance instructs branches not to tell the customer that NPCI has not updated the Aadhaar number |
| Never seeded at any bank | On the consent form, tick the first option, which seeds your account with the NPCI mapper for the first time |
| Seeded to the wrong bank | Tick the option that requests a change of NPCI mapping to your account with this bank, and write in the name of the bank the mapping is moving from |
| The tick box to avoid | One option states that you do not want to change the mapping from the existing bank. It reads almost identically to the option above and leaves the payment going to the old account |
| Before leaving the bank counter | Collect the stamped acknowledgement of the consent form. Escalation beyond the branch — the bank’s grievance cell, its nodal officer, or a written complaint to NPCI — requires that acknowledgement copy |
| Not a banking problem | Wrong details in the application, a name missing from the approved list or a status still under verification belong to the BDO, SDO or KMC ward office where the Annapurna Yojana form is officially submitted |
Official source and scam check
| Signal | Decision |
|---|---|
| Domain is a West Bengal government site | Use it only for the function it actually exposes |
| Website asks for payment for a free form | Do not proceed |
| A non-.gov.in site asks for an Application ID, OTP, debit-card PIN or remote-app access | Stop and report it — the real portal never needs an Application ID |
| Page promises guaranteed approval | False or unverified claim; official sanction still applies |
