Annapurna Bhandar status check 2026 (West Bengal)
Quick Reply (12 September 2026): Annapurna Bhandar (also called Annapurna Yojana in some notices) is the live West Bengal brand for the women’s monthly DBT that citizens still often search as Lakshmir Bhandar. Check status only on the official Social Registry — socialregistry.wb.gov.in/citizen/#/ (Applicant Login: district + registered mobile + OTP). Approved / Claim / Under Process is not proof of payment. Only a dated credit in the Aadhaar-linked bank record proves money landed. Secondary press coverage has pointed September ₹3,000 batches from 17 September 2026 (often cited 17–20 Sep) — VERIFY that date on a live government notice before you treat it as fixed. Do not open a second form while this record is live. Do not buy WhatsApp “list PDFs.”

Annapurna vs Lakshmir Bhandar
Search still mixes both names. In 2026 citizen intent, Annapurna Bhandar is the brand that shows up in Trends and news for West Bengal’s women’s monthly DBT, while Lakshmir Bhandar remains the older search phrase.
- Use this page when your question is Annapurna status / ₹3,000 batch / Claim / Under Process / bank validation.
- Use the Lakshmir Bhandar status guide for the shared Social Registry login path, payment-evidence rules, grievance and RTI patterns.
- Migration from Lakshmir → Annapurna (if your record was carried over) is handled on the official portal / handling office — this wiki does not invent a private migration form.
Amount language: secondary coverage widely describes ₹3,000 a month for Annapurna Bhandar. Confirm the figure that applies to your record on the portal or a government notice. Do not trust random “list PDFs.”
How to check status (official path)
Automation from this network could not load `socialregistry.wb.gov.in` on 12 Sep 2026 — treat UI labels below as commonly cited; re-click the live portal before you rely on exact button names.
- Open only socialregistry.wb.gov.in/citizen/#/ (or the hostname printed on your acknowledgement). Stick to .gov.in.
- Choose Applicant Login / Track Applicant Status as shown on the live page.
- Enter district, the 10-digit registered mobile, and the OTP (or Application ID / Aadhaar route if the live screen offers it).
- Screenshot: application / member ID, exact status text, date, and any bank-validation or error line.
- Then open the Aadhaar-linked passbook / SMS for a ₹3,000 narration. Portal text and bank credit are two different checks.
Keep a private note (do not post full IDs in public forums):
Application / member ID: District: Registered mobile (masked): Status + date: Bank name / last 4 digits: Last credit date / amount:
What common status labels usually mean
Portal wording can change. Use these as a citizen reading guide, then believe the live screen:
| Status / label (as commonly cited) | Practical meaning | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Approved | Record accepted for the scheme path — not automatic proof of this month’s credit | Check passbook; fix NPCI seeding if unpaid |
| Claim / Payment Pending | Payment instruction may be in the pipeline | Wait for dated bank credit; escalate only with screenshots if the public batch window has clearly passed |
| Under Process / Pending verification | Office or system review still open | Do not file a duplicate; visit the handling office if stuck past the local wave |
| Bank Account Invalid / bank validation failure | Aadhaar↔bank / NPCI mapper problem | Bank: Aadhaar seeding + DBT/NPCI enable on a single-holder account; then recheck portal |
| Rejected / Cancelled | Record closed or failed a check | Screenshot reason; ask handling office for written next step (re-verify vs re-apply window) |
September 2026 payment window (soft-label)
Secondary coverage (Sarkari Suvidha / Times Now Khobor lineage and similar) has pointed West Bengal’s September ₹3,000 Annapurna credits from 17 September 2026, with batches often cited across 17–20 Sep.
- That is a batch calendar rumour + secondary press, not a personal promise for your Application ID.
- VERIFY on the official portal footer, a government press note, or your handling office before you tell someone “payment is late.”
- Before the window: confirm portal status + Aadhaar–bank NPCI seeding.
- After the window: passbook first, then escalate with Application ID + status screenshot + last credited date.
Bank / NPCI checklist (Approved but unpaid)
- Ask the bank specifically for Aadhaar seeding + NPCI / DBT enable on the account you want for the scheme (not only “KYC done”).
- Prefer a single-holder account in the beneficiary’s name; joint / dormant accounts often fail quietly.
- Confirm UIDAI bank-seeding status (myAadhaar) shows Active for the same bank if you use that path.
- Recheck Social Registry after the bank updates the mapper.
- Skip WhatsApp “unlock / status agent” links.
Do not
- Buy or forward WhatsApp “beneficiary list PDFs.”
- File a second online application while this record is open unless an official closes the first.
- Share OTP / Aadhaar with callers.
- Treat “Approved” as money in the bank.
When to visit the office
Take Aadhaar + passbook + portal screenshots to the block / municipal / Duare Sarkar desk that handled the form (or the office named on your acknowledgement). Ask whether the record is held for field verify, bank validation, or cancellation — and what written next step is available.
FAQ
Is Annapurna Bhandar the same as Lakshmir Bhandar?
They share the same Social Registry ecosystem and citizen confusion. Annapurna is the live brand in 2026 search/news for the women’s monthly DBT; Lakshmir Bhandar remains a common search phrase. Use both this page and the LB status guide.
Can I check Annapurna status by mobile number?
The Social Registry Applicant Login commonly uses district + registered mobile + OTP. Use the mobile that was registered in the application.
Does Approved mean ₹3,000 is credited?
No. Approved (or similar) is application-stage language. Only a dated bank credit is payment evidence.
When is September 2026 payment?
Secondary coverage has cited 17 Sep (often 17–20 Sep batches). VERIFY on official sources before relying on that date.
Should I re-apply if stuck on Submitted / Under Process?
Usually no while the first record is open. Fix bank validation or wait for verification; ask the handling office before a duplicate form.
Is there a public Annapurna beneficiary list?
Do not trust random PDFs. Use the official Social Registry login and your own bank record.
