The Bengal Story Bureau:<\/strong> Lakhs of women across West Bengal who have applied for the Annapurna Bhandar scheme can now track their application online, using either the Application ID generated at submission, the Aadhaar number or the registered mobile phone number. The tracking facility sits on the state government’s official portals and requires only an OTP verification to display the latest application and payment status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rush to check status follows the first round of Direct Benefit Transfer payments, which credited Rs 3,000 each to more than 28 lakh approved beneficiaries from June 3, 2026. With the beneficiary list being updated every seven days, applicants whose names did not appear in the first round are checking the portal in large numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to check the status<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Annapurna Bhandar application can be tracked on the West Bengal Social Registry portal at socialregistry.wb.gov.in, which carries a Track Applicant Status option. The state’s social security portal at socialsecurity.wb.gov.in also hosts scheme services, including form downloads and status tools for migrated Lakshmir Bhandar beneficiaries. Both addresses are official government platforms; applicants should avoid lookalike private websites that mimic the portal name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to check status with the Application ID<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Application ID is the unique number generated when the online form was submitted, and it remains the cleanest way to track progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, open the official portal and click Track Applicant Status on the homepage. Second, enter the Application ID in the designated field. Third, enter the registered mobile number and the captcha code shown on screen. Fourth, verify the OTP that arrives on the mobile number. Fifth, press Submit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The screen then displays the current stage of the application: whether it is under verification, approved, on the beneficiary list, or rejected, along with the reason where applicable. Approved applicants can also see whether the Rs 3,000 instalment has been pushed to the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Checking with a phone number or Aadhaar<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Applicants who have misplaced the Application ID are not stuck. The same tracking page accepts the Aadhaar number or the registered mobile number as an alternative identifier. Log in to the citizen section with the mobile number and OTP, and the dashboard displays the application linked to that number, including its verification stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the status messages mean<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A status of under verification means block or municipal officials are still cross-checking the documents and the family data against electoral rolls and Aadhaar records. Approved means the name has been sanctioned by the District Magistrate or, in Kolkata, the KMC Commissioner. Payment processed means the DBT instruction has gone to the bank; if the money has still not arrived, the fault usually lies in Aadhaar-bank seeding rather than in the application itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rejections are typically traced to eligibility failures, duplicate entries, mismatched Aadhaar details or incomplete documents. The portal displays the rejection reason, and applicants can correct and reapply within the enrolment window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens next<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The government has said verification will run continuously through the 90-day enrolment period, with fresh names added to the beneficiary list every week. Applicants are advised to check the portal once a week rather than daily, keep the registered SIM active for OTPs, and confirm with their bank branch that the account is Aadhaar-seeded and DBT-enabled. Those whose applications show as approved but unpaid for more than one cycle should raise the issue at the local block office or a Duare Sarkar camp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
