2026: Annapurna Bhandar Scheme<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The West Bengal government has launched Annapurna Bhandar, a new financial assistance scheme for women. The scheme came into effect on 1 June 2026, and eligible beneficiaries began receiving their monthly payments in June 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key points about this change:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Under Annapurna Bhandar, eligible women receive a <strong>flat \u20b93,000 per month<\/strong>, which is higher than the Lakshmir Bhandar amount, and there is <strong>no category difference<\/strong> (all eligible women get the same amount).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Existing Lakshmir Bhandar beneficiaries are being automatically migrated<\/strong> to Annapurna Bhandar after verification, so they do not need to apply again.

Under the scheme, money is transferred directly to beneficiaries&#8217; bank accounts through the DBT system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>General-category women received \u20b9500 per month and SC\/ST women received \u20b91,000 per month. The assistance was later increased to \u20b91,500 and \u20b91,700 per month respectively. With over two crore beneficiaries, Lakshmir Bhandar has become one of India&#8217;s largest women-focused welfare schemes, helping women achieve greater financial stability and independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Was_Lakshmir_Bhandar_Started\"><\/span><strong>Why Was Lakshmir Bhandar Started?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding the purpose of the scheme helps us know why it became so successful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>To give women their own income:<\/strong> The main aim is to give women a regular monthly amount of their own, so they are not fully dependent on others for small expenses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>To support poor households:<\/strong> The money helps families manage daily costs like food, medicine, and children&#8217;s needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>To promote gender equality:<\/strong> By putting money directly in women&#8217;s hands, the scheme gives them more respect and say in family decisions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>To reach women across the state:<\/strong> Through camps and local offices, the scheme included women from both villages and cities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>To ensure direct, honest transfer:<\/strong> Using DBT, the money goes straight to the woman&#8217;s account with no middleman.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lakshmir_Bhandar_Amount_2026_How_Much_Money_You_Get\"><\/span><strong>Lakshmir Bhandar Amount 2026: How Much Money You Get<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The amount depends on the woman&#8217;s category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-background has-fixed-layout\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(255,245,203) 0%,rgb(182,227,212) 100%,rgb(51,167,181) 100%)\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Category<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Monthly Amount<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Yearly Amount<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>SC \/ ST women<\/td><td>\u20b91,700<\/td><td>\u20b920,400<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>General &amp; other categories<\/td><td>\u20b91,500<\/td><td>\u20b918,000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A few important points about the amount:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The money is sent through <strong>DBT<\/strong> directly into the woman&#8217;s own Aadhaar-linked bank account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is usually credited <strong>every month<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SC and ST women get a slightly higher amount (\u20b91,700) than general-category women (\u20b91,500).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under the <strong>new Annapurna Bhandar Scheme<\/strong>, all eligible women get a flat <strong>\u20b93,000 per month<\/strong>, removing the category difference.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So whether you are in the general or SC\/ST category, the scheme gives you a steady monthly income to support your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lakshmir_Bhandar_Eligibility_2026_Who_Can_Apply\"><\/span><strong>Lakshmir Bhandar Eligibility 2026: Who Can Apply?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To apply, the woman must meet all these conditions.

What is the Lakshmir Bhandar Scheme?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a West Bengal government scheme launched in 2021 that gives monthly money support to women from poor households \u2014 \u20b91,500 for general-category women and \u20b91,700 for SC\/ST women \u2014 directly in their Aadhaar-linked bank accounts through DBT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q2. How much money do I get under Lakshmir Bhandar?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>General-category women get \u20b91,500 per month (\u20b918,000 a year), and SC\/ST women get \u20b91,700 per month (\u20b920,400 a year). Under the new Annapurna Bhandar Scheme, all eligible women get a flat \u20b93,000 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q3. Who is eligible for the Lakshmir Bhandar Scheme?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A permanent woman resident of West Bengal, aged 25 to 60, enrolled in Swasthya Sathi, who is not a government employee or pensioner. General-category families must not pay income tax or own more than 2 hectares of farmland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q4. Can an employed woman apply for the scheme?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A woman with a regular government salary or pension is not eligible. However, women without such government employment, including homemakers and many self-employed women, can apply if they meet the other conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q5. How do I apply for the Lakshmir Bhandar Scheme?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process is offline. Collect the form from a Duare Sarkar camp or your local BDO, SDO, or KMC office, fill it, attach the documents, and submit it at the same place. You cannot fully apply online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q6. How do I check my Lakshmir Bhandar status?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit socialsecurity.wb.gov.in, click &#8220;Track Application,&#8221; enter your application ID, mobile number, Aadhaar, or Swasthya Sathi number, enter the captcha, and click &#8220;Search&#8221; to see your status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q7. Is there any fee to apply for the scheme?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Applying for the Lakshmir Bhandar Scheme is completely free. You should never pay any agent or office for the form or the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q8. What should I do if my payment is delayed or not received?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check that your bank account is active and Aadhaar-linked, confirm your application is approved, and contact the helpline at 033-2214-3526 or your local office with your application details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q9. What happens when I turn 60?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scheme covers women up to the age of 60. After that, the woman may become eligible for an old-age pension under another West Bengal welfare scheme, so she does not lose support entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q10. Is Lakshmir Bhandar being replaced in 2026?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. From June 2026, the new Annapurna Bhandar Scheme (\u20b93,000 per month) is replacing Lakshmir Bhandar. Existing beneficiaries are being auto-migrated after verification, so they should keep their Aadhaar-linked bank account active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-left\"><strong>Read our article<\/strong>:<mark style=\"background: #fffd03 !important;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whizseed.com\/blogs\/banglar-yuva-sathi-scheme-eligibility-benefits-how-to-apply\/\u00a0 \">Banglar Yuva Sathi Scheme<\/a><\/mark><\/p>\n\n<br>\n\n<p class=\"text-left\"><strong>Read our article<\/strong>:<mark style=\"background: #fffd03 !important;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whizseed.com\/blogs\/jai-bangla-pension-scheme-eligibility-sub-schemes-amount-how-to-apply-status-check\/\">Jai Bangla Pension Scheme\n\n<\/a><\/mark><\/p>\n\n<br>\n\n<p class=\"text-left\"><strong>Read our article<\/strong>:<mark style=\"background: #fffd03 !important;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whizseed.com\/blogs\/west-bengal-health-scheme-eligibility-benefits-hospital-list-helpline-number-cashless-limit\/\u00a0 \">West Bengal Health Scheme<\/a><\/mark><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lakshmir Bhandar is a West Bengal government scheme that gives monthly money support to women from poor households.
