The Government of West Bengal has launched the Annapurna Bhandar Scheme (Matri Shakti Bharosa) for 2026, providing a monthly direct benefit transfer (DBT) of ₹3,000 to eligible women.
Beneficiaries frequently experience payment delays due to NPCI Aadhaar mapping failures, bank account mismatches, or rejected application IDs. It is critical to track your live application status to ensure your treasury payments do not bounce.
To check your live application status, resolve NPCI mapping errors, and view the latest July 2026 portal updates, visit the complete guide below:
1. Why is my Annapurna Bhandar status showing "Pending"?
If your status is pending, it means your application is currently under manual verification by the BDO office. Do not submit a duplicate application as this will cause further delays.
2. What does an "Aadhaar Mismatch" error mean?
This means the name on your bank account does not exactly match the name on your Aadhaar card. You must visit your local bank branch immediately to complete biometric e-KYC.
3. How do I fix an NPCI Mapping Payment Failure?
If your status shows "Payment Released" but your bank account is empty, your account is likely not seeded for Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). You must submit an Annexure-I form to your bank manager to fix the NPCI mapper immediately.
4. What are the official helpline numbers?
For severe delays, applicants can contact the state grievance helpline at 1070 or the toll-free number at 1800-345-5678.
