The much-awaited Annapurna Bhandar (Annapurna Yojana) has now gone live in West Bengal almost a month after the BJP stormed into power. Under the scheme, the eligible women beneficiaries are set to receive ₹3,000 per month directly into their bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system. The scheme replaces the earlier Lakshmir Bhandar programme and is expected to benefit millions of women across West Bengal.
With the first round of payments beginning, many beneficiaries are now wondering whether the money has already been credited to their accounts and how they can verify the payment status.
