About Annapurna Check

Annapurna Check was created to help ordinary applicants understand Annapurna Yojana status check and related workflows—without wading through confusing portal labels or risky third-party “instant status” tools. The scheme is also called Annapurna Bhandar in everyday conversation.

Our mission

We translate public scheme information into clear English (and Bengali elsewhere on the site) so women in West Bengal can see what status stages mean, how DBT payments differ from approval, and how to stay safe from OTP fraud.

What we are not

Not a government website or department
Not a payment gateway or bank partner
Not a status-check API connected to Social Registry
Not agents who charge fees for approvals

How we maintain content

We periodically review pages against official portal URLs, published eligibility notifications, and widely reported helpline details. Sensitive pages show last verified dates via centralized site configuration.

When news reports and official text differ, we prioritize official sources and label news-reported items clearly.

Your role as a reader

Use our guides for learning, then always confirm on the official citizen portal before making financial or legal decisions. Share safety tips with relatives who may be less familiar with phishing.
