Who Can Apply for Annapurna Yojana
This scheme replaces the older Lakshmir Bhandar scheme, and the rules are a little stricter now. Before you apply, check that you match the basic conditions, otherwise your form may get rejected during verification.
- You must be a woman and a permanent resident of West Bengal, as the scheme is only for women of the state.
- Your age should be between 25 and 60 years, since women below 25 or above 60 are not eligible for the monthly money.
- You should not be an income tax payer and your family should not have a permanent or retired government employee drawing a regular salary or pension.
- Your Aadhaar must be linked with your bank account, because the ₹3,000 is sent directly through DBT to the Aadhaar seeded account.
One important point is that existing Lakshmir Bhandar beneficiaries are being moved into this scheme automatically, so many women do not need to apply fresh. New applicants who were not in the old list should fill the form, either online on the portal or offline at the BDO and SDO office.
Documents Needed Before You Apply
- Aadhaar card, which is mandatory for the application and for linking your bank account.
- Voter card or EPIC, which is also marked as mandatory on the portal.
- Bank passbook with an Aadhaar linked account where the money will come.
- Ration card and a recent mobile number that is registered in your name.
If you find it hard to fill the form yourself, you can take help from a nearby common service center, or visit your local government duare sarkar camp where staff help women complete the application.
