What does your portal status or issue show?

Select your error message below for an instant step-by-step resolution roadmap:

Problem: Payment Success but no money credited in the bank

Possible cause: NPCI Aadhaar seeding missing, or money credited to another account

Even when the government portal shows Payment Success, the main reason the money does not arrive is that NPCI / DBT Mapping is not active on the bank account you applied with. The money may have been credited to some other Aadhaar-linked account of yours.

1Check your other bank accounts

If you have any other old account in your name (e.g. SBI, PNB, Post Office), update its passbook and verify the balance.

2Submit the NPCI DBT mandate at your main bank

Visit the bank where you want the money regularly, fill up the Aadhaar Seeding Form and submit a xerox of your Aadhaar card.

3Wait 48–72 hours

Once Aadhaar mapping is completed on the bank server, all previous arrears will be credited automatically along with the next instalment.

Problem: Account Validation Failed / Invalid Account

Possible cause: mismatch in bank name spelling, account number or IFSC code

If the name spelling on the application does not match your bank passbook or Aadhaar card details, the government payment gateway cancels the account validation.

1Match the spellings on your passbook and Aadhaar card

Check that your name, surname and date of birth are exactly the same on both documents.

2Ensure the IFSC code is updated

If your bank was merged (e.g. UBI, Allahabad Bank), collect the new IFSC code.

3Submit a correction form at the BDO office

Get your account corrected at the block's Social Welfare department with self-attested xerox copies of your bank passbook and Aadhaar card.

Problem: Pending at BDO / SDO Level

Possible cause: the camp application is still awaiting final physical verification

Forms submitted at Duare Sarkar camps are data-entered and verified one by one at the block or subdivision level. Your form is in the verification queue.

1Keep the acknowledgement slip ready

Safely keep the Application ID from the receipt you received at the camp.

2Wait 15–30 days

Once approval of the next lot begins, it will automatically pass through at the BDO level.

3Follow up at the BDO office if the delay is longer

If it stays pending for more than 3 months, visit the block's Social Welfare department directly.

Problem: Payment Under Processing

Possible cause: funds released from the treasury but still processing on the bank's server

The money has been sent by the Finance Department but is in processing at the bank's clearing house. This is not an error, just an intermediate step before the money arrives.

1Wait 3 to 7 working days

Excluding banking holidays, the money will be credited directly to the account within 3–7 days.

2Watch for SMS alerts and check your balance

Watch for SMS on the mobile number linked to your bank, or check the mini-statement.

Problem: Duplicate Beneficiary Entry / Application Rejected

Possible cause: multiple applications submitted in the same person's name, or eligibility conditions not met

If you have submitted the form multiple times in the past, or a duplicate entry was detected against your Aadhaar number, the account may be cancelled.

1Collect all the camp slips

Take all the slips from every previous application along with your Aadhaar card.

2Merge the duplicates at the BDO office

Ask the nodal officer to delete the extra duplicate entries and activate your original application.

How to Fix Payment Delay Permanently

Step 1
🏦

Activate NPCI and Aadhaar DBT on your bank account (most important)

All West Bengal government allowances are sent only through **DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer)**. An Aadhaar link alone is not enough — the NPCI mapper must be active.

💡 What to say at the bank: "Please turn on Aadhaar DBT and NPCI seeding on my account so I can receive government benefits."
Step 2
🌐

Track your status online on the official portal

Go directly to the Social Security portal from your mobile and check your current payment status using your Aadhaar number or mobile number.

Step 3
🔒

Verify your bank account status and transaction limit (KYC)

If there are no transactions for a long time, the bank account becomes Dormant (inactive). Deposit ₹100 or ₹500 at the bank to reactivate the account and complete full KYC.

Step 4
🏢

Submit a written application at the BDO or Municipality office

If everything is fine at the bank but the portal still shows cancelled, visit the local BDO office's Social Security cell and submit a written petition.

Step 5
🛡️

Stay alert against cyber fraud

Remember, no government official will ever call asking for your OTP, bank password or ATM PIN. Never click on any link or message.

To the Block Development Officer (BDO),

District: South 24 Parganas


Subject: Application regarding non-receipt of the pending monthly allowance under the Annapurna Bhandar scheme.


Sir/Madam,

I, the undersigned Rupa Pramanik, Father/Husband: Swapon Pramanik, District: South 24 Parganas, am a permanent resident of the said district.


I had submitted my application for the Annapurna Bhandar scheme at a Duare Sarkar camp. My Application ID number is: WB-AB-2026-987456. But it is most unfortunate that the allowance money for July & August 2026 (at ₹3,000 per month) has not been credited to my bank account.


My bank account details: SBI, A/C: 38920192839, IFSC: SBIN0001234. Aadhaar and NPCI DBT are active on this account.


I therefore humbly pray that you kindly verify the documents and status of my application and take the necessary steps so that I receive the pending allowance along with regular payments hereafter.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. After the problem is fixed, will the earlier stuck arrears be paid?▼

Yes, definitely. As per West Bengal government rules, if your application was approved within the stipulated time and the money was stuck due to a bank issue, then after the account is corrected, all previous arrears will be sent to your bank account together with the next month's instalment.

2. Can Lakshmir Bhandar and Annapurna Bhandar schemes be received together?▼

No. According to the state government's social security policy, a beneficiary can receive the monthly benefit of only one such direct cash assistance scheme.

3. What should I do if I want to change my bank account?▼

If your previous bank account has been closed or has some complex error, you can visit your nearby BDO office and submit a Bank Account Rectification Form with your new passbook and Aadhaar card to add the new account number.

4. How long does the bank take to link NPCI / DBT?▼

After submitting the Aadhaar seeding form at the bank branch, the link is usually completed on the NPCI server within 48 to 72 working hours. You can also verify the status via the bank's mobile app or the Aadhaar portal.
