This guide explains every way to check your status, what each status message means, and what to do if something goes wrong, in simple steps that work on any Android phone.
We are an independent guide, not a government website. We cannot see or change your status. Always check it on the official portal: official Annapurna Bhandar status page (official link to be confirmed).
What you need before checking status
Keep these ready so you can finish in one go:
- Your application ID / acknowledgement number (printed on the slip you received or sent by SMS), or
- The mobile number you gave in the application, switched on and able to receive SMS (for the OTP)
- A phone or computer with internet. Mobile data is fine; the page is light.
Lost your application ID? See the FAQ at the bottom of this page.
How to check Annapurna Bhandar status online (step by step)
- Open the official portal in Chrome or any browser: official status page (official link to be confirmed). Make sure the address ends with .gov.in.
- On the home page, look for an option such as “Track Application”, “Check Status” or “Application Status”. The exact words can change when the portal is updated.
- Choose how you want to search: by application ID or by registered mobile number.
- Type the number carefully. Do not add spaces.
- Enter the captcha (the letters/numbers shown in the picture) if asked.
- Tap Send OTP, then type the 6-digit OTP you receive by SMS.
- Tap Submit / Search. Your application status appears on the screen.
- Take a screenshot of the result for your records.
Tip: If the page is slow, try early in the morning or late at night when fewer people are using the portal.
Status check by mobile number
Searching by mobile number is the most popular method because many people do not keep their application slip. It works only with the same mobile number you gave in the form, because the OTP is sent to that number.
If you have changed your number, you will not receive the OTP. In that case, visit your BDO office (rural areas) or municipality / ward office (urban areas) with your Aadhaar card and acknowledgement slip, and ask them to check the status for you.
Status check by Aadhaar number
You may see videos or websites claiming to show Annapurna Bhandar status “by Aadhaar number”. Be careful:
- Type your Aadhaar number only on the official .gov.in portal, and only if the portal itself offers that option.
- Never enter Aadhaar, OTP or bank details on unofficial websites, YouTube links or WhatsApp forwards.
- AnnapurnaBhandars.com will never ask for your Aadhaar number.
What does your Annapurna Bhandar status mean?
The portal shows a short status message. Here is what the common messages usually mean and what you should do:
| Status shown | What it means | What you should do |
|---|---|---|
| Submitted / Received | Your form has reached the system. | Nothing. Wait for verification. |
| Pending / Under process | Your form is in the queue and not yet checked. | Wait. Do not apply again. |
| Under verification / Under inquiry | Officials are checking your details and documents, sometimes with a field visit. | Keep your phone on and documents ready. |
| Approved / Sanctioned | You have been accepted as a beneficiary. | Check that your bank account is Aadhaar-seeded so payments can arrive. |
| Payment initiated / Paid | Money has been sent to your bank account. | Check your bank passbook or SMS. |
| Rejected | Your application was not accepted. | Read the reason and follow the steps below. |
| Returned for correction / Edit | Some details need to be corrected. | Log in and correct the details, or visit your office. |
The exact wording on the portal may be different. If you see a message not listed here. Ask at your local office what it means.
What is Annapurna Bhandar verification?
After you apply, officials verify that the information in your form is correct. This can include checking your Aadhaar, bank account, residence and age, and sometimes a home visit. Many people search for “Annapurna Bhandar verification link”, there is no separate link you need to click. Verification is done by officials; you only need to keep your status under watch and respond if contacted.
If your application is rejected
A rejection is not always final. Common reasons and fixes:
- Bank account problem: account closed, inactive, or name not matching Aadhaar. Fix it at your bank, then ask your office about re-submission. See payment status and bank problems.
- Not eligible: age or other condition not met. Check the rules on our eligibility page.
- Missing or unclear documents: re-check our documents required list.
- Duplicate application: more than one form for the same woman. Ask your office to cancel the extra one.
- Details mismatch: name, date of birth or address different across documents. Correct the document first.
After fixing the problem, contact your BDO / municipality office. Keep copies of everything you submit.
Approved but money not received?
If your status says approved but there is no money in your account, the issue is usually with bank and Aadhaar linking (DBT seeding). Read our Annapurna Bhandar payment status guide and check the latest payment date first, your payment may simply not have been released yet.
Common problems while checking status
- OTP not coming: check network signal, wait two minutes, and make sure the number is the one in your form. Too many tries can block OTP for a while. Try later.
- “Invalid application ID”: check for typing mistakes, especially 0 (zero) and O (letter).
- Page not opening: the portal may be busy or under maintenance. Try again after some time. Do not use unofficial “status check” websites.
- Login problems: see our portal login guide.
Check if your name is on the list
