Check your eligibility in 1 minute

Runs only on your phone. Nothing is saved or sent.

1. Are you a woman?
2. Are you a permanent resident of West Bengal?
4. Are you a permanent government employee or a government pensioner?
5. Do you pay income tax?
6. Do you have a bank account in your own name?
Optional: Do you already get Lakshmir Bhandar?

How this checker works

The checker compares your answers with the basic Annapurna Bhandar rules described on our eligibility criteria page: the scheme is for women who are permanent residents of West Bengal, within the age limit, with their own bank account, and not in excluded groups such as permanent government employees, pensioners or income tax payers. Rules that we have not yet confirmed from an official notice are shown as "to be confirmed" instead of being used to decide your result.

After checking

This checker is also available in বাংলা and हिंदी.

Frequently asked questions

Is this Annapurna Bhandar eligibility checker official?
No. It is a free, independent tool that gives a quick indication based on your answers. Only the government decides eligibility after verifying your application.
Does this tool save my answers?
No. Everything runs inside your phone browser. Nothing is sent to us or stored, and your answers disappear when you close the page.
The checker says I may be eligible. What next?
Collect your documents using our documents checklist and apply on the official portal or at a government camp. Then track your status.
Why does the checker say the age limit is to be confirmed?
We only use an age limit after confirming it from an official notice. Until then, check the age rule in the official notification.
