There is no separate lakshmir bhandar status to check anymore. Annapurna Yojana replaced Lakshmir Bhandar on 1 June 2026. The old portal, socialsecurity.wb.gov.in, became the Annapurna Yojana Portal, and existing beneficiaries moved to the new scheme automatically, subject to the official migration exceptions.
If you still search for your old Lakshmir Bhandar record, you do not need to start from an old tracker. You need to check your record through the Annapurna routes. This guide explains what changed, why old status-check instructions no longer apply, and where you can look for your beneficiary record today.
Quick Answer
Lakshmir Bhandar ended as a separate scheme on 1 June 2026, when Annapurna Yojana replaced it. The old socialsecurity.wb.gov.in portal became the Annapurna Yojana Portal, and existing beneficiaries migrated automatically, except for the cases listed in the government’s SIR notification. Today, check your record through Track Applicant Status on the Social Security portal or Family Login on socialregistry.wb.gov.in.
What Happened on 1 June 2026
Three major changes took place on 1 June 2026. They affected the scheme, its portal and the women who already received Lakshmir Bhandar benefits.
1. Lakshmir Bhandar became Annapurna Yojana
The West Bengal government replaced Lakshmir Bhandar with Annapurna Yojana from 1 June 2026. The new scheme pays a flat ₹3,000 per month, which increased the value of the earlier support.
- ₹1,000–₹1,200 per month under Lakshmir Bhandar
- An extra ₹500 from February 2026 on top of the Lakshmir Bhandar monthly amount
- Flat ₹3,000 per month under Annapurna Yojana
If you want to understand the new scheme, its payment and beneficiary rules, see our complete Annapurna Yojana guide.
2. The Portal Changed Its Name
The old socialsecurity.wb.gov.in website became the Annapurna Yojana Portal. That news was reported on 18 May 2026.
So the web address did not need to change for the name to change. The same Social Security address now sits behind the Annapurna name.
3. Beneficiaries Moved Automatically
Existing Lakshmir Bhandar beneficiaries moved to Annapurna Yojana automatically, subject to the official migration exceptions listed in the notification.
You did not have to submit a fresh application for the move alone. The government moved the records across for you.
Thousands still type “lakshmir bhandar status” into search. That habit simply points towards old naming. The current answers live under Annapurna Yojana.
The Old Tracker vs Today’s Tracker
Old guides describe the old Lakshmir tracker. Today’s Annapurna tracker is a different, quieter route.
| The legacy Lakshmir tracker (old guides) | Today’s Annapurna tracker (attested) | |
|---|---|---|
| Inputs | Old pages list a mobile number, Aadhaar, an application ID or a Swasthya Sathi card. | One guide that inspected the live page reports that the tracker uses your registered mobile number, and the government publishes no official list of inputs. |
| Where | The old Lakshmir pages on socialsecurity.wb.gov.in | Track Applicant Status on the public page of the renamed Annapurna Yojana Portal |
| Scheme | Lakshmir Bhandar | Annapurna Yojana |
| Monthly benefit | ₹1,000–₹1,200 per month, plus ₹500 from February 2026. | Flat ₹3,000 per month. |
If an old guide walks you through the old tracker input list as today’s steps, then it is recycling the legacy tracker, and you should follow our Track Applicant Status guide instead.
Where an Old Beneficiary Checks Today
Route 1: Track Applicant Status
Visit the Annapurna Yojana Portal and choose Track Applicant Status from its public page. This is the correct first route if you only want to find your current record.
Route 2: Family Login
Use the Family Login on the West Bengal Social Registry if you want more information. Select your district, then enter your registered mobile number and the OTP that follows. This route can show the fuller record, including the status label and claim details.
The status shown belongs to a ₹3,000-per-month Annapurna record. The old ₹1,000–₹1,200 instalments are finished with the closed Lakshmir Bhandar chapter.
If Your Name Did Not Move Over
The notification kept out dead, shifted, deleted and absentee electors identified during SIR-2026, and it also removed deletions in the second list after the draft list, deletions after adjudication and ASDD cases found during voter-slip distribution.
People who made SIR appeals or CAA applications keep receiving assistance until their own decision comes through. Our Lakshmir Bhandar to Annapurna migration guide explains the full list of exceptions, and it explains the appeal protection step by step.
If you received Lakshmir money earlier but see nothing now, start with this question. Check your record on the two routes above, then visit your BDO or SDO office. Do not pay a “reactivation fee” to anyone. No official service uses such a fee, and that request is consistent with a fraud pattern. Report cyber fraud on 1930.
Old Pages, Old Videos, Old Numbers — a Cleanup Note
Old pages, videos and guides still use the Lakshmir Bhandar name in their titles. They may describe the old status process well, but they describe a closed scheme. Do not use them for today’s status check.
Some 033 numbers that appear with those old pages are legacy Lakshmir and department contacts. No official source confirms them as an Annapurna helpline, so this guide does not share or rely on them as an Annapurna helpline.
Judge every “Lakshmir status” page by its date. If it does not mention the 1 June 2026 replacement, then it describes a scheme that no longer runs.
বাংলায় সংক্ষেপে
Lakshmir Bhandar 1 June 2026 থেকে বন্ধ হয়েছে; তার জায়গায় এসেছে Annapurna Yojana, আর এখন মাসে ₹3,000 দেওয়া হয়।
পুরনো portal socialsecurity.wb.gov.in-এর নাম বদলে এখন Annapurna Yojana Portal হয়েছে।
পুরনো beneficiary-রা automatic migrate হয়েছেন, শুধু notification-এর SIR exception case বাদে।
Status এখন Annapurna-র পথে দেখুন: Social Security portal-এ Track Applicant Status, অথবা socialregistry.wb.gov.in-এ Family Login।
পুরনো tracker-এর input list — Aadhaar, application ID বা Swasthya Sathi card — আজকের Annapurna tracker-এর নিয়ম নয়।
যারা Lakshmir-এর টাকা পেতেন, তাঁদের record এখন Annapurna-তেই আছে, যদি না SIR সংক্রান্ত কোনও exception-এর মধ্যে পড়ে থাকেন।
Conclusion
The Lakshmir Bhandar name has closed with honour. The money, the portal and your record now sit under Annapurna Yojana, and the same record continues there. Use the Annapurna routes to check it quietly, and let the old Lakshmir pages retire.

FAQs
Can I still check my Lakshmir Bhandar status?
No. You cannot check a separate Lakshmir Bhandar status any longer. Lakshmir Bhandar ended as a separate scheme on 1 June 2026. Look for your record through the Annapurna routes instead.
Did I need to apply again when Annapurna replaced Lakshmir?
No. Existing Lakshmir Bhandar beneficiaries moved to Annapurna Yojana automatically, except for the cases listed in the government’s notification.
Why do old guides ask for Aadhaar or a Swasthya Sathi card?
Those guides describe the old Lakshmir Bhandar tracker. Today, the Annapurna tracker uses your registered mobile number, according to the one guide that inspected today’s live page. Do not follow the old input list for today’s steps.
How much did Lakshmir Bhandar pay, and how much does Annapurna pay?
Lakshmir Bhandar paid ₹1,000–₹1,200 per month, plus ₹500 from February 2026. Annapurna Yojana pays a flat ₹3,000 per month.
My Lakshmir payments stopped in June 2026. Why?
Your name may have fallen into the migration exceptions. The notification kept out dead, shifted, deleted and absentee electors and other cases listed in its SIR process. Check your record through the Annapurna routes, then visit your BDO or SDO office.
Is socialsecurity.wb.gov.in still a government portal?
Yes. The government portal socialsecurity.wb.gov.in remains a public, online government portal. It became the Annapurna Yojana Portal, so the name and scope changed but the site did not stop being a government portal.
