Annapurna Bhandar Status Check Phone Number and Application ID Guide
An Annapurna Bhandar status check phone number search uses the mobile number you gave when you applied. This page explains how to do it, what to try if you only have an application ID, and what to do if your number is lost or the OTP does not arrive. Annapurna Bhandar is the popular name for the West Bengal scheme officially called Annapurna Yojana.
This is a free help guide, not a government website. Always check your status on the official portal listed on the West Bengal government scheme page.

- OTP means one time password. It usually comes by SMS to your registered number. Never share it with anyone.
- Exact button names can change, so read the screen carefully.
- If you lost the number, go to your BDO, SDO or KMC ward office.

Annapurna Bhandar status check by Aadhaar number: what we know
Many women search for an Annapurna Bhandar status check Aadhaar number option, or a way of Annapurna Bhandar track status by Aadhaar number. Others type Annapurna Bhandar check status by Aadhaar number. Please note this carefully.
- The official scheme page does not describe an Aadhaar number status search.
- News reports describe the status check as using the registered mobile number or application reference.
- So if you are asked to do an Annapurna Bhandar status check with Aadhaar card details on some other website, be careful. Do not type your Aadhaar number on sites you do not trust.
If the official portal does show an Aadhaar option in future, use it only on socialregistry.wb.gov.in. Your Aadhaar does matter for payment, because the money goes to your Aadhaar-linked bank account. Read our documents guide to learn more.
If your mobile number is lost or changed
This is a common problem. Maybe the SIM is lost, or the number was a family member's phone. A process for changing the registered number online is not described on the official pages. Here is what you can do:
- Try to get the same number back from your mobile shop by asking for a new SIM for that number.
- If that is not possible, go to your BDO office (village areas), SDO office (town areas), or KMC ward office (Kolkata Municipal Corporation area).
- Carry your EPIC (Voter ID card), Aadhaar card and your new mobile number.
- Ask the staff to check your status and tell you how to update your number.
For wrong details on your form, see our correction guide.
OTP not coming or captcha not working
- Check that your phone has network signal and that SMS inbox is not full.
- Wait a minute before asking for a new OTP. Too many requests may slow things down.
- Type the captcha exactly, including small and capital letters. If you cannot read it, refresh it to get a new one.
- Try at a quieter time, like early morning, when fewer people use the portal.
- If nothing works after a few days, ask at your BDO, SDO or KMC ward office.
