Annapurna Yojana update today — 28 September 2026
Today’s verification: No newer Annapurna-specific Government of West Bengal or PIB release dated 28 September 2026 was found during this check. The latest official payment event remains the 17 September instalment release, while the WCD & SW administrative-notice list still shows the Annapurna notification dated 20 May 2026 as the newest Annapurna-specific entry.
The Government of West Bengal Annapurna Yojana scheme page continues to list ₹3,000 per month for eligible women aged 25–60, subject to the full official eligibility conditions. It lists EPIC/Voter ID, Aadhaar and an active mobile number among mandatory application items.
Important official portal change
The official Annapurna portal has been indexed showing a public Track Applicant Status link and a separate office-only login; Social Registry is listed by the state for applications. The live Social Registry page could not be independently retrieved during this check, so verify the current button and any redirects yourself before entering details. The Family Level Data Collection Portal may present different login options over time. During the current public-page check, only a restricted Department Officer Login was visible; a public citizen-status option could not be independently confirmed. Do not use officer credentials or enter personal information on unofficial tracking sites.

Payment dates and application deadlines
The fourth ₹3,000 instalment was released on 17 September 2026, with approximately 1.5 crore women cited in the PIB announcement. That release date is not evidence that every individual account has been credited. Reporting on 19 September described women in Howrah who still had pending credits. An approved application and a completed DBT credit are different stages. The state scheme page checked today does not show an application last date; check portal availability or ask the responsible BDO, SDO or KMC ward office before acting.
