Do not mistake this guide for the government. An Annapurna Bhandar Status Check on this site does not check your real application — only the official Social Registry portal at socialregistry.wb.gov.in does that, with your district, registered mobile number and 6-digit OTP. This independent guide explains the process in plain words, but official records, decisions and payments are the government’s alone. Never share your OTP or bank details here or anywhere else.
