Annapurna Yojana: Are You 1 of 1.2 Cr Eligible Women?

The government's Annapurna Yojana scheme has confirmed 1.2 crore eligible women beneficiaries out of 1.5 crore applicants. If you or a family member applied, here's how to check your status and claim ₹3,000 assistance.

Here's what happened: Government received nearly 1.5 crore applications for Annapurna Yojana; 1.2 crore were verified as genuine eligible beneficiaries.. Eligible women beneficiaries are entitled to ₹3,000 financial assistance directly under this welfare scheme.. Beneficiary verification is complete — women can now check their status online to confirm if their application was approved..

What you should do: Visit the official Annapurna Yojana government portal and enter your Aadhaar number or application reference ID to check your beneficiary status immediately.. Confirm your bank account linked to Aadhaar is active and accepts Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) — otherwise your ₹3,000 payment could be delayed or rejected.. If your application was rejected despite being eligible, visit your nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) or state welfare office to raise a grievance before the deadline closes..

DBT payments often fail silently if your bank account name doesn't exactly match your Aadhaar name — check both before assuming payment is on the way.
