As the new government in Bengal tries to modify and enhance the various welfare schemes of the previous government’s, one of the most significant evolutions took place of the Lakshmir Bhandar scheme which was reworked into the Annapurna Bhandar scheme.
This scheme was specifically designed to empower women through increased financial independence and offers an increased monthly benefit of rupees 3,000 which will be provided to the beneficiaries via Direct Bank Transfer (DBT) to their Aadhaar-linked bank account . Its launch date is yet to be announced though it is expected to be launched by 1 June, 2026 and is to be implemented across West Bengal.
The Lakshmir Bhandar scheme is a flagship financial assistance program launched by the West Bengal government in 2021 to empower women of the state. It started with providing rupees 1,500 of financial assistance to women of lower income groups. To be eligible, a woman must be a permanent resident of the state, aged between 25 to 60 and should not be a government employee or pensioner. Funds are transferred directly to Aadhar linked bank accounts through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
