The form fill-up for the Annapurna Bhandar scheme has started from today, June 1. Beneficiaries will start getting money in their accounts from June 3. 

The government has started the form fill-up process from June 1. They will start sending money to the bank accounts of genuine beneficiaries from June 3. The government had said the faster you fill the form, the sooner you get the allowance. But as the process began, the BJP government has taken a tough decision and set a target.

People can fill the forms both online and offline starting today. For the registration process, the state's Chief Secretary, Manoj Agarwal, has appointed 22 officers. These officers are of Secretary and Principal Secretary rank, one for each of the 22 districts.

Authorities are also checking if ASHA workers, Booth Level Officers (BLOs), and Anganwadi workers are properly distributing the Annapurna Bhandar scheme forms door-to-door to all residents.

Meanwhile, Suvendu Adhikari has made it clear that this target must be met by June 2. He said that IAS officers must complete the target. This is to ensure that all eligible people start receiving the allowance from June 3.

You can also fill the form from the comfort of your home. Just go to the official website: https://socialsecurity.wb.gov.in/login. You will find the 11-page form there. Make sure you fill it carefully, especially your bank details. Also, you must link your Aadhaar with your mobile number, or you will not receive the money.
