Annapurna Yojana: Update bank details before the money arrives, otherwise you will not get Rs 3000; Know the whole process

By Samira Vishwas On Jun 2, 2026

Annapurna Yojana:West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari had last week announced that the first phase of fund transfer under ‘Annapurna Yojana’ will start from June 3 in which eligible women beneficiaries will get ₹3,000 directly in their bank accounts. Since the beneficiaries of Lakshmir Bhandar are expected to be automatically shifted to the proposed Annapurna Bhandar Scheme, many beneficiaries may need to update their bank account details due to issues like inactive account, incorrect information, DBT failure or change of bank. It is also important to keep your Aadhaar linked bank account active and updated to get the payment easily. Here is how to update the bank account details before the money is credited.

Check whether your account is linked to Aadhaar or not

Before updating your bank account details, first check which bank account is currently linked to your Aadhaar to receive DBT payments. If the linked account is incorrect or no longer in use, it is important to update it and link it to Aadhaar.

How to check?

Go to the official website of NPCI.
Click on the ‘Customer’ section and then select the ‘Bharat Aadhaar Seeding Enabler (BASE)’ option.
Click on ‘Aadhaar Mapped Status’ option.
Enter your Aadhaar number, captcha code and click on ‘Check Status’.
Enter the OTP sent to the mobile number linked to your Aadhar card.
Your Aadhaar linked bank account, bank name and DBT status will appear on the screen.

How to update details?

If the wrong bank account is linked, it will need to be updated to ensure that Annapurna Bhandar payments are credited to the correct account, according to ClearTax.
Go to the official website of NPCI.
Click on the ‘Customer’ section and then select the ‘Bharat Aadhaar Seeding Enabler (BASE)’ option.
Click on ‘Aadhaar Seeding/Deseeding’ option.
Enter your Aadhaar number and select ‘Seeding’ option to link or update your bank account with Aadhaar.
Select the name of your new bank from the list of banks on the portal.
Select Seeding Type:
If no bank account was linked to Aadhaar earlier, select the ‘Fresh Seeding’ option.
If you want to switch to another account in the same bank, select ‘Movement – Same Bank with Another Account’.
If you want to transfer the bank account linked to Aadhaar to another bank, select ‘Movement – From One Bank to Another Bank’.
Enter the new bank account number and confirm it.
Accept the declaration, enter the captcha code and click on ‘Submit’.
Read the Terms and Conditions and click on ‘Agree and Continue’.
Enter the OTP sent to the mobile number linked to Aadhaar and ‘Confirm’.

Criticism of Application Form

The 12-page application form, in which women have to provide complete information about each family member, has drawn criticism from many quarters, with some alleging that too much documentation could exclude genuine beneficiaries.
