A woman from Murshidabad had been receiving ₹1,000 every month under Lakshmir Bhandar. In February 2026, her neighbour said the amount had increased to ₹1,500.
She checked her account. Still ₹1,000.
She did not know her Aadhaar bank seeding was pending. The updated amount was stuck in the system.
One visit to the bank — Aadhaar linked — and the next month ₹1,500 arrived.
If your Lakshmir Bhandar (লক্ষ্মীর ভান্ডার) payment has not come, or you are not receiving the updated amount, this guide covers everything — how to check status, why payment gets stuck, and what to do.

What Your Status Means
| Status | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Approved / Active | ✅ Eligible — payment processing | Check bank account |
| Pending Verification | Documents being verified | Wait or visit local office |
| Payment Done | ✅ Amount credited to bank | Update passbook |
| Rejected | Application rejected | See reason, re-apply or appeal |
| Aadhaar Seeding Pending | Bank-Aadhaar not linked | Visit bank immediately |
| Reverted / Faulty | Data mismatch | Visit local BDO/Municipality office |
Why Payment is Not Coming — Common Reasons
Reason 1: Aadhaar Not Linked to Bank Account
The most common reason. Amount is approved but cannot be transferred because Aadhaar is not seeded with your bank account.
Fix: Visit your bank branch. Say — “আমার আধার কার্ড ব্যাংক অ্যাকাউন্টের সাথে লিঙ্ক করুন” (Link my Aadhaar to bank account). This is free and takes 10 minutes.
Reason 2: Updated Amount (₹1,500) Not Reflecting
Budget 2026-27 mein amount badhaya gaya — but your Aadhaar-bank seeding must be active for the increased amount to transfer.
Fix: Confirm Aadhaar seeding at bank → next payment cycle mein updated amount aayega.
Reason 3: Name Mismatch Between Aadhaar and Application
Even one letter difference causes payment failure.
Fix: Visit your local BDO Office (Block Development Office) or Municipality office for name correction.
Reason 4: Swasthya Sathi Enrollment Lapsed
Lakshmir Bhandar requires active Swasthya Sathi (স্বাস্থ্যসাথী) enrollment.
Fix: Check Swasthya Sathi status at swasthyasathi.gov.in — renew if expired.
Reason 5: Application Marked as “Reverted” or “Faulty”
Incorrect data entry during registration causes reversion.
Fix: Visit your local BDO/Municipality office with original documents for data correction.
