Form Fill-Up FAQs
Everything you need to know about West Bengal Annapurna Bhandar Scheme 2026.
Can I use whitener or liquid fluid on the form if I make a spelling mistake?▾
No! Whitener or correction fluid is strictly prohibited and leads to immediate form cancellation during digital scanning at the BDO office. If you make a major mistake, request a fresh replacement form from the camp counter.
Should I write in English or Bengali script on the physical form?▾
Personal names, bank IFSC, and account numbers must be printed in BLOCK ENGLISH LETTERS to facilitate database OCR and bank clearing. Address details may be filled in Bengali or English.
Can someone else sign the form on my behalf?▾
No. The primary female applicant must sign personally or affix her left-hand thumb impression (LTI) in blue or black stamp ink in the presence of the camp officer.
What color pen should be used to complete the form?▾
Use a black or blue ballpoint pen only. Avoid gel pens, ink pens, or pencil, as ink may smudge during document transport and flatbed scanner feeding.
How should the applicant's photograph be attached to the form?▾
Paste one recent passport-sized photograph (taken within the last 6 months against a light background) firmly in the top-right box using adhesive glue. Do not staple through the face. Attach a second photo with a paperclip.
What is the correct way to write the 11-digit bank IFSC code?▾
Write the 11 characters clearly in block capitals. Note that the 5th character of every Indian bank IFSC is always the digit ZERO (0), never the alphabet 'O'.
Do I need to fill the Swasthya Sathi section if my card is not yet generated?▾
If your family Swasthya Sathi card is under process, enter your provisional 17-digit URN acknowledgment number and attach the camp receipt slip.
Where is the stamped counterfoil located on the form?▾
The acknowledgment receipt (counterfoil) is located at the bottom of the last page. The camp officer stamps it, notes your 16-digit Application ID, and returns it to you immediately upon receipt.
