West Bengal Social Registry & Social Security Portal

The Government of West Bengal, with support from the World Bank, has established a centralized data infrastructure project to streamline social protection benefits across the state. This initiative integrates multiple Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) welfare schemes to ensure transparent and efficient distribution to eligible families.

For welfare administrative services and application processing, citizens interact with two core portals:

• socialregistry.wb.gov.in – The backend data integration and infrastructure platform.
• socialsecurity.wb.gov.in – The citizen-facing online application and registration portal.

Key Features of the Social Registry Platform

• Unified DBT Portal: Centralizes registration, verification, and disbursement tracking for state welfare programs.
• Trigger Management Platform: Proactively identifies eligible beneficiaries using existing socio-economic data parameters, reducing manual paperwork.
• Secure Financial Transfers: Integrates directly with beneficiary bank accounts through verified Direct Benefit Transfer channels to eliminate leakages.

Featured Welfare Scheme: Annapurna Bhandar (Yojana)
