What is Lakshmi Bhandar Scheme 2021
The State’s monthly average Consumption Expenditure of a household is Rs. 5,249. Providing a monthly income support of Rs. 500 (yearly Rs. 6,000) to General Category households and Rs. 1,000 (yearly ₹12,000) to SC/ST Category households, would account for 10% and 20% of their monthly expenditure respectively. This amount would be directly deposited into bank accounts of 1.6 Crore female heads of the families in West Bengal. It would include every household from SC/ST community.
For General Category, this income support would be provided to all households except those having at least one tax-paying member (42.30 Lakh people) and those owning land more than 2 hectare (2.8 Lakh people). The budget outlay for the scheme would be approximately ₹12,900 Crores every year.

Eligibility of WB Lakshmir Bhandar Scheme
The WB Lakshmir Bhandar Scheme will help 1.6 crore families across the state during the Covid-19 pandemic when opportunities to earn livelihood have shrunk, particularly in rural areas. But it will certainly leave a heavy burden on the exchequer at a time when the West Bengal state’s own revenue generation has suffered a hit. The state government was planning to fix an eligibility criterion, which is likely to be based on a person’s family income, to keep the number of beneficiaries under control.
Implementation of WB Laxmi Bhandar Scheme
The financial condition does not allow the West Bengal state govt. to make the Lakshmir Bhandar Scheme universal like Sabuj Sathi or old age pension. WB state govt. just cannot bring all 2.5 crore families in the state under the Laxmi Bhandar scheme as it will push the financial burden to over Rs 20,000 crore annually. To ensure the smooth implementation of the Lakshmi Bhandar Scheme, government was considering the insertion of an eligibility criterion for women to avail themselves of the monthly doles.
The state government might be forced to cut down allotment of some departments to raise funds for the Lakshmi Bhandar scheme. It is not possible to cut down departmental allocations heavily. So, the state is looking to arrange for funds for the scheme from some other sources too.
Database of Beneficiaries in WB Lakshmir Bhandar Scheme
The WB govt. already has a database of some eligible beneficiaries, which can be readily used to launch the Lakshmir Bhandar scheme. For example, the state has detailed data of 33 lakh women beneficiaries of the social security scheme (Samajik Suraksha Yojana). These beneficiaries can be brought under the direct benefit transfer scheme immediately. For the remaining families, the government could seek applications.
WB Lakshmi Bhandar Scheme would definitely boost the rural economy as a large portion of the Rs. 11,000 crore would be pumped into the beneficiaries respective areas every year.
