Official Disclaimer & Legal Notice
This page sets out the terms under which WB Schemes Portal operates as an independent informational resource. Please read this alongside our Privacy Policy before relying on any information from this site.
WB Schemes Portal is an independent, non-governmental public informational initiative created solely for public awareness. We are NOT affiliated with, authorized by, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected to the Government of West Bengal, any municipal corporation, Gram Panchayat, or official state department.
Purpose of This Portal
WB Schemes Portal exists to make West Bengal government welfare scheme information easier to find and understand. Official information is often spread across multiple department websites, each with its own portal, login system, and paperwork requirements. This site brings that information together in plain language, with clear eligibility criteria, benefit amounts, and step-by-step application guidance, sourced from official gazette notifications, government press releases, and departmental portals.
We Are Not a Government Website
WB Schemes Portal is an independent, privately operated informational guide. We are NOT affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or officially associated with the Government of West Bengal, any of its departments, any municipal corporation, or any Panchayat office, in any capacity.
Any resemblance in colour scheme, layout, or terminology to official government branding is coincidental and intended purely to present information in a familiar, accessible format, not to imply official status.
No Financial Transactions or Application Processing
This website does not process scheme applications, collect application fees, issue welfare cards, or handle any financial transaction on behalf of any government scheme. All official applications, payments, and card issuance must be completed directly through the relevant government department's official portal, your local BDO/SDO office, or a Duare Sarkar camp.
If any third party claims to process a West Bengal government scheme application on your behalf through a channel connected to this site, that claim is false, we do not offer or authorise any such service.
Verification Against Official Sources
We research and fact-check every scheme guide against official gazette notifications, government press releases, and departmental portals wherever possible. However, government scheme rules, eligibility criteria, and benefit amounts can change without much public notice, and administrative processes can vary by district. We update our pages as changes are confirmed, but we recommend always verifying critical details, especially exact deadlines and current benefit amounts, directly with the relevant official portal or your local government office before making any decisions based on this information.
We are not liable for any loss, inconvenience, or damage arising from reliance on information found on this site that later turns out to be outdated or inaccurate. We correct reported errors promptly once identified.
No Guarantee of Eligibility or Approval
Information on this site about eligibility criteria is provided for general guidance only. Meeting the criteria described on this site does not guarantee approval for any scheme; final eligibility determination rests entirely with the relevant government department following their own official verification process.
Intellectual Property & Trademarks
