A monthly credit
The amount people were told to expect is ₹1,500, paid by direct benefit transfer. The bank SMS is the practical proof that a cycle landed.

What is Yuva Sathi? (যুব সাথী)
Banglar Yuva Sathi is a West Bengal allowance for unemployed youth. Public descriptions put the support at ₹1,500 a month, sent to an individual bank account, while the person looks for work.
The idea is narrow. A young person who has finished school can still have bus fare, a phone recharge, and exam fees, and no wage. The allowance was meant to cover that gap. It was not a job, and it was not a loan.
Registration and status sat on one government portal. This website repeats the public outline so it is easier to follow. Your own approved, pending, or rejected result is only on that portal.
| Detail | What has been published |
|---|---|
| Scheme | Banglar Yuva Sathi (যুব সাথী) |
| Who it was for | Unemployed youth in West Bengal |
| Reported amount | ₹1,500 a month by direct bank transfer |
| Age | Often listed as 21 to 40 years |
| Education | Madhyamik (Class 10) or equivalent, as publicly described |
| Duration | Up to five years, or until employment, whichever was stated |
| Applications | The public notice says the online submission window has ended |
| Official portal | yubasathi.wb.gov.in |
For the job search
Public rules described the person as unemployed, with at least a Madhyamik pass, and living in West Bengal.
Checked online
Status, if the portal has the record, is a short form away. There is no charge for that look-up on the government site.

How to check Yuva Sathi status
Use the official portal. This guide does not take your Aadhaar number, bank account, mobile OTP, or registration ID.
On yubasathi.wb.gov.in
- Open the official portal, yubasathi.wb.gov.in, in your browser.
- Choose Application Status, or the status link shown on that homepage.
- Enter the mobile number, registration number, or other detail the portal itself asks for.
- Complete the captcha or OTP on that government page. Never type an OTP into any other site.
- Read the status on the screen. It may say submitted, under verification, approved, or rejected.
If a camp gave you a slip, the registration number on that paper is the most reliable thing to type. A mobile number works only when it is the same number that was written on the form.
| What you see | Likely reason | What to try |
|---|---|---|
| No record found | The number does not match the application, or an offline form is not in the system yet. | Try the registration number from the camp slip, then the help desk. |
| OTP delayed | Network delay, or a different mobile number than the one on the form. | Wait a minute and request it again only on the official portal. |
| Page is slow | Traffic rises around payment dates. | Try again early or late in the day. |
| Captcha fails | A character was misread. | Zoom in and enter it again. |
| Old status | Records are updated in batches. | Check again the next day before assuming a decision. |
03 · Payment
Has the money arrived?
An approved application and a credited installment are two different events. The portal can say approved while that month’s transfer is still in a batch.
| Cycle | What was reported | Amount | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| First cycle | March 2026 was widely reported as the first credit month | ₹1,500 | Confirm the credit in your bank SMS |
| Later cycles | Paid in batches, not to every account on the same minute | ₹1,500 | Use the official portal if a month is missing |
| Yuva Shakti | Discussed publicly as a later scheme. Dates are not confirmed here. | Reported higher amount | Wait for a government notification before applying |
These dates are a reading of public reports, not a payment order. If a month is missing, confirm the account is individual, active, and Aadhaar-seeded, then check the official portal again.
04 · Eligibility
Who the scheme was described for
Fresh applications are not open on the official notice. These are the conditions people were checked against while the window was open.
- Permanent resident of West Bengal
- Age within the band published for the scheme, widely described as 21 to 40
- Unemployed when the application was made
- Madhyamik or an equivalent exam, as described in public notices
- An individual bank account that can receive direct benefit transfer
- Not already drawing another monthly youth allowance from the state
05 · Documents
Papers people were asked to keep
Names should match across every document. A small spelling difference is one of the usual reasons a file stalls.
- Aadhaar, used on the official portal only
- Voter card or another residence proof from West Bengal
- Madhyamik admit card and marksheet
- First page of the bank passbook, or a cancelled cheque
- A recent passport-size photograph and a scanned signature
- Caste certificate where the form asked for one
- A declaration that the applicant was unemployed
Upload or show these only on the official portal or at a government counter. This website has nowhere to send them.
06 · Meanings
What the status words mean
A label other than Approved is not automatically bad news. Read the remark beside it.
| Status | Meaning | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Submitted | The form is in the system and review has not finished. | Wait. No fee can speed this up. |
| Under verification | Staff are checking documents or the bank link. | Look again after a few days. |
| Approved | The record was accepted for payment. | Watch the bank SMS on the next cycle. |
| Payment initiated | A transfer has been sent for processing. | Give the bank a short window, then check the passbook. |
| Rejected | A rule or a document did not match. | Read the remark on the portal before doing anything else. |
07 · Yuva Shakti
Yuva Shakti (যুব শক্তি), the scheme people ask about next
Public reports describe a later youth allowance, sometimes called the Yuva Shakti Bharosa Card, with a higher monthly figure than Yuva Sathi. A dedicated application form has not been confirmed on this site.
Not a rename you can file today
Treat Yuva Shakti as a separate announcement until a government notice says existing Yuva Sathi records move across on their own.
Amounts are still reports
Figures such as ₹2,000 and ₹3,000 have circulated. Use the notification, not a screenshot, before you count on either number.
No unofficial form
A page that says “register for Yuva Shakti here” and asks for Aadhaar is not this guide, and it is not a substitute for the government portal.

09 · If it failed
Common reasons a file is rejected
| Reason | What usually fixes it |
|---|---|
| Name or date of birth differs across documents | Match the spelling to Aadhaar before asking for a correction. |
| Blurry or cropped scans | Replace them only if the official portal allows a re-upload. |
| Age outside the published band | This is a rule, not a clerical fix. |
| Another monthly allowance is already active | Ask the help desk which scheme is on the record. |
| Bank account is joint, dormant, or not Aadhaar-seeded | Visit the bank branch. Direct transfer needs an individual, active, seeded account. |
10 · Help
When the portal is not enough
Start with the number printed on the official portal. The footer of this site repeats the help desk that has been published there, and you can change it in the Customizer if the government updates it.
- Read the notice on yubasathi.wb.gov.in before calling anyone.
- Call the help desk number printed on that portal. Keep the registration number ready.
- Do not share an OTP, bank PIN, or card number with a caller. The help desk does not need them.
- If a document is flagged, take the originals to the block office named on your slip.
- Refuse any request for a fee. Checking status on the official portal is free.
11 · Questions
Frequently asked questions
Where do I check Yuva Sathi status?
On the official portal, yubasathi.wb.gov.in. This guide explains the words you will see. It cannot look up your application.
Does this website ask for Aadhaar, a bank account, or an OTP?
No. Enter those details only on the government portal. Anyone else asking for them is not checking your status.
Can I still apply for Yuva Sathi?
The official portal has said the online submission period has ended. A new window would be announced by the government, not by this site.
What does Pending or Under verification mean?
The form is still being checked. It is not the same as a rejection. Look again after a few days, and read any remark on the portal.
Approved is showing, but the money is not in the account. Why?
Approval and the bank credit are separate steps. Transfers go out in batches. A joint, dormant, or unseeded account can also block the credit.
I applied at a camp. Will that record appear online?
Camp forms were typed in by offices after the event. Search with the registration number on the slip. If it is still missing, use the help desk on the official portal.
Is Yuva Shakti the same scheme?
Public reports describe Yuva Shakti, also called a Bharosa Card, as a later youth allowance. It is not a form you can file on this website.
Is there a charge to check status or to apply?
No. The official portal does not charge a fee. Do not pay a person or a website that offers to process the application for you.
Will this allowance block a future government job?
Nothing in the public scheme description says the allowance itself disqualifies a later job application. Follow the job notice you are applying under.
What if I start working while payments are coming?
The allowance was described as support during unemployment. Update the employment status the way the official portal instructs, so the record stays accurate.
Ready to see the real record?
Take your mobile number or registration ID to the official portal. The status shown there is the one that matters. This page cannot look it up for you.
