The West Bengal government previously facilitated online applications for the WB Prachesta Prakalpa Scheme 2026 through their official portal, wb.gov.in. This initiative, known as Prachesta, was originally introduced on April 10, 2020, to offer financial support to laborers, daily wage earners, and workers who faced job loss or loss of income due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Eligible individuals were able to access and download the WB Prochesta Prokolpo application form in PDF format directly from the official website.
Laborers, daily wage workers, and individuals in the unorganized sector without a steady income who were experiencing severe financial hardship were eligible to apply. The scheme provided a one-time ex-gratia payment of Rs. 1,000 to each qualified beneficiary. To participate, applicants were required to download the official registration form, fill it out, and submit it to the appropriate designated authorities.
Below, you can find details regarding the offline application process, eligibility requirements, submission locations, and other scheme specifics. The application window for the Prachesta scheme was open from April 15, 2020, to May 15, 2020.
