Yuvasathi Status Check 2026: If you applied under West Bengal’s Banglar Yuva Sathi Prakalpa — often searched as Jubo Sathi or Yuva Sathi — and you’re trying to find out when your money will arrive, there’s something important to know before you check your status again: the scheme has entered a transition period following a change of state government, and the payment rules are shifting along with it.
This guide walks you through how to check your Yuva Sathi application and payment status, what your status result actually means, and — most importantly — what the move to the new Bhorsa Karmasathi Scheme means for your monthly allowance going forward.
What Was the Banglar Yuva Sathi Prakalpa?
Banglar Yuva Sathi Prakalpa (বাংলার যুব সাথী প্রকল্প) was a monthly unemployment allowance announced in West Bengal’s interim budget for 2026–27. It targeted educated youth who had cleared their Madhyamik (Class 10) examination but remained without a job. Registration camps opened across all 294 assembly constituencies from February 15, 2026, and the scheme was formally rolled out on April 1, 2026, with money credited directly into beneficiaries’ Aadhaar-linked bank accounts.
Eligibility for Banglar Yuva Sathi (Original Scheme)
| Criteria | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Residency | Permanent resident of West Bengal |
| Age | 21 to 40 years |
| Education | Passed Madhyamik (Class 10) or equivalent |
| Employment status | Currently unemployed |
| Other benefits | Should not already be receiving assistance under another state social security scheme |
| Monthly amount | ₹1,500 |
| Maximum duration | Up to 5 years, or until employed — whichever is earlier |
| Maximum lifetime benefit | Up to ₹90,000 |
Applications were accepted both offline, through registration camps, and online via the official portal. Reports indicate the application window closed in late February 2026, and it has not reopened for fresh registrations since.
How to Check Your Yuva Sathi Application or Payment Status
If you’ve already submitted an application, you can still check where it stands. Always use the official government portal rather than third-party “instant status checker” tools — only the government’s own database has accurate, real-time records, and entering your Voter ID or Aadhaar details on unfamiliar sites is a risk not worth taking.
- Visit the official Banglar Yuva Sathi portal: yubasathi.wb.gov.in
- Look for the “View Beneficiary Status” or “Check Application Status” section.
- Enter your registered mobile number, Application ID, or Voter ID as requested.
- Submit the form to view your current status on screen.
- Note down your Application ID somewhere safe — you’ll most likely need it again when the new scheme’s portal opens.
If the site feels slow or unresponsive, it’s usually due to heavy traffic. Trying again early in the morning tends to work better.
What Do “Approved,” “Pending,” and “Rejected” Actually Mean?
Approved — Your application cleared verification. Under the scheme’s original structure, this meant payment would follow, subject to the scheme continuing to run.
Pending Verification — Your documents or bank details are still being checked. Usually no action is needed on your end unless you’re specifically asked to resubmit something.
Rejected — Your application didn’t meet the eligibility criteria, or there was a mismatch in submitted information, such as an Aadhaar-bank linking issue. Rejected applicants generally can’t appeal within the old scheme, but may be able to apply fresh once the new scheme’s portal opens.
The Big Change: West Bengal’s 2026 Election and Its Effect on Yuva Sathi
West Bengal held its state assembly election in 2026, and the result marked a major shift in the state’s leadership: the BJP won a majority, ending more than a decade of Trinamool Congress rule, and Suvendu Adhikari was sworn in as the new Chief Minister in early June 2026.
During its campaign, the BJP had promised a bigger unemployment allowance as part of its election manifesto. Once in office, the new government moved to replace the outgoing Yuva Sathi scheme with its own version — which is exactly why the ₹1,500 scheme has stopped accepting new applicants, and why many existing applicants are seeing little movement on their status right now.
Bhorsa Karmasathi Scheme: The New ₹3,000 Monthly Allowance
On June 22, 2026, Finance Minister Swapan Dasgupta presented West Bengal’s first full budget under the new government, formally confirming the Bhorsa Karmasathi Scheme (“Bhorsa” meaning trust) as Yuva Sathi’s successor. Here’s what’s confirmed so far:
- Monthly assistance: ₹3,000 for eligible unemployed youth. (A few early reports mention a split — ₹3,000 for graduates and ₹2,000 for other unemployed applicants — but the final, official criteria are still awaited.)
- Purpose: To support unemployed youth with living costs and skill development while they search for work.
- Mode of payment: Expected to be Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) into bank accounts, similar to the earlier scheme.
What’s still pending: the official application portal, the final eligibility notification, and a confirmed rollout date. Several reports point to implementation from around October 2026, but the government hasn’t published an official start date at the time of writing.

What Should You Do If You Already Applied Under Yuva Sathi?
- Keep your Application ID, registered mobile number, and bank passbook details safe — you’ll most likely need them again.
- Check the official portal periodically rather than trusting unofficial “guaranteed payment date” claims that circulate on social media.
- Watch for an official notification on how existing Yuva Sathi registrations will carry over to Bhorsa Karmasathi — this hasn’t been clarified yet.
- Never share your Aadhaar number, bank details, or OTP with anyone who claims they can “speed up” your status outside the official government portal.
