SamarthGuide Editorial Team
We research, write and fact-check every guide on SamarthGuide. Our focus is one subject: helping West Bengal residents understand the Samarth Portal and social pension processes, safely and in plain language.
Who we are
The SamarthGuide Editorial Team is a small independent group of researchers and writers. We are not government employees and we do not speak for any department. We write as careful readers of public information, and we show our sources so you can check our work.
What we cover
- How the official Samarth Portal works, and how to reach it safely
- Login, status, beneficiary and payment information on the portal
- West Bengal social pension schemes, eligibility and documents
- Avoiding fake websites and pension fraud
How we research each guide
- Start from the official portalWe open samarth.wb.gov.in and record what is visible on that date.
- Confirm scheme facts with government listingsEligibility details come from myScheme (Government of India) and state department websites.
- Label secondary informationIf only an independent source describes something, the page says “reported”.
- Leave out what we cannot confirmWe do not publish pension amounts, payment dates or helpline numbers without an official source.
- Review and updateCore guides are reviewed at least every three months, and sooner when readers report a change.
Sources we rely on
- Samarth Portal, Government of West Bengal
- myScheme, Government of India
- Finance Department, Government of West Bengal
- Government of West Bengal portal
- National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal
