Bhorsa Karmasathi (Yuva Shakti Bharosa) West Bengal 2026: ₹3,000 Monthly Allowance, Eligibility and How to Apply
Lakhs of young people in West Bengal are searching for the ₹3,000 a month allowance for unemployed youth. You may have heard it called Yuva Shakti Bharosa Card, Jubo Shakti, Bhorsha Karmasuchi or Bhorsa Karmasathi. This guide explains what is confirmed, what is still unclear, who may qualify, and how to get your documents ready before applications open. Last reviewed: 29 October 2026.
What is this scheme?
The monthly allowance for unemployed youth was a major promise made by the BJP before the 2026 West Bengal election, under the name Yuva Shakti Bharosa Card. After the party formed the government, the state's first full budget, presented on 22 June 2026, included a ₹3,000 monthly aid for eligible unemployed youth. A business news report names it the Bhorsa Karmasathi Scheme.
It follows the earlier Banglar Yuva Sathi scheme, which paid ₹1,500 a month to registered unemployed youth.
The names, explained
| Name you may see | What it refers to |
|---|---|
| Yuva Shakti Bharosa Card / Yuva Shakti Yojana / Jubo Shakti | The name used in the election promise and by many websites |
| Bhorsa Karmasathi / Bhorsha Karmasuchi | The name reported for the scheme in the state budget |
| Banglar Yuva Sathi | The earlier ₹1,500 scheme |
All of these point to the same idea: a monthly allowance for unemployed young people. Spellings vary between sources, so do not be confused if you see several names.
What is confirmed and what is not
| Point | Status | Details |
|---|---|---|
| ₹3,000 a month for unemployed youth | Reported in budget | Announced in the 22 June 2026 state budget under the name Bhorsa Karmasathi. |
| Different amount for graduates and others | Unclear | Some reports say graduates get ₹3,000 and other eligible youth ₹2,000. Other sources mention only ₹3,000. |

| Income limit | Unclear | Some reports mention a family income under ₹1 lakh a year. Others do not mention any limit. |

Common mistakes to avoid
- Name or date of birth mismatch between Aadhaar, school certificates and bank records. See why government applications get rejected.
- Bank account not linked to Aadhaar, so the money cannot be sent.
- Mobile number not linked to Aadhaar, so the OTP never arrives.
- Blurry or oversized scans.
- Trusting agents or fake portals that promise quick approval for money.
