when i try to submit annapurna bhandar form it says its already been submitted but i have not submitted it
This usually happens when the portal has already created a record for your details, even if you did not finish the form yourself. The safest next step is to not submit a fresh application again and instead get the record checked through the local office or support channel.
What may be happening
- Someone may have entered your Aadhaar, mobile number, or other details earlier, so the system thinks an application already exists.
- The form may have been saved or finalized on a previous attempt, leaving the status as submitted.
- In some cases, portals lock the application after submission, so the only fix is an official correction request rather than a new entry.
What to do now
- Keep your temporary application ID, Aadhaar, ration card, bank passbook, and any submission proof ready.
- Visit the nearest BDO or SDO office and explain that the portal says the form is already submitted, but you never completed it yourself.
- Ask them to search the record and verify whether an application exists under your details.
- If it was wrongly created, request correction or cancellation through the official channel.
- Do not create duplicate applications, because that can make verification more difficult.
If you suspect fraud
If you did not enter the form at all, there is a small chance someone else used your information. In that case, ask the office to check the linked mobile number, Aadhaar, and bank details, and request that the application be traced and verified.
Useful wording
You can say: “The portal shows my Annapurna Bhandar form as already submitted, but I have not submitted it myself. Please check whether a record exists under my details and help me correct it.”
TL;DR: Don’t resubmit. Take your documents to the local BDO/SDO office and ask them to verify, correct, or cancel the existing record if it was created by mistake.
