Would appreciate if anyone can help.

I have setup Anonymous access on web application level and site level. It works fine on the site main page, site assets and site pages, but access is blocked on all lists.

I have stopped inheretance on the lists and made sure that view access is granted to Anonymous, but to no avail. Still get 403 Forbidden error.

If Publishing is turned on in the site collection check to make sure the Lockdown feature hasn't been enabled.  That feature prevents users from accessing form pages like the ones used for lists.  Take a look here for more information.

Thank you Paul

I did deactivate the feature, but it made no difference.

It seems the solution was to add the "Add item" permission on the lists in addition to the "View Item" permission.
