	+	<WRAP info>Direct answer. Visit resident.uidai.gov.in/check-aadhaar-status → enter your 14-digit Enrolment ID (EID) + date and time + captcha → get current status (Generated / Pending / Rejected). For an update request, enter the 14-digit SRN at myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in. UIDAI's SLA is 90 days for new enrolment, 30 days for updates.</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== Quick facts =====
	+	\| What you need \| 14-digit EID (new enrolment) OR 14-digit SRN (update) \|
	+	\| Official portal — new \| [[https://resident.uidai.gov.in/check-aadhaar-status\|resident.uidai.gov.in/check-aadhaar-status]] \|
	+	\| Official portal — update \| [[https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in\|myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in]] \|
	+	\| Mobile app \| mAadhaar (Android/iOS) — show e-Aadhaar offline \|
	+	\| SLA — new enrolment \| 90 days (UIDAI Enrolment Regulations 2016) \|
	+	\| SLA — update \| 30 days for online updates \|
	+	\| Helpline \| 1947 (toll-free, 7 am – 11 pm, Hindi/English/regional) \|
	+	\| Statutory base \| Aadhaar Act 2016 + UIDAI Enrolment Regulations 2016 \|
	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Find your EID/SRN: it's on the receipt slip you got at the enrolment centre. Format: 14-digit number / date / time (e.g., 1234/56789/01234 25/04/2026 14:30).
	+	- For new enrolment status: go to [[https://resident.uidai.gov.in/check-aadhaar-status\|the status portal]]. Enter EID + captcha.
	+	- For update SRN status: go to [[https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in\|myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in]] → Check Update Status → enter SRN.
	+	- If status is "Generated" — download e-Aadhaar from the same portal (free; needs OTP on registered mobile).
	+	- If status is "In Progress" — wait. UIDAI updates every few days.
	+	- If status is "Rejected" — note the rejection reason. Common: biometric mismatch, incorrect demographic data, document mismatch. Re-enrol at any UIDAI centre with corrected details.
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Priya, a 24-year-old MBA student in Pune, applied for an Aadhaar update to change her surname after marriage. SRN status said "In Process" for 119 days. She filed an RTI to UIDAI Bengaluru Regional Office asking (a) SRN current stage, (b) reason for delay beyond 30-day SLA, (c) officer in charge, (d) document deficiency notices issued, (e) projected completion. Reply in 26 days flagged a marriage-certificate format issue she could fix online. Update completed in 9 days after re-upload.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Biometric quality flag — finger/iris capture marked "low quality" by UIDAI back-end. Fix: re-enrol at any UIDAI centre with fresh biometrics.
	+	* Document mismatch — your name on PAN/passport doesn't exactly match the form. UIDAI is strict about full vs initials.
	+	* Quality control hold — 1-2% of enrolments are randomly QC-held. Fix: file an RTI with SRN; usually clears.
	+	* Demographic mismatch with existing Aadhaar — you may already have an Aadhaar under a different EID and didn't know. Fix: 1947 helpline can search by demographic.
	+	* Linked-mobile issue — OTP fails so e-Aadhaar download fails. Fix: visit a centre to update mobile.
	+	* Incomplete update package — you submitted address change but proof of address was rejected. Fix: re-submit with valid %%PoA%%.
	+	* Operator error at enrolment centre — captured wrong data. Common in busy enrolment hours. Fix: re-enrolment + RTI to the centre operator.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* Use Order Aadhaar Reprint (Rs. 50) instead of waiting for status — gets a physical card delivered in 5-7 days.
	+	* The mAadhaar app stores up to 5 family Aadhaars and works offline once downloaded — no need to wait for "physical card".
	+	* To verify your Aadhaar is active and unmasked, use the %%eKYC%% verification at any bank/post office — instant.
	+	* Lost your EID receipt? Visit a UIDAI centre with mobile + ID — they can retrieve via demographic search; saves the re-enrol fee.
	+	* If 1947 helpline is busy, %%WhatsApp%% UIDAI on 9311471234 — official channel, often faster reply.

	+	* Q: How long does Aadhaar enrolment take? — 90 days max per UIDAI regulations. Most generate in 2-4 weeks.
	+	* Q: Can I get my Aadhaar number via SMS? — Yes — SMS "GETAADHAARNO" + your EID number to 1947 from your registered mobile.
	+	* Q: Is there a fee to check status? — No, all status checks are free. Only Order Aadhaar Reprint (Rs. 50) and biometric updates (Rs. 100) cost.
	+	* Q: What if my mobile is no longer accessible? — Visit the nearest UIDAI Aadhaar Seva Kendra with original ID — they can update mobile after biometric verification (Rs. 50).
	+	* Q: Is Aadhaar mandatory for everything? — No — Supreme Court (Puttaswamy 2018) limited mandatory Aadhaar to PAN linkage, IT Act notified services, and welfare scheme delivery. For most private services, Aadhaar is optional.

	+
	+	<WRAP info>Direct answer. Visit beneficiary.nha.gov.in → enter mobile number → OTP → check eligibility status. Eligible families can download e-card. Search by Aadhaar / name + state. PMJAY covers up to Rs. 5 lakh per family per year for secondary + tertiary care at empanelled hospitals.</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== Quick facts =====

	+	\| Beneficiary portal \| [[https://beneficiary.nha.gov.in\|beneficiary.nha.gov.in]] \|

	+	\| Email \| webmaster@nha.gov.in \|
	+	\| Statutory base \| PMJAY Operational Guidelines 2018; SECC 2011 base \|
	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Visit beneficiary.nha.gov.in → Login → enter Mobile Number → OTP.
	+	- Search by Aadhaar OR Name + Father's Name + State OR Ration Card Number.
	+	- If eligible, your family's details show with Rs. 5 lakh coverage indicator.
	+	- Click Download e-Card — PDF with Aadhaar-OTP-protected card.
	+	- For hospital admission: present e-card or PMJAY ID to the Pradhan Mantri Aarogya Mitra at the empanelled hospital. Cashless treatment via TPA.
	+	- For claim status post-discharge: ask hospital for the claim ID. State Health Agency (SHA) tracks claims; typical settlement 30-90 days.
	+	- If not in eligibility list, check State Health Agency for additional state-only schemes (Mukhyamantri Jan Arogya, etc.).
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Geeta, a 38-year-old domestic worker in Mumbai, took her father (heart attack) to a PMJAY-empanelled hospital. Hospital claimed her father wasn't eligible despite SECC inclusion. Discharge bill: Rs. 1.4 lakh. She filed an RTI to State Health Agency Maharashtra under §6 asking (a) father's eligibility status, (b) hospital empanelment criteria, (c) why pre-auth was rejected, (d) appeal mechanism. Reply in 24 days confirmed eligibility and revealed hospital had wrongly classified the case as "non-emergency". Reimbursement of Rs. 1.2 lakh processed in 35 days.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Not in SECC 2011 — primary eligibility base. Some states added post-SECC categories (e.g., Maharashtra added construction workers). Check state-specific.
	+	* Aadhaar-mobile mismatch — family verification fails. Fix: link Aadhaar with mobile via UIDAI.
	+	* Hospital not empanelled for that procedure — check hospitals.pmjay.gov.in for procedure-wise list.
	+	* Pre-authorisation rejected — hospital didn't submit pre-auth on time, or TPA rejected. Fix: appeal via SHA.
	+	* Treatment not in PMJAY package list — only listed procedures covered (1,800+ packages). Check at hospitals.pmjay.gov.in.
	+	* Annual cap reached — Rs. 5 lakh/family/year used up. Reset on April 1.
	+	* Migration / cross-state — PMJAY allows portability (treatment in any state with home-state card), but some hospitals don't recognise portability. RTI for SHA portability policy.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* ABHA ID (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) is a separate health-record ID — different from PMJAY. Get free at abha.abdm.gov.in.
	+	* Pradhan Mantri Aarogya Mitra (PMAM) at every empanelled hospital — they verify eligibility + pre-auth on the spot. Always go to PMAM first.
	+	* Reimbursement (post-payment) claims are possible if you paid first — file with SHA within 30 days of discharge with all bills + hospital empanelment proof.
	+	* State top-ups — Maharashtra, Punjab, MP add their own state schemes layered on PMJAY (e.g., Maharashtra MJPJAY adds Rs. 1.5 L extra). Check state-specific.
	+	* Senior Citizens (70+) — universal coverage announced 2024; no SECC requirement. Apply at beneficiary.nha.gov.in.

	+	* Q: How to check if I'm eligible without going online? — Call 14555 with your Aadhaar number — they'll check and confirm.
	+	* Q: Is treatment fully cashless? — Yes for empanelled hospitals on listed packages. Some non-package items (specific imports, super-luxury room) may have co-pay.
	+	* Q: What if my hospital demands payment? — Refuse + insist on PMAM contact. If they still insist, file complaint with SHA + RTI for hospital empanelment terms.
	+	* Q: Is dental and OPD covered? — OPD generally NOT covered. Dental only for accident-related, not routine. Mental health limited.
	+	* Q: Senior citizens 70+ — what to do? — Universal coverage announced 2024. Apply at beneficiary.nha.gov.in with Aadhaar; no SECC requirement.

	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Sumitra, a 33-year-old mother in rural Madhya Pradesh, gave birth at home in 2023. She tried to register the birth 8 months later. Initial application was lost. She filed an RTI to Municipal Registrar asking for application receipt + registration status + late-registration procedure. Reply in 18 days walked her through Form 1 + Rs. 25 late fee + sworn affidavit. Birth certificate issued in 21 days. Used the certificate for school admission.

	+	* Spelling errors — correction via Form 8 (typically 30 days).
	+	* Hospital report (Form 4) missing — discharge summary not submitted by hospital. Fix: get it from hospital + submit.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* Universal birth registration is free within 21 days. Late registration has nominal fees.
	+	* RBD (Amendment) Act 2023 mandates digital register — death and birth records now centrally databased.
	+	* Aadhaar enrollment for newborn — possible from birth (with parents' Aadhaar). Helps for school admission, health insurance.
	+	* Insurance / inheritance / school admission / passport — all need birth certificate. Get it within 21 days.

	+
	+	<WRAP info>Direct answer. Visit cghs.gov.in → Login → enter Beneficiary ID OR mobile. CGHS covers central government employees, pensioners, and dependents — currently in 75 cities + select towns. Card is mandatory for cashless treatment at empanelled hospitals.</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== Quick facts =====
	+	\| What you need \| Beneficiary ID OR mobile + DOB \|
	+	\| Official portal \| [[https://cghs.gov.in\|cghs.gov.in]] / [[https://cghs.nic.in\|cghs.nic.in]] \|

	+	\| Email \| web.dghs-mohfw@nic.in \|
	+	\| Statutory base \| CGHS Manual + %%MoHFW%% directives \|
	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Visit cghs.gov.in → Beneficiary Login → enter ID + password.
	+	- Status shows: Card Active, Validity, Family Members, Empanelled Hospitals near you.
	+	- Download digital CGHS card.
	+	- For empanelled hospital list: cghs.gov.in → Empanelled Hospitals → select city → list with categorization (general, specialty, super-specialty).
	+	- For claim status (reimbursement): visit Additional Director (AD) office of your city; track via My CGHS app.
	+	- For new card application: visit nearest CGHS Wellness Centre with %%HoO%% (Head of Office) sponsored Form 1.
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Ms. Devi, a 71-year-old central govt pensioner in Hyderabad, lost her CGHS card. Tried to apply for replacement; status said "Pending verification" for 47 days. She filed an RTI to AD-CGHS Hyderabad asking application status + officer-in-charge + reason for delay. Reply in 23 days revealed her %%HoO%% endorsement was missing (DD signature pending). She got endorsement; replacement card issued in 12 days.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* %%HoO%% endorsement missing — for new/replacement cards. Fix: get %%HoO%% Form 1 signed.
	+	* Family addition issue — newborn/spouse not in card. Fix: separate addition application.
	+	* City transfer — moved to new city; old card invalid. Fix: transfer application via CGHS Wellness Centre.
	+	* Empanelment change — your usual hospital de-empanelled. Fix: check current list; switch hospitals.
	+	* Claim rejection — wrong package, missing pre-auth. Fix: appeal via AD-CGHS.
	+	* Annual subscription unpaid for pensioners — Rs. 1,000-3,000/year. Fix: pay online at cghs.gov.in.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* My CGHS app lets you book OPD appointments at Wellness Centres + see medical history + track claims.
	+	* Empanelment changes every 3-6 months — check before going to a hospital. Some big private hospitals (Apollo, Fortis, Max) regularly empanel/de-empanel.
	+	* Pre-authorisation required for non-emergency hospitalisation > Rs. 50,000. Get it via CGHS Wellness Centre or directly from hospital's CGHS desk.
	+	* Cashless not available? — pay first + claim reimbursement via Form Med-97 within 6 months. Approval typically 60-180 days.
	+	* Generic medicine substitution — CGHS dispensaries push generics; if you need branded, get specific prescription from CGHS doctor.

	+
	+	====== How to check cybercrime complaint status (NCRP) — National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (2026) ======
	+
	+	{{page>snippets:dpdp-banner}}
	+
	+	<WRAP info>Direct answer. Visit cybercrime.gov.in → Track Your Complaint → enter acknowledgment ID. For financial fraud (UPI/banking): dial 1930 within 24 hours of fraud — police can freeze the receiving account fast. Cybercrime complaint status updated as: Submitted → Assigned to Cyber Cell → Under Investigation → Resolved/Closed.</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== Quick facts =====
	+	\| What you need \| Acknowledgment ID from complaint receipt \|
	+	\| Official portal \| [[https://cybercrime.gov.in\|cybercrime.gov.in]] (NCRP) \|
	+	\| Financial fraud \| 1930 (24/7 toll-free) — call within 24 hours \|
	+	\| Mobile app \| Cybercrime (Android — for reporting) \|
	+	\| SLA \| 15-30 days for complaint acknowledgment + assignment \|
	+	\| Helpline \| 1930 (financial) · 155260 (cybercrime general) \|
	+	\| Email \| helpline@cybercrime.gov.in \|
	+	\| Statutory base \| IT Act 2000 + 2008 amendment \|
	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Visit cybercrime.gov.in → Track Your Complaint.
	+	- Enter acknowledgment ID + mobile/email used.
	+	- Status shows current stage: Submitted → Assigned → Under Investigation → Closed.
	+	- For financial fraud: in addition to NCRP, file with bank within 3 days for full liability protection (RBI 2017 framework).
	+	- Track money-recovery via I4C (Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre) updates.
	+	- For state-level cyber cell complaints: each state has its own portal too (e.g., Maharashtra Cyber).
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Pradeep, a 45-year-old businessman in Pune, lost Rs. 2.8 lakh to a UPI scam (impersonator pretending to be his bank manager). He called 1930 within 4 hours and filed online complaint at cybercrime.gov.in. Status said "Under Investigation" for 41 days with no recovery update. He filed an RTI to Cyber Cell Pune asking complaint status + money-trail freeze status + recovery process. Reply in 26 days revealed Rs. 1.8 lakh had been frozen at the receiving bank but recovery proceedings hadn't started. He pushed via state Lokayukta + courts; recovered Rs. 1.6 lakh in 4 months.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Wrong category selected — system can't route correctly. Fix: re-file under correct category (Women/Children, Financial, Other).
	+	* Insufficient evidence — screenshots, transaction details missing. Fix: attach all via portal.
	+	* Police didn't register FIR — convert online complaint to FIR via §156(3) magistrate complaint.
	+	* Cross-jurisdiction issue — fraudster in different state. Fix: I4C coordinates; or file in fraudster's jurisdiction.
	+	* Account-freeze missed 24-hour window — recovery becomes harder. Fix: still file; partial recovery possible.
	+	* Same-day filing at bank vs NCRP — inconsistency. Bank gets priority for liability protection (RBI rules).
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* 1930 within 24 hours of fraud is the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT step — police can freeze receiver bank account if reported fast. Recovery rate drops dramatically after 24 hours.
	+	* Sakhi One Stop Centre (181) — for women victims of cyber harassment.
	+	* Bank liability under RBI 2017 framework: for unauthorized transactions, bank is liable for full amount IF you report within 3 working days.
	+	* FIR vs online complaint: NCRP complaint is NOT a FIR. For FIR, escalate to local PS or §156(3) magistrate complaint.
	+	* Crypto fraud / NFT scams — file at NCRP under "Other Cybercrime"; specialized cells in major cities.
	+
	+	===== Helpline + contact =====
	+	NCRP: 1930 (financial 24/7) · 155260 (general) · helpline@cybercrime.gov.in · State cyber cells (e.g., Maharashtra Cyber: 7058999999)

	+	* Q: How to convert NCRP complaint to FIR? — Visit local PS with NCRP acknowledgment + evidence; if PS refuses, file §156(3) magistrate complaint.
	+	* Q: Anonymous reporting? — Yes — NCRP allows anonymous complaints (lower priority but accepted).
	+	* Q: Is online complaint legally same as FIR? — No — NCRP is a complaint registration; FIR requires PS registration under %%CrPC%% §154.
	+	* Q: Bank refused refund despite 3-day report — what now? — Banking Ombudsman complaint at rbi.org.in/Scripts/bs_viewcontent.aspx?Id=2333; mandatory pre-litigation step.

	+
	+	====== How to check driving licence status — Sarathi Parivahan + state RTO portals (2026) ======
	+
	+	{{page>snippets:dpdp-banner}}
	+
	+	<WRAP info>Direct answer. Visit sarathi.parivahan.gov.in → Driving Licence → Application Status. Enter Application Number + Date of Birth. State-specific portals also work (e.g., transport.delhi.gov.in for Delhi, transport.mh.gov.in for Maharashtra). DL SLA: 30 days post test (Central Motor Vehicles Rules 14-15).</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== Quick facts =====
	+	\| What you need \| Application Number from RTO receipt + DOB \|
	+	\| Central portal \| [[https://sarathi.parivahan.gov.in\|sarathi.parivahan.gov.in]] \|
	+	\| mParivahan app \| Android/iOS — DL details + e-DL \|
	+	\| SLA \| 30 days post driving test \|
	+	\| Smart card SLA \| 15-30 days post-approval \|
	+	\| Helpline \| 1800-180-2580 (Parivahan toll-free) \|
	+	\| Email \| helpdesk-mort@gov.in \|
	+	\| Statutory base \| Motor Vehicles Act 1988 + CMV Rules 1989 §14-15 \|
	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Find your Application Number on the RTO receipt — typically format starts with state code (DL/MH/TN/etc.) followed by digits.
	+	- Visit sarathi.parivahan.gov.in → Driving Licence → Application Status.
	+	- Enter Application Number + DOB + captcha. Status shows current stage.
	+	- For smart-card status: same portal → Print/Track Smart Card → enter DL number.
	+	- For e-DL (digital format) — use mParivahan app: log in with mobile + Aadhaar OTP → e-DL stored offline.
	+	- For renewal: same portal → Apply Online → Driving Licence Renewal. Done online for valid DL holders (no RTO visit).
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Vivek, a 22-year-old delivery rider from Chennai, took his driving test on 12 March 2024. By 28 May, his DL status said "Approved" but no smart card arrived. He filed an RTI to RTO Chennai South under §6 asking (a) approval date, (b) smart card despatch date, (c) printing/dispatch officer details, (d) reason for delay beyond 30-day SLA, (e) projected delivery. Reply in 22 days flagged that his card had been printed but stuck at the dispatch warehouse. Card delivered 11 days later via Speed Post.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Test result not synced — instructor entered result late or marked incorrectly. Fix: re-test booking via portal.
	+	* Document mismatch — name on PAN/Aadhaar doesn't match Form 1A. Fix: gazette + re-submit.
	+	* Photo/signature issue — captured incorrectly at RTO. Fix: re-visit RTO for photo update.
	+	* Medical certificate missing for commercial DL or 50+ age. Fix: get Form 1A signed by registered medical practitioner.
	+	* Address proof rejected — utility bill > 1 month old. Fix: latest gas bill, voter ID, municipal property tax.
	+	* Returned undelivered — postman couldn't deliver smart card. Fix: re-arrange via mParivahan app.
	+	* Smart card stuck at printing — printing centre delay. RTI for printing-queue position.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* e-DL via mParivahan app is legally equivalent to physical smart card under MV (Amendment) Act 2019 §131. You don't need to wait for the physical card to drive.
	+	* International Driving Permit (IDP) issued at RTO in 1-7 days for short-term overseas driving. Valid for 1 year. Carry alongside Indian DL.
	+	* DL renewal can be done up to 1 year before expiry — recommended to avoid grace-period issues. Online renewal possible.
	+	* Adding licence categories (e.g., adding HMV to LMV) requires fresh test for the new category. Don't skip — driving without correct category can void insurance.
	+	* Lost DL — apply via Sarathi portal for duplicate (Rs. 200 + Rs. 200 smart card). FIR not mandatory but advisable.

	+	* Q: What if my DL expired during a state of emergency (COVID, etc.)? — Govt typically extends grace via official notification. Check Parivahan portal for current grace policy.

	+
	+	====== How to check EPF balance + claim status (2026 — 5 official methods) ======
	+
	+	{{page>snippets:dpdp-banner}}
	+
	+	<WRAP info>Direct answer. Open passbook.epfindia.gov.in, log in with your UAN + password, click View Passbook for the relevant PF number — your balance + employer-month-wise contributions appear. For claim status: same UAN portal → Online Services → Track Claim Status. Or give a missed call to 9966044425 from your UAN-registered mobile. EPFO's service-level agreement (SLA) is 20 working days for claim disposal.</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== Quick facts =====
	+	\| What you need \| UAN (Universal Account Number) + Aadhaar-linked mobile \|
	+	\| Official portal \| [[https://passbook.epfindia.gov.in\|passbook.epfindia.gov.in]] \|
	+	\| Mobile app \| Umang app (Google Play / App Store) → EPFO services \|
	+	\| Missed call \| 9966044425 (free, instant SMS reply) \|
	+	\| SMS \| EPFOHO UAN ENG to 7738299899 (English; replace ENG with HIN/MAR/etc.) \|
	+	\| Claim SLA \| 20 working days from submission \|

	+	\| Statutory base \| Employees' Provident Fund Scheme 1952 + EPF & MP Act 1952 \|
	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Get your UAN from your salary slip OR ask HR. UAN is 12 digits.
	+	- Visit [[https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in\|unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in]] and click Activate UAN (one-time, requires Aadhaar OTP).
	+	- Log in to [[https://passbook.epfindia.gov.in\|passbook.epfindia.gov.in]] with UAN + password.
	+	- Click View Passbook for your PF account (multiple if you switched jobs). Each entry shows month, employer contribution, employee contribution, balance.
	+	- For claim status: go back to main portal → Online Services → Track Claim Status. You see Form-19 (final settlement), Form-10C (pension withdrawal), Form-31 (advance) status.
	+	- Download passbook PDF for records (top right of passbook view).
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Ramesh, a 39-year-old IT employee from Bengaluru, switched jobs in 2024 and noticed his old PF account was not transferring. His Form-13 transfer claim sat at "Under Process" for 47 days. He filed an RTI under §6 to the EPFO Regional Office Bengaluru asking (a) date of receipt of Form-13, (b) officer-in-charge, (c) reason for delay beyond 20-day SLA, (d) projected disposal date. Reply in 28 days revealed the file was held up by missing employer attestation. He chased his old HR; transfer completed in 11 days.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* UAN not Aadhaar-seeded — most common; without seeding, EPFO holds claims indefinitely. Fix: log in → Manage → KYC → upload Aadhaar.
	+	* Bank account name mismatch with EPFO records (e.g., Aadhaar has full name, bank has initials). Fix: Manage → KYC → Bank → re-upload + re-verify.
	+	* Employer not attested Form-13/Form-19 — EPFO can't process without employer signature. Fix: chase HR; if employer is defunct, file Form-19 directly with affidavit.
	+	* Mobile not registered with UAN — OTPs fail, claim cannot be submitted. Fix: Manage → Contact Details → update.
	+	* Old claim is "Available for online claim" but blocked by missing exit date — employer hasn't marked your exit. Fix: ask HR to update via Employer Portal; if no response, file RTI.
	+	* PAN not linked when claim amount > Rs. 50,000 — TDS deduction kicks in but PAN missing. Fix: link PAN under Manage → KYC.
	+	* Wrong claim form filed — used Form-19 when Form-31 (advance) was needed. Fix: cancel + re-file correct form.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* Missed call to 9966044425 is the fastest way to know your latest balance — no login needed, instant SMS reply.
	+	* Use the Umang app for Aadhaar-OTP-based claims (no employer signature needed for UAN-Aadhaar-Bank-PAN-linked accounts).
	+	* If your old employer is uncooperative, file Form-19 with Form-19 (UAN) + cancelled cheque + Aadhaar + PAN + 1-page declaration directly with EPFO regional office. Aadhaar OTP authenticates.
	+	* Check passbook weekly during the 1st year of a new job — many employers deposit PF irregularly; catching short-credits early is easier.
	+	* For pension (Form-10C) after 10 years of service, you can either withdraw or convert to scheme certificate (preserves continuity) — most don't know the certificate option.
	+
	+	===== Helpline + contact =====

	+
	+	===== If status is delayed beyond SLA — file an RTI =====

	+	The official SLA on this service is published. If your status is stuck beyond it, you have a statutory right under §6 RTI Act 2005 to demand information from the public authority. Reply mandatory in 30 days.
	+
	+	File an RTI to: //EPFO Regional PIO (your jurisdiction)//
	+
	+	Ask these 5 questions:
	+
	+	- date Form-XX was received
	+	- officer currently holding the file
	+	- reason for delay beyond 20-day SLA
	+	- whether KYC issues flagged

	+
	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	* Q: How long does an EPF claim take? — 20 working days per EPFO SLA. In practice, fully-Aadhaar-linked claims via Umang process in 7-10 days; non-linked claims take 30-60 days.
	+	* Q: What if my UAN is not active? — Activate at unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in with mobile OTP. If you don't know your UAN, ask HR or check any salary slip — it's 12 digits.
	+	* Q: Can I withdraw EPF without resigning? — Yes, partial advances under specific heads — illness, education, marriage, home purchase, etc. Use Form-31 via Umang. Limits vary by reason.
	+	* Q: Why is TDS deducted on my EPF claim? — TDS @10% (with PAN) or 30% (without PAN) applies if continuous service is < 5 years and amount > Rs. 50,000.
	+	* Q: My pension contribution is showing zero, why? — EPS pension contribution caps at Rs. 1,250/month (8.33% of Rs. 15,000 ceiling). For higher-wage employees, employer contributes only this fixed amount unless joint option is exercised.

	+	- For new registration: same portal → Self Registration → Aadhaar OTP → fill occupation + bank → card generated instantly.
	+	- PMSBY auto-enrollment confirmed via Insurance section of dashboard.
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Ravi, a 34-year-old construction worker in Delhi, registered for e-Shram in 2022. After a workplace accident in 2024 (broken leg), he tried to claim PMSBY but the bank said his policy was inactive. He filed an RTI to State Welfare Department asking PMSBY enrollment status + reason for inactivation. Reply in 19 days flagged that his bank account had been dormant > 1 year, auto-deactivating PMSBY. He revived the account; PMSBY auto-renewed; partial-disability claim of Rs. 1 lakh processed within 60 days.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Aadhaar-mobile mismatch — OTP fails. Fix: visit UIDAI centre.
	+	* Bank account dormant — auto-deactivates PMSBY. Fix: regular small transactions.
	+	* EPFO/ESIC member — automatically excluded as "organised worker". Fix: surrender e-Shram if you join formal sector.
	+	* Government employee / income tax payer — disqualifies. Fix: not eligible.
	+	* Occupation code wrong — selected wrong category. Fix: update via portal.
	+	* Date of birth issue — system error. Fix: re-attempt with corrected DOB.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* PMSBY (accident insurance) auto-enrolls every e-Shram cardholder — Rs. 2 lakh death/permanent disability, Rs. 1 lakh partial disability — premium is FREE for first year.
	+	* No documents needed — only Aadhaar + mobile + bank. No income/occupation proof.
	+	* Migration tracking — e-Shram lets you log inter-state movement, which builds case for portable welfare benefits.
	+	* State welfare schemes layer on e-Shram — Maharashtra Bandhkam Kamgar Welfare Board, Tamil Nadu Tholilalar Nala Vaariyam — all extend additional benefits to e-Shram holders.
	+	* 38 crore registered as of 2026 — making e-Shram one of India's largest social security databases.

	+	* Q: Is there any premium? — No — completely free, including PMSBY (which costs Rs. 12/year for general public).

	+	* Documents incomplete — proof of address, identity, NOC from premises owner. Fix: re-submit.
	+	* Wrong category selected — Basic vs State vs Central based on turnover. Re-apply correctly.
	+	* Premises not ready for inspection — sanitation/storage issues. Fix: rectify before re-inspection.
	+	* Renewal missed — late renewal not allowed; fresh application needed. Fix: file fresh.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* Basic Registration (turnover ≤ Rs. 12 lakh) takes only 7 days, no inspection. Most micro-businesses use this.
	+	* State Licence (Rs. 12 lakh - 20 cr turnover) needs inspection — typically 30-60 days.
	+	* Central Licence (above Rs. 20 cr OR e-commerce / multi-state operations) — 60-90 days.
	+	* Display FSSAI number on your packaging mandatorily — non-compliance attracts penalties.
	+	* Annual returns (Form D-1 + D-2) mandatory by 31 May each year — even nil returns. Penalty Rs. 100/day for late.
	+
	+	===== Helpline + contact =====

	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	* Q: Do all food businesses need FSSAI? — Yes — if dealing with food in any way. Even home-based catering above Rs. 12 lakh turnover.
	+	* Q: Basic vs State vs Central — what threshold? — Basic ≤ Rs. 12 L · State Rs. 12 L - 20 cr · Central > Rs. 20 cr OR multi-state OR e-commerce.
	+	* Q: Renewal — when? — Apply 30-60 days before expiry. Late renewal NOT allowed; fresh application required.
	+	* Q: Penalties for non-compliance? — Rs. 5,000-Rs. 5 lakh under FSS Act §57-59 + criminal prosecution for serious violations.
	+	* Q: Can I sell food online without FSSAI? — No — Swiggy/Zomato/Amazon mandatorily require FSSAI for onboarding. Direct e-commerce too.

	+
	+	====== How to check GST registration status — ARN tracker (2026) ======
	+
	+	{{page>snippets:dpdp-banner}}
	+
	+	<WRAP info>Direct answer. Visit gst.gov.in → Track Application Status → enter your 15-digit ARN (Application Reference Number). New GST registration SLA: 3-7 working days under CGST Rules 2017 §9. Status flow: Submitted → Pending for Processing → Approved (GSTIN issued) / Rejected.</WRAP>

	+	\| Email \| helpdesk@gst.gov.in \|
	+	\| Statutory base \| Central Goods and Services Tax Act 2017 \|
	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Visit gst.gov.in → Services → Registration → Track Application Status.
	+	- Enter your ARN (15 digits, format AA0511220012345 or similar).
	+	- Status shows current stage.
	+	- If "Pending for Processing" beyond 7 days, the proper officer must explain delay.
	+	- If "Approved", download GST Registration Certificate (Form REG-06).
	+	- If "Rejected", note the reason and re-apply with corrections.
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Akash, a 27-year-old %%SaaS%% founder in Bengaluru, applied for GST in March 2024. ARN said "Pending Processing" for 14 days despite 7-day SLA. He filed an RTI to GST Bengaluru zonal office under §6 asking processing officer + reason for delay + projected approval. Reply in 16 days revealed his Aadhaar-authentication wasn't marked complete (he'd done OTP but system needed re-sync). Re-authenticated; GSTIN issued in 4 days.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Aadhaar authentication failed — most common rejection cause post-2021. Fix: redo OTP at GST portal.
	+	* Documents mismatch — PAN/business name inconsistency. Fix: gazette correction.
	+	* Registered address proof — utility bill > 1 month old. Fix: gas bill or fresh rent agreement.
	+	* Place of business not visited by officer for verification. Fix: ensure name displayed at premises.
	+	* Bank details proof issue — cancelled cheque blurry or wrong format. Fix: clear scanned cheque + first page of passbook.
	+	* Multiple registrations attempted under same PAN. System flags duplicate.
	+	* Composition scheme eligibility — turnover > Rs. 1.5 cr (Rs. 75 L for special states) auto-rejected for composition.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* Aadhaar authentication via OTP speeds up registration to 3 days vs 7-day default. Most don't know this option.
	+	* Composition scheme (1% turnover tax for goods up to Rs. 1.5 cr) — opt-in within 30 days of registration; can't change mid-year.
	+	* E-invoicing mandate for businesses above Rs. 5 cr turnover (since Aug 2023). Check e-invoice eligibility at irp.gst.gov.in.
	+	* LUT (Letter of Undertaking) required for export without IGST — file annually by 31 March.
	+	* Multiple branches in different states — separate GSTIN per state.

	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Log in to incometax.gov.in → e-File → View Filed Returns → select AY.

	+	- If "Refund Failed" — re-issue from incometax.gov.in → Services → Refund Reissue.
	+	- For e-verification: incometax.gov.in → e-Verify Return → Aadhaar OTP / EVC / DSC.
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Karan, a 31-year-old salaried professional in Mumbai, e-filed his ITR in July 2024 expecting Rs. 47,000 refund. By October, status was "Processed" but no refund credited. He filed an RTI to CPC (Central Processing Centre) Bengaluru asking refund processing details + reason for non-credit. Before reply (28 days), he discovered his bank account wasn't pre-validated at the IT portal. He validated; refund credited within 9 days.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Bank account not pre-validated — most common reason. Fix: validate at incometax.gov.in → Profile → My Bank Account.
	+	* Aadhaar-PAN linkage missing — PAN became inoperative. Fix: link at incometax.gov.in (Rs. 1,000 fee post-deadline).
	+	* Mismatched bank details — IFSC changed (bank merger). Fix: update at IT portal.
	+	* Refund adjusted against past dues — old IT demand outstanding. Fix: check Outstanding Tax Demand at IT portal.
	+	* Defective return notice — ITR found incomplete. Fix: respond to §139(9) notice within 15 days.
	+	* Scrutiny / verification underway — random selection or AI flagging. Be patient or respond to assessment notice.
	+	* TDS mismatch with Form 26AS — credit not given. Fix: contact deductor (employer/bank) to file revised TDS return.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* Pre-validate your bank account at incometax.gov.in BEFORE filing — prevents the most common refund delay.
	+	* Form 26AS / AIS at incometax.gov.in shows all TDS, advance tax, and high-value transactions reported by third parties. Check before filing.
	+	* Refund interest under §244A — 0.5% per month from 1 April of AY (if return filed on time) until refund granted. Auto-calculated; don't need to demand.
	+	* Senior citizens (60+) with only pension/interest income can use ITR-1 Sahaj — simplest form, fastest refund.
	+	* Defective return under §139(9) — respond within 15 days; otherwise return treated as invalid.

	+	* Q: What if my refund is below expectation? — Check Form 26AS for TDS credits. If TDS wasn't reported, contact deductor for revised TDS return.
	+	* Q: Can I track refund without login? — Yes — at tin.tin.nsdl.com → Refund Status → enter PAN + AY.
	+	* Q: My PAN became inoperative — what now? — Pay Rs. 1,000 fee (post-deadline) at incometax.gov.in → e-Pay Tax → Aadhaar Linkage. Activates within 24 hours.

	+	- For discontinued subsidy: check "Give Up Subsidy" status — sometimes auto-flagged due to declared income.
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Mrs. Singh, a 56-year-old housewife in Lucknow, noticed LPG subsidy stopped in Nov 2024. Earlier she got Rs. 200-300/cylinder; now zero. Filed RTI to %%MoPNG%% asking subsidy discontinuation reason + DBT trace + restoration process. Reply in 23 days revealed her PAN was flagged as IT-payer (incorrectly — her husband's PAN was used). Corrected via mylpg.in; subsidy restored within 30 days; back-payment of Rs. 2,400 credited.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Aadhaar-bank not linked — DBT fails. Fix: visit bank.
	+	* Income > Rs. 10 lakh self-declared — auto-disqualifies. Fix: re-declare if mistaken.
	+	* KYC outdated — annual re-KYC needed. Fix: distributor visit OR mylpg.in.
	+	* Multiple LPG connections detected — only one subsidy per household. Fix: surrender duplicate.
	+	* Bank account dormant — DBT fails. Fix: revive account.
	+	* Mobile not linked — OTP-based features fail. Fix: update at distributor.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* 1906 is a single LPG emergency number across all 3 PSU distributors — works for leakage + safety + booking.
	+	* Ujjwala 2.0 — for migrant families without permanent address, only Aadhaar + self-declaration needed.
	+	* Refill booking via SMS — 17-digit consumer number to distributor SMS shortcode (e.g., 7718955555 for IOC). Faster than IVR.
	+	* Composite cylinder (5 kg) for urban single-person households — cheaper deposit, easier handling.
	+	* Annual cap of subsidised cylinders = 12 per household. 13th onwards at market rate.
	+

	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	* Q: Why did my subsidy stop? — Most common: income > Rs. 10 lakh self-declared, Aadhaar-bank delinking, KYC expired, OR you opted for "Give Up" earlier.
	+	* Q: Is LPG subsidy mandatory? — No — high-income households can opt out via "Give Up" feature. Reduces govt expenditure.
	+	* Q: Ujjwala connection — am I eligible? — Below-poverty-line women, SC/ST, OBC, tribal, forest-dweller, migrant worker. Verify via SECC 2011 OR Ujjwala 2.0 self-declaration.
	+	* Q: How to transfer LPG to a new city? — Surrender at old distributor (get NOC) + apply at new distributor with NOC.
	+	* Q: Cylinder wasn't delivered after booking? — Call 1906 + RTI to %%MoPNG%% for distributor non-performance + complaint to LPG Distributor Selection Committee.

	+	<WRAP info>Direct answer. Visit nrega.nic.in → Job Card → enter state + district + panchayat → search by name OR job card number. Wages must be paid within 15 days of work completion (§3(3)). If delayed, 0.05% per day compensation is automatic (Operational Guidelines Para 30).</WRAP>

	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Visit nrega.nic.in → Reports → State name → District → Block → Panchayat.
	+	- Click "Job Card / Employment Register" → search by name.
	+	- Status shows: Job card number, days worked, wages due, FTO (Fund Transfer Order) generated, payment date.
	+	- Click "Worker-wise Payment Details" — Aadhaar-based, shows credit to bank.
	+	- For demanding work: panchayat office; written application Form A6.
	+	- For complaint: same portal → Grievance Redressal → log complaint with case ID.
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Lakshmi, a 38-year-old mother of three from rural Jharkhand, worked 32 days on a pond-deepening project. Wages of Rs. 8,640 due. After 47 days of waiting, she filed an RTI to BPO under §6 asking (a) muster roll dates, (b) measurement date, (c) FTO generation, (d) wage credit, (e) §3(3) compensation accrued. Reply in 21 days revealed FTO was generated but stuck at the Bihar State Cell. With RTI in hand, the panchayat secretary escalated; wages + Rs. 414 compensation (0.05% × 24 days × 32 days × Rs. 240/day rate) credited within 18 days.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Muster roll measurement delay — JE/AE didn't measure work. Fix: physical visit + RTI for measurement records.
	+	* FTO generation pending — block office hasn't uploaded. Fix: BPO contact + RTI.
	+	* Aadhaar-bank linkage missing — DBT fails. Fix: visit bank.
	+	* Bank account dormant — credit fails. Fix: small deposit + transaction.
	+	* Job card cancelled — fictitious cancellation. Fix: RTI for cancellation order; representation to BDO.
	+	* Wages disputed — measurement undervalued vs actual work. Fix: re-measurement request + RTI for original muster roll.
	+	* Worker not in muster roll despite working — supervisor omitted. Fix: RTI for full muster roll; raise complaint.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* §3(3) compensation is AUTOMATIC — no application needed. If you don't see it credited, file RTI for compensation calculation.
	+	* Job card is FREE — never pay anyone for it. Apply at panchayat office; valid 5 years.
	+	* 100 days guaranteed per household per year — demand in writing if you want work; allowance if no work provided in 15 days.
	+	* Social Audit — every panchayat's MGNREGA records are publicly auditable in Gram Sabha. Demand audit findings.
	+	* Worksite facilities — drinking water, first-aid, shade, crèche for children of workers — mandatory under Schedule II. RTI if missing.

	+	* Q: Can I demand work? — Yes — written application Form A6. If work not provided in 15 days, daily unemployment allowance kicks in.
	+	* Q: Are women-headed households prioritized? — Yes — at least 33% of beneficiaries must be women per Schedule II. In practice over 55% in many states.
	+	* Q: What if my wages are not credited despite "Paid" status? — Check Aadhaar-bank linkage at the bank. If linkage broken, FTO returns to NREGA Fund.

	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Find your Acknowledgment Number from the application receipt — 15 digits, sent via email/SMS.
	+	- Visit the right portal: NSDL if you applied via NSDL/Protean; UTIITSL if via UTIITSL.
	+	- Enter Acknowledgment Number + captcha. Status shows current stage.
	+	- For instant e-PAN (Aadhaar-OTP route): visit incometax.gov.in → Quick Links → Instant e-PAN → enter Aadhaar → OTP → e-PAN PDF in 10 minutes (FREE).
	+	- If status shows "Dispatched", note tracking number and check India Post.
	+	- If "Returned undelivered", contact the intermediary to re-dispatch.
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Anil, a 28-year-old fresh hire in Hyderabad, urgently needed PAN for joining formalities. NSDL status said "Sent to ITD for processing" for 22 days, missing his joining deadline. He used the Instant e-PAN route via Aadhaar OTP — got e-PAN PDF in 8 minutes for free. Joined on time. Physical card arrived 9 days later via post.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Wrong supporting documents — name doesn't match Aadhaar/passport. Fix: re-submit with corrected.
	+	* Duplicate PAN flag — system finds existing PAN under your name/DOB. Fix: surrender duplicate (online process); use existing.
	+	* Photograph quality issue — blurry/non-compliant. Fix: re-upload via intermediary portal.
	+	* Signature mismatch with proof. Fix: fresh signature on white background, re-upload.
	+	* Address PIN mismatch — Indian Postal Service couldn't deliver. Fix: re-dispatch request.
	+	* Stuck at "Application Found" for >30 days — file RTI for processing-officer details.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* Instant e-PAN via Aadhaar (incometax.gov.in) is FREE and arrives in 10 minutes. 90% of users don't know.
	+	* If you have an existing physical PAN, you can also download a digitally-signed e-PAN from the same portal for FREE — instant.
	+	* PAN can be linked with Aadhaar at incometax.gov.in for FREE (since June 2022). Check linkage at the same site.
	+	* Lost PAN — order a PAN reprint at NSDL/UTIITSL for Rs. 110, delivered in 15-20 days.
	+	* PAN is required for Rs. 50,000+ deposits, immovable property purchases, foreign travel, hotel stays > Rs. 50,000, and any IT-relevant transaction.

	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	* Q: How to check PAN status without acknowledgment number? — Visit NSDL → Track Status → "Without Acknowledgment Number" → enter date of birth + name. Returns last status.
	+	* Q: Is e-PAN valid as identity proof? — Yes — digitally signed e-PAN issued by Income Tax Department is legally equivalent to physical PAN for all purposes.
	+	* Q: Can I update my address on PAN? — No — PAN doesn't store address. Address updates happen at the IT department for tax records, not on the PAN itself.
	+	* Q: What if PAN application is rejected? — Common reasons: name mismatch, photo quality, duplicate flag. Re-apply with correct details. NSDL refund of Rs. 110 takes 30-45 days.
	+	* Q: PAN required for opening bank account? — Yes for any account, since the KYC tightening of 2017. Form 60 substitutes for those without PAN.

	+	- Find your File Number on the receipt from PSK or Post Office PSK (POPSK).
	+	- Visit [[https://passportindia.gov.in\|passportindia.gov.in]] → top right "Track Application Status".
	+	- Enter File Number (15 digits) + Date of Birth + captcha.
	+	- Status timeline shows: Application Submitted → Police Verification → Granted → Printing → Despatched. Each stage colour-coded.
	+	- For Tatkal, PV may be deferred until after issuance ("Post-Police Verification"). Check delivery via India Post tracking number on the same portal.
	+	- If status shows "Adverse Police Report" — see our [[:rti-for-police-verification-passport\|RTI for Police Verification adverse remarks]] guide.
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Meera, a 31-year-old IT consultant in Pune, applied for Tatkal passport for an urgent UK conference. Status sat at "Police Verification Pending" for 14 days despite Tatkal's 1-3 day SLA. She filed an RTI under §6 (citing §7(1) life-and-liberty 48-hour proviso for urgent travel) to SP-CID Pune asking (a) PV file location, (b) reason for delay beyond 3-day Tatkal SLA, (c) officer-in-charge contact. Reply in 36 hours showed the file was wrongly routed to a different police station. Re-routed; PV done in 24 hours; passport delivered in time.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Police Verification adverse remarks — most common stuck reason. Police flagged criminal record, address mismatch, or unverified identity. Fix: separate RTI to SP-CID for adverse-remark reasons.
	+	* Address proof rejected — utility bill > 1 month old or rent agreement not registered. Fix: submit fresh proof.
	+	* Document mismatch — name/DOB on PAN/Aadhaar doesn't match application. Fix: gazette notification or affidavit.
	+	* Marriage certificate or divorce decree missing for surname change. Fix: upload via portal.
	+	* Tatkal eligibility unclear — applied without strong urgency proof. Fix: re-submit with confirmed visa, ticket, medical letter.
	+	* Stuck at "Printing" for >7 days — printing centre delay (Bengaluru/Hyderabad). File RTI to RPO for printing-queue status.
	+	* Returned undelivered — addressee unavailable. India Post returned to RPO. Fix: re-arrange delivery.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* Tatkal route is faster (1-3 days post-PV) but costs Rs. 3,500 (Rs. 1,500 normal + Rs. 2,000 Tatkal premium). Worth it for genuine urgency.
	+	* Aadhaar-based ECNR (Emigration Check Not Required) is automatic for senior citizens, ITR-filers, and graduates — no separate ECR endorsement needed.
	+	* Post Office PSKs (POPSKs) are often less crowded than full PSKs — check [[https://www.passportindia.gov.in\|passportindia.gov.in]] for your nearest. Same fees, same processing.
	+	* Children's passports valid only 5 years (under 18). Re-issue at 18 without delay; expired children's passports often stuck due to mistaken assumption of standard 10-year validity.
	+	* MADAD grievance portal ([[https://madad.gov.in\|madad.gov.in]]) is faster than RTI for non-PV-related delays — typically 7-14 day disposal.

	+
	+	====== How to check pension status / PPO number — CPAO + Bhavishya + Bank (2026) ======
	+
	+	{{page>snippets:dpdp-banner}}
	+
	+	<WRAP info>Direct answer. For Central govt employees: visit bhavishya.nic.in (%%DoPPW%% Bhavishya portal) — track your pre-retirement pension processing. After retirement: check at cpao.nic.in or your disbursing bank (typically your salary bank). PPO Number is your master ID — first installment released within 8 months of retirement (CCS Pension Rules 2021 Rule 65).</WRAP>

	+	\| Post-retirement portal \| [[https://cpao.nic.in\|cpao.nic.in]] (Central Pension Accounting Office) \|
	+	\| PPO format \| 12-digit Pension Payment Order number \|
	+	\| SLA \| 8 months pre-retirement processing (CCS Pension Rules 2021) \|
	+	\| Bank route \| Disbursing bank statement / passbook \|

	+	\| Email \| helpdesk-bhavishya@nic.in / cpao@nic.in \|
	+	\| Statutory base \| CCS (Pension) Rules 2021 \|
	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	* Before retirement: register on Bhavishya at least 8 months before retirement. Track all 9 stages: Form 5/6/7 submission → %%HoO%% scrutiny → AG/CPAO → e-PPO → Bank credit.
	+	* After retirement: visit cpao.nic.in → Pensioners Corner → Pension Status — enter PPO number + DOB.
	+	* Bank route: log in to your disbursing bank's net-banking → check "Pension" section. Most PSBs (SBI, PNB, Canara, etc.) show pension credit history.
	+	* Find PPO if lost: contact disbursing bank with retirement letter + Aadhaar + service certificate. They can re-issue PPO copy.
	+	* Provisional pension under Rule 68 — if final PPO is delayed beyond 6 months, provisional pension equal to 100% of basic must be released. Most don't know to demand this.
	+	* Family pension activation — surviving spouse must apply with death certificate + bank statement; revision within 30 days mandated.
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Mr. Ramamurthy, a 60-year-old retired Junior Engineer from CPWD Delhi, hadn't received any pension 7 months after retirement. He filed an RTI to his last drawing office (CPWD Division) asking (a) date of forwarding pension papers to AG/CPAO, (b) current location of file, (c) reason for delay beyond Rule 65's 8-month timeline, (d) provisional pension status under Rule 68, (e) projected sanction date. Reply in 26 days revealed the file was held up at AG's office for 5 months on a single missing service-verification entry. He chased AG; PPO issued in 14 days; arrears (7 months × Rs. 36,000) credited.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Service verification gaps — break-in-service, leave records missing. Fix: collect all service certificates from past postings.
	+	* Last-pay certificate (LPC) issue — wrong basic, allowance, or DA noted. Fix: rectification request to last drawing office.
	+	* Bank account issue — joint account vs single, KYC pending. Fix: bank visit.
	+	* Aadhaar-PAN mismatch — DBT routing fails. Fix: update both with consistent data.
	+	* Family details not updated for spouse and children. Fix: Form 12 to %%HoO%% for nomination.
	+	* Pension fixation calculation error — 7th Pay Commission revisions may have been applied incorrectly. Fix: file RTI for fixation worksheet.
	+	* %%HoO%% transferred / unreachable — common after restructuring. Fix: contact next administrative officer in line.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* Provisional pension under Rule 68 of CCS Pension Rules 2021 — 100% of basic + DA, payable indefinitely until final PPO. ASK FOR THIS in writing if delay exceeds 6 months — most %%HoOs%% don't volunteer it.
	+	* Bhavishya app (Android) lets you track pension stages from your phone. Notifications at each stage transition.
	+	* Annual life certificate is mandatory each November via biometric (Jeevan Pramaan app or bank visit). If missed, pension freezes.
	+	* Pension can be received in any bank in India — not just disbursing bank. CPAO portal allows bank change without re-application.
	+	* Family pension is 30% of basic (50% if death-in-service); can be claimed by parents (if no spouse/children) or unmarried daughter (any age) or disabled child (any age). Most family-pension claimants don't know about the disabled-child clause.

	+
	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	* Q: How long after retirement should pension start? — CCS Pension Rules 2021 mandate 8-month pre-retirement processing. First installment should hit your bank by retirement date or within 30 days.
	+	* Q: What is provisional pension and when can I claim it? — Rule 68 of CCS Pension Rules — 100% of basic + DA, payable when final pension is delayed > 6 months post-retirement. Demand in writing.
	+	* Q: Can I receive pension in any bank? — Yes — pensioner is free to choose any bank. CPAO portal handles transfer without re-application.
	+	* Q: What if my PPO is lost? — Disbursing bank can issue duplicate. Contact bank with Aadhaar + service certificate.
	+	* Q: Family pension after pensioner's death — what to do? — Spouse files Form-14 with %%HoO%% + death certificate + bank passbook. Revision within 30 days mandated. Children eligible till 25 (sons) / lifelong (unmarried/disabled daughters).

	+
	+	{{page>snippets:dpdp-banner}}
	+
	+	<WRAP info>Direct answer. Visit pmkisan.gov.in → Farmers Corner → Beneficiary Status → enter Aadhaar / Account Number / Mobile. Status shows installments paid, %%eKYC%% completion, land-record linkage. Each installment is Rs. 2,000 (3 per year = Rs. 6,000/year). %%eKYC%% has been mandatory since 2022 — without it, payments stop.</WRAP>

	+	\| What you need \| Aadhaar number OR Bank account number OR Registered mobile \|
	+	\| Official portal \| [[https://pmkisan.gov.in\|pmkisan.gov.in]] \|
	+	\| Mobile app \| PM-KISAN Mobile (Android — for face-auth %%eKYC%%) \|

	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Visit pmkisan.gov.in → Farmers Corner.
	+	- Click Beneficiary Status → enter Aadhaar / Bank account / Mobile.
	+	- Status table shows: Farmer ID, Name, %%eKYC%% done?, Land-seeding done?, Installments released (each with date and amount).
	+	- Click %%eKYC%% if not done — three options: OTP-based (instant if Aadhaar mobile is active), CSC biometric (Rs. 15-50), or Face-auth via PM-KISAN mobile app (free, instant).
	+	- For land-seeding, contact your Patwari/Talati — they upload your land details to the PFMS database.
	+	- If installment is missed, check Status of Self-Registered/CSC Farmers for the rejection reason.
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Ramappa, a 67-year-old farmer in Karnataka, hadn't received the Aug 2024 installment. He filed an RTI under §6 to the District Agriculture Officer asking (a) reason for missed installment, (b) %%eKYC%% status, (c) land-record linkage status, (d) officer to contact for rectification. Reply in 19 days flagged that his %%eKYC%% had expired (some states require annual re-verification). He completed face-auth on the PM-KISAN app in 5 minutes; missed installment + Dec 2024 installment both released together within 21 days.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* %%eKYC%% not completed — single biggest reason for stopped payments. Fix: do face-auth on PM-KISAN app (free, instant).
	+	* Income tax filer — automatic disqualification. Anyone who paid IT in any of last 2 AYs is excluded.
	+	* Pension > Rs. 10,000/month — disqualifies. Govt pensioners barred.
	+	* Constitutional post-holders — MPs, MLAs, ex-Ministers, judges barred.
	+	* Professional registration — doctors, engineers, CAs, lawyers, architects in active practice barred (Operational Guidelines).
	+	* Land record not seeded — Patwari hasn't uploaded your khasra/khatauni. Fix: physical visit + RTI if no action.
	+	* Aadhaar not linked to bank account — DBT fails. Fix: visit bank with Aadhaar.
	+	* Account dormant for 1+ year — bank account inactive. Fix: deposit Rs. 100, transactions revive.
	+	* Family land split — if your family land has been divided amongst heirs but record not updated, only one is eligible.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* Face-auth %%eKYC%% via PM-KISAN mobile app is the FASTEST method — 30 seconds, free, no biometric machine needed.
	+	* Aadhaar-based bank account is automatically detected — you don't need a separate seeding process if Aadhaar is bank-linked.
	+	* Status of Self-Registered Farmers has the precise rejection reason — most users skip this section.
	+	* Karnataka, AP, Telangana, Odisha add a state top-up to PM-KISAN (Rs. 4,000-12,000 extra/year). Check state-specific portals.
	+	* If you're a tenant farmer (not landowner), you're NOT eligible for PM-KISAN. Some states (Andhra) have separate "Rythu Bharosa" for tenant farmers.

	+	* Q: Can I get PM-KISAN if I have only 0.5 acres? — Yes — there's no minimum landholding. The earlier 2-hectare cap was removed in May 2019.
	+	* Q: What if my land is in joint family? — Each landholder family is treated as one unit. Only one nomination per family.
	+	* Q: I missed face-auth deadline. Can I still get back-installments? — Yes — once %%eKYC%% is done, missed installments release in 30-60 days as arrears.
	+	* Q: How is PM-KISAN different from PM-KISAN Maandhan? — PM-KISAN = Rs. 6,000/year cash transfer (current). Maandhan = pension scheme (Rs. 3,000/month after age 60, contributory).

	+
	+	====== How to check PMAY status — Beneficiary list + %%AwaasSoft%% + PMAYMIS (2026 guide) ======
	+
	+	{{page>snippets:dpdp-banner}}
	+
	+	<WRAP info>Direct answer. For PMAY-G (Gramin): visit awaassoft.nic.in → Stakeholders → IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary → enter registration number. For PMAY-U (Urban): visit pmaymis.gov.in → Search Beneficiary → enter name/Aadhaar/state. SLA varies by state (typically 60-90 days for sanction post-eligibility).</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== Quick facts =====
	+	\| What you need \| Registration Number / Aadhaar / Beneficiary ID \|
	+	\| PMAY-G portal \| [[https://awaassoft.nic.in\|awaassoft.nic.in]] (Rural) \|
	+	\| PMAY-U portal \| [[https://pmaymis.gov.in\|pmaymis.gov.in]] (Urban) \|
	+	\| SECC base \| [[https://secc.gov.in\|secc.gov.in]] — verify SECC inclusion \|
	+	\| Mobile app \| PMAYG MIS (Android — for field officers) \|
	+	\| SLA \| 60-90 days for sanction; 12-18 months for completion \|
	+	\| Helpline (G) \| 1800-11-6446 (toll-free) \|
	+	\| Helpline (U) \| 1800-11-3377 / 6163 (toll-free) \|
	+	\| Statutory base \| PMAY-G Operational Guidelines 2016 + 2024 amendment \|
	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- For PMAY-G (Rural): visit awaassoft.nic.in → IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary → enter registration number OR search by Aadhaar.
	+	- For PMAY-U (Urban): visit pmaymis.gov.in → Search Beneficiary → name/Aadhaar/assessment ID.
	+	- Status shows: SECC eligibility → Verification → Sanction → 1st Instalment → Foundation → 2nd Instalment → Roof → Final Instalment → Geo-tag verified → Completion.
	+	- Verify your SECC 2011 inclusion at secc.gov.in — this is the eligibility base. If not in SECC, you typically can't get PMAY-G (some states have post-2011 amendments).
	+	- For CSMC sanctions (PMAY-U), check the District Urban Development Authority (DUDA) for project lists.
	+	- If status is stuck, contact your BDO (rural) or CMO/Town Planning (urban).
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Lakshmi, a 45-year-old widow in rural Andhra Pradesh, was promised PMAY-G in 2022. By 2025, she had received only the first instalment of Rs. 35,000 of the Rs. 1.2 lakh sanctioned. Construction was stalled. She filed an RTI to BDO under §6 asking (a) instalment-wise release dates and amounts, (b) geo-tag verification status, (c) reason for delay in 2nd/3rd instalments, (d) officer-in-charge. Reply in 27 days revealed pending geo-tag verification (Patwari hadn't visited). Patwari visited in 6 days; remaining instalments released within 30 days.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* SECC 2011 ineligibility — you're not on the SECC list. Most common cause for "Not Eligible" status. Fix: state-specific post-SECC verification mechanisms (Maharashtra and TN have these).
	+	* Income exceeds threshold — EWS Rs. 3 L, LIG Rs. 6 L, MIG-1 Rs. 12 L, MIG-2 Rs. 18 L. Verify ITR.
	+	* Already own a house in any name in India (joint ownership counts). Disqualifies.
	+	* Land record issue — for PMAY-G, you must own (or be in possession of) the land. Patta/khasra issue blocks sanction.
	+	* Aadhaar-bank linkage missing — 2nd/3rd instalments hold without DBT linkage.
	+	* Geo-tag mandate — without geo-tagged photos at foundation/roof/completion, instalments hold. Fix: contact Patwari/JE for inspection.
	+	* Beneficiary list manipulation at panchayat level — fake beneficiaries inserted, real ones excluded. RTI for full beneficiary list.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* SECC additions are possible in some states post-2011 via the State Permanent Wait List (SPWL). Check with your BDO.
	+	* Credit-Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) under PMAY-U gives interest subsidy on home loans for EWS/LIG/MIG. Apply via your bank, not via state portal.
	+	* Geo-tagged photographs are now mandatory at Foundation, Lintel, Roof — without these uploaded by your Patwari, instalments freeze. Track via %%AwaasSoft%%.
	+	* Beneficiary contribution — many states require Rs. 5,000-25,000 from beneficiary towards toilets/electrical. Often confused with PMAY funds.
	+	* Convergence with MGNREGA — 90 person-days of MGNREGA wages are payable for the labour component of your house construction. Many beneficiaries don't claim this.
	+
	+	===== Helpline + contact =====
	+	PMAY-G: 1800-11-6446 · PMAY-U: 1800-11-3377 / 6163 · CLSS bank queries: contact your lender · pmaymis.gov.in helpdesk@pmaymis.gov.in

	+
	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	* Q: Am I eligible for PMAY-G if my name is not in SECC 2011? — Most often no, but some states (Maharashtra Awas Yojana, TN CMAY) have separate post-SECC mechanisms.
	+	* Q: How much subsidy under PMAY-U CLSS? — EWS/LIG: 6.5% interest subsidy (max Rs. 2.67 L); MIG-1: 4% (max Rs. 2.35 L); MIG-2: 3% (max Rs. 2.30 L). Time-bound; CLSS officially closed for MIG in 2024 but continues for EWS/LIG.
	+	* Q: Can NRIs get PMAY? — No — PMAY is for Indian residents only. NRI status disqualifies.
	+	* Q: What if my house was completed 2 years ago but no completion certificate issued? — File RTI to BDO/CMO for completion-certificate status + geo-tag verification.
	+	* Q: Can I get PMAY for an extension to existing house? — No — only for new construction or upgradation of kutcha/semi-kutcha to pucca.

	+
	+	====== How to check police verification status — passport / employment / tenant (2026) ======
	+
	+	{{page>snippets:dpdp-banner}}
	+
	+	<WRAP info>Direct answer. For passport PV: track via Passport Seva (passportindia.gov.in). For employment / tenant verification: most state police have online portals (e.g., Delhi: e-FRRO; UP: uppolice.gov.in; Maharashtra: mahapolice.gov.in). PV typically takes 15-30 days; RTI to SP-CID for delay.</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== Quick facts =====
	+	\| Passport PV \| [[https://passportindia.gov.in\|passportindia.gov.in]] (track with file number) \|
	+	\| Delhi police \| [[https://delhipolice.gov.in\|delhipolice.gov.in]] \|
	+	\| UP police \| [[https://uppolice.gov.in\|uppolice.gov.in]] \|
	+	\| Maharashtra police \| [[https://mahapolice.gov.in\|mahapolice.gov.in]] \|

	+	\| Tamil Nadu \| [[https://eservices.tnpolice.gov.in\|eservices.tnpolice.gov.in]] \|
	+	\| SLA \| 15-30 days (state-specific; varies for passport vs employment) \|
	+	\| Helpline \| 112 (national police) · State police helplines vary \|
	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- For passport PV: check passport status; PV substage shown.
	+	- For employment PV: visit your state police portal → PCC (Police Clearance Certificate) status.
	+	- Enter reference number from PCC application receipt.
	+	- Status flow: Application → Field Verification → Report Generated → Issued / Adverse.
	+	- For adverse PV: separate RTI to SP-CID for adverse-remark text under §4(1)(d).
	+	- PCC for foreign immigration (Australia, Canada, etc.) — apply via Passport Seva's separate PCC route, not state police.
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Vikram, a 34-year-old IT professional applying for Canada PR, applied for PCC via Passport Seva. Status said "Pending" for 38 days despite 15-day SLA. He filed an RTI to SP-CID under §6 asking PCC status + reason for delay + officer-in-charge. Reply in 19 days revealed his application was held up at the local police station for verification — officer hadn't visited his address. He physically visited the PS with the RTI reply; PCC issued in 11 days; submitted to Canadian visa.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Address proof inadequate — utility bill > 1 month old. Fix: gas bill / fresh rent agreement.
	+	* Police didn't visit address — most common cause. Fix: physical visit + RTI.
	+	* Past FIR (closed/acquitted) flagged — adverse remark. Fix: separate RTI for closure/acquittal proof submission.
	+	* Multiple addresses in past 5 years — verification at each. Adds time. Fix: provide proof of all.
	+	* Wrong PS jurisdiction — your address falls under different PS than applied. Fix: re-route application.
	+	* Online vs offline mismatch — applied online but offline file lost. Fix: physical PS visit.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* PCC for foreign visa: apply via Passport Seva (separate from state police). Faster + standardised.
	+	* Tenant verification is NOW MANDATORY in many states (Maharashtra, Karnataka, Delhi). Landlords must file form within 3 days of new tenant occupancy.
	+	* e-FIR option for many crimes via state police app — saves PS visit. Then PCC verifies clean record.
	+	* Adverse PV doesn't auto-disqualify visa — explanatory letter + supporting docs (acquittal, closure) usually accepted.
	+	* Maharashtra MAHA-EYES app — police verification entirely on phone. Fastest in India.
	+
	+	===== Helpline + contact =====
	+	National police: 112 · State helplines vary · For PCC questions: Passport Seva 1800-258-1800
	+
	+	===== If status is delayed beyond SLA — file an RTI =====
	+
	+	The official SLA on this service is published. If your status is stuck beyond it, you have a statutory right under §6 RTI Act 2005 to demand information from the public authority. Reply mandatory in 30 days.
	+
	+	File an RTI to: //SP-CID / Special Branch (state police)//
	+
	+	Ask these 5 questions:
	+
	+	- application status by reference
	+	- field-verification date + officer
	+	- report status (issued/adverse)
	+	- adverse-remark text under §4(1)(d)

	+
	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	* Q: How long does PCC take? — 15-30 days for employment/tenant. Passport PV similar (21-day SLA from MEA). Foreign visa PCC: 7-30 days.
	+	* Q: Cost? — Free (Maharashtra), Rs. 50-500 (most states). Foreign-visa PCC via Passport Seva: Rs. 500.
	+	* Q: What if my PV is adverse? — File RTI for adverse-remark text. If based on closed/acquitted case, submit closure documents. Represent to RPO/employer.
	+	* Q: Is PV needed for renting? — Increasingly yes — many states require landlord to file tenant verification within 3-7 days.
	+	* Q: Multiple addresses in last 5 years — verification at each? — Yes — police verifies each address. Provide proofs of all to speed up.

	+
	+	{{page>snippets:dpdp-banner}}
	+
	+	<WRAP info>Direct answer. Most states have online mutation tracking on their revenue portals. Karnataka (Bhoomi) — landrecords.karnataka.gov.in · Maharashtra (Mahabhumi) — bhulekh.mahabhumi.gov.in · UP (Bhulekh UP) — upbhulekh.gov.in · Delhi (e-Dharti) — edharti.delhigovt.nic.in. Search by application/case number, khasra, or owner name. Statutory disposal: typically 45-90 days under state revenue rules.</WRAP>

	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Anwar, a 41-year-old buyer of a residential plot in Lucknow, completed registration in May 2023. By November (6 months), mutation was still "Pending Patwari Verification". He filed an RTI to Tehsildar under §6 asking (a) application status, (b) Patwari assigned + visit dates, (c) any objections, (d) reason for delay beyond UP Revenue Code's 90-day rule. Reply in 24 days revealed his application had been wrongly marked "objection received" without notifying him. Re-routed; mutation completed in 19 days; updated khata downloaded.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Patwari hasn't visited — most common. Fix: physical visit to Patwari office + RTI.
	+	* Third-party objection raised — co-heirs/neighbours filed objection. Fix: separate hearing with Tehsildar; submit your sale deed copy.
	+	* Stamp duty deficit — registrar collected less stamp duty than required. Fix: pay deficit at sub-registrar.
	+	* Encumbrance flag — bank loan or pending litigation noted. Fix: NOC from bank / court order.
	+	* Wrong tehsil — your land is in different tehsil than where you applied. Fix: re-apply at correct office.
	+	* Survey number mismatch — old survey number vs current. Fix: cite Bhulekh records of latest survey.
	+	* Family partition pending — unmutated partition deed in family. Fix: complete partition first or apply for joint mutation.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* Bhulekh portals are FREE for view — but certified %%RoR%% copies cost Rs. 10-50. Useful as evidence in any future dispute.
	+	* Online mutation request is now possible in Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana, AP, UP, MP, Rajasthan — saves a Tehsildar visit.
	+	* Mutation does NOT confer ownership — your sale deed does. Mutation updates the revenue record (for property tax + future sales).
	+	* Without mutation, you can't pay property tax in your name — mutation is essential for utility connections, insurance, loans.
	+	* E-mutation across India — DILRMP (Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme) pushing all states to online by 2026.
	+
	+	===== Helpline + contact =====

	+	* Q: What if mutation is rejected? — Appeal to SDM within 30 days under state Revenue Code. Free legal aid available via SLSA.
	+	* Q: Cost of mutation? — Rs. 50-500 typically (state-specific). Free in some states like Karnataka if online.

	+
	+	====== How to check ration card status — state-wise official portal guide 2026 ======
	+
	+	{{page>snippets:dpdp-banner}}
	+
	+	<WRAP info>Direct answer. Each state has its own civil-supplies portal. Most-used: Tamil Nadu — tnpds.gov.in · Maharashtra — mahafood.gov.in · Karnataka — ahara.kar.nic.in · UP — fcs.up.gov.in · Bihar — epds.bihar.gov.in. Open your state's portal → "Check Application Status" → enter Application ID or Aadhaar number. NFSA SLA is 30 days for new card; correction varies (typically 15-30 days).</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== Quick facts =====
	+	\| What you need \| Application ID OR Aadhaar number OR ration card number \|
	+	\| Tamil Nadu \| [[https://tnpds.gov.in\|tnpds.gov.in]] (Tamil + English) \|
	+	\| Maharashtra \| [[https://mahafood.gov.in\|mahafood.gov.in]] (Marathi + English) \|
	+	\| Karnataka \| [[https://ahara.kar.nic.in\|ahara.kar.nic.in]] \|
	+	\| Uttar Pradesh \| [[https://fcs.up.gov.in\|fcs.up.gov.in]] \|

	+	\| National (NFSA) \| [[https://nfsa.gov.in\|nfsa.gov.in]] — search by household ID \|
	+	\| SLA \| 30 days under state Civil Supplies Rules \|
	+	\| Statutory base \| National Food Security Act 2013 \|
	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Find your Application Reference Number from the receipt issued at the Tahsil Food Inspector office or the online application acknowledgment.
	+	- Open your state's civil-supplies portal (table above).
	+	- Click Application Status / Track Application / similar.
	+	- Enter Application ID OR Aadhaar OR mobile (depends on state) + captcha.
	+	- Status shows: Submitted → Verified → Approved → Card Issued (or Rejected with reason).
	+	- For an existing card, search by ration card number to confirm name list, entitlement category (AAY / PHH / non-PHH), and FPS allotment.
	+	- Download the e-ration-card PDF if generated (Aadhaar-linked OTP for download).
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Sushila, a 52-year-old domestic worker in Mumbai, applied for an APL → BPL category change after her husband's death. Status said "Pending" for 67 days. She filed an RTI to the Tehsil Food Inspector under §6 asking (a) status of her application, (b) household-verification report, (c) category re-determination criteria, (d) reason for delay, (e) projected issuance. Reply in 22 days revealed the verification officer had marked her case "household composition verification pending" — the Patwari hadn't visited. She physically went to the Patwari office with the RTI reply; visit done in 4 days; card upgraded.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Aadhaar e-KYC not completed for all family members — biggest single reason in 2024-26. Fix: visit FPS for offline biometric e-KYC, OR online via state portal.
	+	* Address-proof rejected — old electricity bill, expired rent agreement. Fix: use latest gas bill, voter ID, or municipal property tax receipt.
	+	* Family composition mismatch — names don't match Aadhaar or birth certificates. Fix: submit affidavit with original certificates.
	+	* Income certificate missing or expired for category claim (BPL/AAY). Fix: get fresh income certificate from Tehsildar (typically 30 days).
	+	* Application stuck at Patwari/BDO verification — field officer hasn't visited. Fix: file RTI; physical follow-up at office.
	+	* Duplicate application flag — system thinks you already have a card under different name. Fix: file RTI for "duplicate-detection report".
	+	* FPS allotment pending — your category is approved but no FPS assigned. Fix: contact District Supply Officer (DSO).
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* Old card lost? Most state portals offer "Duplicate Card" application — Rs. 25-50 fee, 7-15 day delivery. Don't re-apply for new.
	+	* Inter-state migration — surrender old card first via online portal of origin state, then apply at destination. Some states (Maharashtra, Delhi, TN) accept "ONORC" (One Nation One Ration Card) — ration any state with same card.
	+	* Add a member (newborn, marriage, etc.) — separate "Add Member" form on state portal; takes 15-30 days. Don't re-apply for full card.
	+	* Vigilance Committee under NFSA §32 has the right to inspect FPS records. If short delivery, complain to DSO + RTI for FPS register.
	+	* FPS dealer license cancellation is possible for repeated short-delivery — RTI for past complaint records strengthens your case.
	+
	+	===== Helpline + contact =====

	+
	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	* Q: How long does a new ration card take? — 30 days under most state Civil Supplies Rules. In practice: 30-60 days for AAY/BPL (income verification needed), 15-30 days for APL.
	+	* Q: What's the difference between APL, BPL, AAY? — APL = Above Poverty Line (limited entitlement). BPL = Below Poverty Line (35 kg foodgrain/family). AAY = Antyodaya Anna Yojana (poorest of poor; 35 kg + extras).
	+	* Q: Can I have ration cards in two states? — No — illegal duplicate. Surrender the old before applying. ONORC lets you ration in any state with one card.
	+	* Q: My FPS dealer is short-delivering. What should I do? — File grievance at state portal + RTI for FPS allotment register + Vigilance Committee complaint.
	+	* Q: Is ration card mandatory for Aadhaar? — No — but ration card now requires Aadhaar e-KYC for all members (since 2024).

	+	\| State portals \| Examples: TN — etn.tn.nic.in · MH — mahadbtmahait.gov.in · Karnataka — ssp.karnataka.gov.in · UP — scholarship.up.gov.in \|

	+	\| Email \| helpdesk@nsp.gov.in \|
	+	\| Statutory base \| Scheme-specific guidelines (PMS, Post-Matric, Merit-cum-Means, etc.) \|
	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Visit scholarships.gov.in → Login → enter Application ID + Password.
	+	- Status flow: Submitted → Institute Verified → District Verified → State Verified → Approved → Disbursed (DBT to bank).
	+	- For DBT trace: visit pfms.nic.in → Know Your Payment → enter bank account → check credit history.
	+	- For state scholarships: log in to state portal with state-specific ID.
	+	- If status stuck at "Institute Verified" beyond 60 days, contact your college's Scholarship Coordinator.
	+	- If "District Verified" but not Approved beyond 30 days, contact District Welfare Officer (DWO).
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Suresh, a 20-year-old SC engineering student from Bihar, applied for Post-Matric Scholarship (PMS-SC) in 2023. Status said "Institute Verified" for 8 months — no disbursement. He filed an RTI under §6 to State Welfare Department asking (a) application status, (b) institute-verification date, (c) district/state approval status, (d) PFMS DBT trace, (e) reason for hold. Reply in 22 days revealed his college had submitted in wrong financial year category. College re-submitted; full disbursement (Rs. 22,500) credited within 45 days as arrears.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Institute didn't verify — college Scholarship Coordinator delayed verification. Fix: physical visit + escalation to Principal.
	+	* Aadhaar-bank seeding incomplete — DBT routing fails. Fix: visit bank with Aadhaar.
	+	* Income certificate expired — most scholarships need fresh certificate each year. Fix: get new from Tehsildar.
	+	* Caste certificate format issue — old format may not be accepted. Fix: re-issue from Tehsildar.
	+	* Bank account dormant — credit fails. Fix: do a small deposit + transaction.
	+	* Multiple scholarship flag — if you applied for two overlapping schemes, system may hold both. Fix: choose one.
	+	* SAS (Self-Assessment) flag — system thinks family income exceeds threshold. Fix: provide additional income proofs.
	+	* Annual renewal missed — most scholarships need annual renewal even after first sanction. Fix: re-apply on time next year.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* NSP renewal is auto-eligible for continuing students if last year's scholarship was credited — don't need fresh application; just login + click renewal.
	+	* Pre-Matric is for class 1-10; Post-Matric for class 11+ (incl. PG, %%PhD%%). Different schemes apply per category (SC/ST/OBC/Minority/General).
	+	* Merit-cum-Means scholarship for Minorities has extra benefits (book grant, hostel allowance) that auto-add if checked at application.
	+	* State top-up — many states (TN, MH, KL, KA) add state scholarship on top of central. Check state portal.
	+	* PG scholarship for SC/ST by UGC/CSIR — different from NSP, apply separately at ugc.ac.in or csir.res.in.

	+	* Q: Can I get multiple scholarships? — Generally no — most schemes specify "no other scholarship". Check scheme guidelines. Some institute-specific allow combining with central.
	+	* Q: What if my college has not registered on NSP? — College must register first. If they haven't, escalate to State Welfare Dept + UGC/AICTE.
	+	* Q: Is scholarship taxable? — Educational scholarships are exempt under Income Tax Act §10(16) — fully tax-free.
	+	* Q: I missed the application deadline. Any recourse? — NSP deadlines are strict. Some states allow late application via state portal with penalty. Otherwise, wait for next year.

	+
	+	====== How to check TDS refund status — Form 26AS / Income Tax (2026) ======
	+
	+	{{page>snippets:dpdp-banner}}
	+
	+	<WRAP info>Direct answer. Visit incometax.gov.in → Login → e-File → Income Tax Returns → View Form 26AS (or AIS - Annual Information Statement). TDS credits appear by quarter, deductor, and amount. If TDS shown but not credited in your return, file revised return. If TDS deducted but NOT shown in 26AS, deductor failed to deposit.</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== Quick facts =====
	+	\| What you need \| PAN + IT portal login OR mobile + OTP \|
	+	\| Form 26AS \| [[https://www.incometax.gov.in\|incometax.gov.in]] → e-File → View Form 26AS \|

	+	\| Helpline \| 1800-103-0344 (TRACES) · 1800-103-0025 (general IT) \|
	+	\| Statutory base \| Income-tax Act 1961 §192-§206 \|
	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Login at incometax.gov.in.
	+	- Click e-File → View Form 26AS — opens TRACES portal in new tab.
	+	- Form 26AS shows TDS by quarter, by deductor (employer, bank, tenant, contract awarder).
	+	- Compare with your records — Form 16 from employer, TDS certificate from bank, etc.
	+	- For broader view: AIS — shows TDS + AIS reportable transactions (high-value, foreign, etc.).
	+	- If TDS missing: contact deductor (employer/bank) for revised TDS return Form 24Q/26Q.
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Anita, a 33-year-old freelance designer, found her bank had deducted TDS on FD interest of Rs. 12,500 but it wasn't showing in Form 26AS even after 4 months. She filed an RTI to her bank's Branch Manager + CBDT TDS division asking (a) TDS deducted vs deposited, (b) reason for non-reflection in 26AS, (c) revised TDS return status. Bank found their TAN had a typo on the original return. Filed corrected; TDS reflected within 60 days; she included it in her IT return for full refund.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Deductor (employer/bank) didn't file TDS return — quarter-end Form 24Q/26Q late. Fix: chase deductor; RTI to deductor's assessing officer.
	+	* TAN typo in TDS return — credit can't map to your PAN. Fix: deductor files revised return.
	+	* Wrong PAN mentioned by deductor — credit goes to someone else. Fix: deductor revises.
	+	* Section mismatch — TDS reported under wrong section (e.g., 194A vs 194I). Fix: deductor revises.
	+	* Threshold not met — small TDS (< Rs. 5,000 in some categories) may not be deposited if threshold not crossed. Verify.
	+	* Lower deduction certificate issued by AO — TDS less than expected. Verify your application history.
	+	* Year-of-credit issue — TDS shown in wrong AY. Match your accounting year.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* AIS (Annual Information Statement) is broader than 26AS — also shows high-value transactions (FD, mutual fund, real estate, foreign remittance) reported by third parties. Pre-filling your ITR uses AIS.
	+	* Form 16/16A from deductor must match 26AS — discrepancy is auditable. Always reconcile before filing ITR.
	+	* Form 26AS is updated 30-60 days after quarter-end TDS return. Q4 TDS appears typically in Jun-Jul.
	+	* TIS (Taxpayer Information Summary) — simplified version of AIS. Easier reconciliation.
	+	* TDS not deposited (deductor pocketed) — file complaint at TDS-CPC + RTI; deductor faces 3% penalty + prosecution.

	+	The official SLA on this service is published. If your status is stuck beyond it, you have a statutory right under §6 RTI Act 2005 to demand information from the public authority. Reply mandatory in 30 days.
	+
	+	File an RTI to: //CBDT TDS Cell + Deductor's Assessing Officer//
	+
	+	Ask these 5 questions:
	+
	+	- TDS deducted vs deposited reconciliation
	+	- revised TDS return status
	+	- officer-in-charge
	+	- deductor compliance history

	+
	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	* Q: What if TDS shown in Form 16 but not in 26AS? — Deductor (employer) didn't file the quarterly TDS return. Chase HR; if no action, RTI to deductor's AO.
	+	* Q: How long to wait for TDS to reflect? — 60 days from quarter-end TDS return filing.
	+	* Q: What's the difference between 26AS and AIS? — 26AS = TDS history. AIS = 26AS + all reportable financial transactions (FD, MF, real estate, foreign remittance).
	+	* Q: Can I claim TDS missing from 26AS in my return? — Risky — IT department disallows; revised return needed once 26AS is updated. Best to wait.
	+	* Q: Deductor refuses to file TDS return — what to do? — File complaint at TDS-CPC (1800-103-0344) + RTI to deductor's AO + Income Tax penalty proceedings.

	+
	+	{{page>snippets:dpdp-banner}}
	+
	+	<WRAP info>Direct answer. Visit udyamregistration.gov.in → Print/Verify → enter your Udyam Registration Number (URN) or Reference Number. Udyam is free, lifetime-valid, and Aadhaar-OTP-based — no documents needed. Status is typically immediate; certificate downloadable within 24 hours.</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== Quick facts =====
	+	\| What you need \| URN OR Aadhaar OR mobile number \|

	+	\| Email \| champions@gov.in \|
	+	\| Statutory base \| MSMED Act 2006 + 2020 amendment \|
	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Visit udyamregistration.gov.in → Print / Verify.
	+	- Enter URN OR Aadhaar number + OTP.
	+	- Download Udyam Registration Certificate (PDF).
	+	- For new registration: same portal → New Entrepreneur → enter Aadhaar → OTP → fill PAN + business details → certificate generated.
	+	- NSIC-linkage: udyamregistration.gov.in offers NSIC empanelment via the same login.
	+	- Renew/Update: any changes (turnover, employees, address) auto-sync via PAN+GST+ITR data — no manual update needed.
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Pooja, a 32-year-old founder of a small printing business in Pune, applied for Udyam in 2023 to access MSME tenders. Certificate showed but classification was "Micro" instead of "Small" (despite Rs. 5 cr turnover). She filed an RTI to MSME Ministry under §6 asking classification basis + correction process. Reply in 24 days clarified that classification updates automatically via PAN+GST data sync after first ITR filing post-registration. After her FY24 ITR, classification updated to Small; tender eligibility unlocked.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Aadhaar mismatch — name on PAN ≠ Aadhaar. Fix: gazette + re-attempt.
	+	* Mobile not Aadhaar-linked — OTP fails. Fix: visit UIDAI centre.
	+	* Classification disputed — auto-classification by PAN+GST data mismatches business reality. Fix: file RTI for review.
	+	* Multiple Udyam under same Aadhaar — only one allowed per individual.
	+	* PAN-Aadhaar not linked — auto-rejected since 2023. Fix: link first.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* Free + lifetime validity — no renewal, no fees ever. Old EM-II / Udyog Aadhaar got auto-migrated.
	+	* Auto-classification based on annual turnover and investment (from PAN+GST+ITR sync). Re-classification happens automatically.
	+	* MSME benefits unlocked: priority sector lending, government tender preference (25% set-aside for Micro+Small), %%TReDS%% access, late-payment dispute resolution under MSMED Act §15-23.
	+	* 45-day payment rule under MSMED §15 — buyers must pay registered MSMEs within 45 days; otherwise interest @ 3x bank rate.
	+	* SAMADHAAN portal (samadhaan.msme.gov.in) — file delayed-payment complaints; mandatory conciliation + arbitration if needed.

	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	* Q: Is Udyam registration mandatory? — No — but required to claim MSME benefits (priority lending, tender preference, late-payment recourse).
	+	* Q: Can a service business register? — Yes — Udyam covers both manufacturing and services, with same investment + turnover thresholds.
	+	* Q: What's the classification limits (2026)? — Micro: Investment ≤ Rs. 1 cr + Turnover ≤ Rs. 5 cr · Small: ≤ Rs. 10 cr + ≤ Rs. 50 cr · Medium: ≤ Rs. 50 cr + ≤ Rs. 250 cr.
	+	* Q: My buyer hasn't paid for 3 months — what to do? — File complaint at samadhaan.msme.gov.in → mandatory 90-day conciliation → arbitration award if unresolved. Interest @ 3x bank rate.

She filed an RTI under §6 to ERO Bengaluru asking (a) Form 8 status, (b) BLO field-verification status, (c) reason for delay beyond 30-day SLA. Reply in 18 days revealed BLO had visited but flagged "address proof inadequate" without notifying her. She re-submitted with gas bill; transferred to Bengaluru roll within 9 days; voted from her new constituency.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Form 6 / Form 8 ineligibility — under-18, non-citizen, mental incompetence (rare). Fix: re-apply when eligible.
	+	* BLO field verification negative — couldn't locate at address. Fix: ensure name on doorbell/letterbox; submit address proof in re-application.
	+	* Address proof rejected — utility bill > 1 month old, rent agreement not registered. Fix: gas bill, voter ID of family, municipal property tax.
	+	* Photo / signature issue — captured incorrectly. Fix: re-upload via portal.
	+	* Duplicate voter detected — your name exists in another constituency. Fix: Form 7 to delete old entry first.
	+	* Name deleted in special revision — annual roll revision excluded you. Fix: file Form 6 to re-add.
	+	* Death certificate filed by mistake — happens during family bulk-update. Fix: physical visit to ERO with ID + Form 6.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* e-EPIC (PDF voter card) is legally valid for voting since 2021. Show on phone — no need for physical card.
	+	* Voter Helpline App (1950) lets you search electoral roll, file Form 6/7/8/8A, and get election-day reminders.
	+	* Bulk update during pre-election — ECI does intensive enrollment 6-8 months before elections. Best time to apply for new EPIC or correction.
	+	* Special Summary Revision in Sep-Dec each year — your name can be added/deleted. Check electoralsearch.in periodically.
	+	* Postal ballot — eligible for senior citizens (80+), persons with disabilities, essential service workers. Apply via Form 12D before election.

For an update request, enter the 14-digit SRN at myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in. UIDAI's SLA is 90 days for new enrolment, 30 days for updates.</WRAP>

	+	\| Statutory base \| Aadhaar Act 2016 + UIDAI Enrolment Regulations 2016 \|
	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Find your EID/SRN: it's on the receipt slip you got at the enrolment centre. Format: 14-digit number / date / time (e.g., 1234/56789/01234 25/04/2026 14:30).
	+	- For new enrolment status: go to [[https://resident.uidai.gov.in/check-aadhaar-status\|the status portal]]. Enter EID + captcha.
	+	- For update SRN status: go to [[https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in\|myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in]] → Check Update Status → enter SRN.
	+	- If status is "Generated" — download e-Aadhaar from the same portal (free; needs OTP on registered mobile).
	+	- If status is "In Progress" — wait. UIDAI updates every few days.
	+	- If status is "Rejected" — note the rejection reason. Common: biometric mismatch, incorrect demographic data, document mismatch. Re-enrol at any UIDAI centre with corrected details.
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Priya, a 24-year-old MBA student in Pune, applied for an Aadhaar update to change her surname after marriage. SRN status said "In Process" for 119 days. She filed an RTI to UIDAI Bengaluru Regional Office asking (a) SRN current stage, (b) reason for delay beyond 30-day SLA, (c) officer in charge, (d) document deficiency notices issued, (e) projected completion. Reply in 26 days flagged a marriage-certificate format issue she could fix online. Update completed in 9 days after re-upload.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Biometric quality flag — finger/iris capture marked "low quality" by UIDAI back-end. Fix: re-enrol at any UIDAI centre with fresh biometrics.
	+	* Document mismatch — your name on PAN/passport doesn't exactly match the form. UIDAI is strict about full vs initials.
	+	* Quality control hold — 1-2% of enrolments are randomly QC-held. Fix: file an RTI with SRN; usually clears.
	+	* Demographic mismatch with existing Aadhaar — you may already have an Aadhaar under a different EID and didn't know. Fix: 1947 helpline can search by demographic.
	+	* Linked-mobile issue — OTP fails so e-Aadhaar download fails. Fix: visit a centre to update mobile.
	+	* Incomplete update package — you submitted address change but proof of address was rejected. Fix: re-submit with valid %%PoA%%.
	+	* Operator error at enrolment centre — captured wrong data. Common in busy enrolment hours. Fix: re-enrolment + RTI to the centre operator.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* Use Order Aadhaar Reprint (Rs. 50) instead of waiting for status — gets a physical card delivered in 5-7 days.
	+	* The mAadhaar app stores up to 5 family Aadhaars and works offline once downloaded — no need to wait for "physical card".
	+	* To verify your Aadhaar is active and unmasked, use the %%eKYC%% verification at any bank/post office — instant.
	+	* Lost your EID receipt? Visit a UIDAI centre with mobile + ID — they can retrieve via demographic search; saves the re-enrol fee.
	+	* If 1947 helpline is busy, %%WhatsApp%% UIDAI on 9311471234 — official channel, often faster reply.

	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	* Q: How long does Aadhaar enrolment take? — 90 days max per UIDAI regulations. Most generate in 2-4 weeks.
	+	* Q: Can I get my Aadhaar number via SMS? — Yes — SMS "GETAADHAARNO" + your EID number to 1947 from your registered mobile.
	+	* Q: Is there a fee to check status? — No, all status checks are free. Only Order Aadhaar Reprint (Rs. 50) and biometric updates (Rs. 100) cost.
	+	* Q: What if my mobile is no longer accessible? — Visit the nearest UIDAI Aadhaar Seva Kendra with original ID — they can update mobile after biometric verification (Rs. 50).
	+	* Q: Is Aadhaar mandatory for everything? — No — Supreme Court (Puttaswamy 2018) limited mandatory Aadhaar to PAN linkage, IT Act notified services, and welfare scheme delivery. For most private services, Aadhaar is optional.

	+	- If eligible, your family's details show with Rs. 5 lakh coverage indicator.
	+	- Click Download e-Card — PDF with Aadhaar-OTP-protected card.
	+	- For hospital admission: present e-card or PMJAY ID to the Pradhan Mantri Aarogya Mitra at the empanelled hospital. Cashless treatment via TPA.
	+	- For claim status post-discharge: ask hospital for the claim ID. State Health Agency (SHA) tracks claims; typical settlement 30-90 days.
	+	- If not in eligibility list, check State Health Agency for additional state-only schemes (Mukhyamantri Jan Arogya, etc.).
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Geeta, a 38-year-old domestic worker in Mumbai, took her father (heart attack) to a PMJAY-empanelled hospital. Hospital claimed her father wasn't eligible despite SECC inclusion. Discharge bill: Rs. 1.4 lakh. She filed an RTI to State Health Agency Maharashtra under §6 asking (a) father's eligibility status, (b) hospital empanelment criteria, (c) why pre-auth was rejected, (d) appeal mechanism. Reply in 24 days confirmed eligibility and revealed hospital had wrongly classified the case as "non-emergency". Reimbursement of Rs. 1.2 lakh processed in 35 days.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Not in SECC 2011 — primary eligibility base. Some states added post-SECC categories (e.g., Maharashtra added construction workers). Check state-specific.
	+	* Aadhaar-mobile mismatch — family verification fails. Fix: link Aadhaar with mobile via UIDAI.
	+	* Hospital not empanelled for that procedure — check hospitals.pmjay.gov.in for procedure-wise list.
	+	* Pre-authorisation rejected — hospital didn't submit pre-auth on time, or TPA rejected. Fix: appeal via SHA.
	+	* Treatment not in PMJAY package list — only listed procedures covered (1,800+ packages). Check at hospitals.pmjay.gov.in.
	+	* Annual cap reached — Rs. 5 lakh/family/year used up. Reset on April 1.
	+	* Migration / cross-state — PMJAY allows portability (treatment in any state with home-state card), but some hospitals don't recognise portability. RTI for SHA portability policy.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* ABHA ID (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) is a separate health-record ID — different from PMJAY. Get free at abha.abdm.gov.in.
	+	* Pradhan Mantri Aarogya Mitra (PMAM) at every empanelled hospital — they verify eligibility + pre-auth on the spot. Always go to PMAM first.
	+	* Reimbursement (post-payment) claims are possible if you paid first — file with SHA within 30 days of discharge with all bills + hospital empanelment proof.
	+	* State top-ups — Maharashtra, Punjab, MP add their own state schemes layered on PMJAY (e.g., Maharashtra MJPJAY adds Rs. 1.5 L extra). Check state-specific.
	+	* Senior Citizens (70+) — universal coverage announced 2024; no SECC requirement. Apply at beneficiary.nha.gov.in.

	+	* Q: What if my hospital demands payment? — Refuse + insist on PMAM contact. If they still insist, file complaint with SHA + RTI for hospital empanelment terms.
	+	* Q: Is dental and OPD covered? — OPD generally NOT covered. Dental only for accident-related, not routine. Mental health limited.

	+	- Status shows: Submitted → Verified → Approved → Certificate Issued.
	+	- For state-specific tracking, use state portal (table above).

	+	- For late registration: Form 1 (1-year) or affidavit + magistrate order (beyond 1 year).
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Sumitra, a 33-year-old mother in rural Madhya Pradesh, gave birth at home in 2023. She tried to register the birth 8 months later. Initial application was lost. She filed an RTI to Municipal Registrar asking for application receipt + registration status + late-registration procedure. Reply in 18 days walked her through Form 1 + Rs. 25 late fee + sworn affidavit. Birth certificate issued in 21 days. Used the certificate for school admission.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Hospital didn't notify — most home/private hospital births. Fix: parent must apply within 21 days.
	+	* Beyond 21 days — Form 1 with late fee Rs. 5-50.
	+	* Beyond 1 year — magistrate order required (Form 4 + affidavit).
	+	* Wrong tehsil — birth must be registered where it occurred, not residence.
	+	* Father-name dispute — single mother, separated parents. Fix: affidavit + DNA option in some states.
	+	* Spelling errors — correction via Form 8 (typically 30 days).
	+	* Hospital report (Form 4) missing — discharge summary not submitted by hospital. Fix: get it from hospital + submit.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* Universal birth registration is free within 21 days. Late registration has nominal fees.
	+	* RBD (Amendment) Act 2023 mandates digital register — death and birth records now centrally databased.
	+	* Aadhaar enrollment for newborn — possible from birth (with parents' Aadhaar). Helps for school admission, health insurance.
	+	* Insurance / inheritance / school admission / passport — all need birth certificate. Get it within 21 days.
	+	* Inter-state birth — register at place of birth. Address change happens later via Aadhaar.

	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Ms. Devi, a 71-year-old central govt pensioner in Hyderabad, lost her CGHS card. Tried to apply for replacement; status said "Pending verification" for 47 days. She filed an RTI to AD-CGHS Hyderabad asking application status + officer-in-charge + reason for delay. Reply in 23 days revealed her %%HoO%% endorsement was missing (DD signature pending). She got endorsement; replacement card issued in 12 days.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* %%HoO%% endorsement missing — for new/replacement cards. Fix: get %%HoO%% Form 1 signed.
	+	* Family addition issue — newborn/spouse not in card. Fix: separate addition application.
	+	* City transfer — moved to new city; old card invalid. Fix: transfer application via CGHS Wellness Centre.
	+	* Empanelment change — your usual hospital de-empanelled. Fix: check current list; switch hospitals.
	+	* Claim rejection — wrong package, missing pre-auth. Fix: appeal via AD-CGHS.
	+	* Annual subscription unpaid for pensioners — Rs. 1,000-3,000/year. Fix: pay online at cghs.gov.in.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* My CGHS app lets you book OPD appointments at Wellness Centres + see medical history + track claims.
	+	* Empanelment changes every 3-6 months — check before going to a hospital. Some big private hospitals (Apollo, Fortis, Max) regularly empanel/de-empanel.
	+	* Pre-authorisation required for non-emergency hospitalisation > Rs. 50,000. Get it via CGHS Wellness Centre or directly from hospital's CGHS desk.
	+	* Cashless not available? — pay first + claim reimbursement via Form Med-97 within 6 months. Approval typically 60-180 days.
	+	* Generic medicine substitution — CGHS dispensaries push generics; if you need branded, get specific prescription from CGHS doctor.

	+	- Status shows current stage: Submitted → Assigned → Under Investigation → Closed.

	+	- For state-level cyber cell complaints: each state has its own portal too (e.g., Maharashtra Cyber).
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Pradeep, a 45-year-old businessman in Pune, lost Rs. 2.8 lakh to a UPI scam (impersonator pretending to be his bank manager). He called 1930 within 4 hours and filed online complaint at cybercrime.gov.in. Status said "Under Investigation" for 41 days with no recovery update. He filed an RTI to Cyber Cell Pune asking complaint status + money-trail freeze status + recovery process. Reply in 26 days revealed Rs. 1.8 lakh had been frozen at the receiving bank but recovery proceedings hadn't started. He pushed via state Lokayukta + courts; recovered Rs. 1.6 lakh in 4 months.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Wrong category selected — system can't route correctly. Fix: re-file under correct category (Women/Children, Financial, Other).
	+	* Insufficient evidence — screenshots, transaction details missing. Fix: attach all via portal.
	+	* Police didn't register FIR — convert online complaint to FIR via §156(3) magistrate complaint.
	+	* Cross-jurisdiction issue — fraudster in different state. Fix: I4C coordinates; or file in fraudster's jurisdiction.
	+	* Account-freeze missed 24-hour window — recovery becomes harder. Fix: still file; partial recovery possible.
	+	* Same-day filing at bank vs NCRP — inconsistency. Bank gets priority for liability protection (RBI rules).
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most don't know =====
	+	* 1930 within 24 hours of fraud is the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT step — police can freeze receiver bank account if reported fast. Recovery rate drops dramatically after 24 hours.
	+	* Sakhi One Stop Centre (181) — for women victims of cyber harassment.
	+	* Bank liability under RBI 2017 framework: for unauthorized transactions, bank is liable for full amount IF you report within 3 working days.
	+	* FIR vs online complaint: NCRP complaint is NOT a FIR. For FIR, escalate to local PS or §156(3) magistrate complaint.
	+	* Crypto fraud / NFT scams — file at NCRP under "Other Cybercrime"; specialized cells in major cities.
	+

	+	* Q: How to convert NCRP complaint to FIR? — Visit local PS with NCRP acknowledgment + evidence; if PS refuses, file §156(3) magistrate complaint.
	+	* Q: Anonymous reporting? — Yes — NCRP allows anonymous complaints (lower priority but accepted).
	+	* Q: Is online complaint legally same as FIR? — No — NCRP is a complaint registration; FIR requires PS registration under %%CrPC%% §154.
