	+	===== How to check PMAY-G (Gramin / rural) status =====
	+
	+	- Open [[https://awaassoft.nic.in\|awaassoft.nic.in]] in your browser.
	+	- In the top menu, click "Stakeholders" → choose "IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary".
	+	- On the next page enter:
	+	* Your 17-digit Registration Number (printed on your sanction letter), OR
	+	* Click "Advanced Search" → enter State → District → Block → Panchayat → Year → name + father's name.
	+	- Click "Submit". The status screen shows:
	+	* SECC eligibility → Verification → Sanction → 1st instalment → Foundation geo-tag → 2nd instalment → Lintel → 3rd instalment → Roof / Completion → Geo-tag final → Final instalment.
	+	- Each step shows a date stamp. Take a screenshot for your records.
	+
	+	==== If you don't know your Registration Number ====
	+
	+	* Ask your Panchayat Secretary / Block Development Officer (BDO) — they hold the master beneficiary list.
	+	* Check the MIS reports at [[https://awaassoft.nic.in\|awaassoft.nic.in]] → Reports → Beneficiary → State-wise.
	+	* File an RTI to the BDO asking for the full beneficiary list of your panchayat — see the section below.
	+
	+	===== How to check PMAY-U / PMAY-U 2.0 (Urban) status =====
	+
	+	- Open [[https://pmay-urban.gov.in\|pmay-urban.gov.in]] (new 2024 portal) — or the legacy mirror at pmaymis.gov.in.
	+	- Click "Search Beneficiary" in the top right.
	+	- Enter:
	+	* Name + Father's name + State (most common search), OR
	+	* Aadhaar number (if you opted-in for Aadhaar-based search), OR
	+	* Application Reference Number from your sanction letter.
	+	- The result shows your status across the 8 stages: Application → Verified → Sanction → 1st tranche → Construction → 2nd tranche → Final tranche → Completion + DBT.
	+
	+	==== Income-band check ====
	+
	+	PMAY-U 2.0 verticals (you'll be slotted into one):
	+	* Beneficiary-Led Construction (BLC) — you own land; up to ₹2.50 lakh subsidy.
	+	* Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP) — government builds; you buy at subsidised rate.
	+	* Affordable Rental Housing Complex (ARHC) — rental for migrants.
	+	* Interest Subsidy Scheme (ISS) — CLSS-style interest subsidy on home loans up to ₹25 lakh value (rolled out under 2.0).
	+
	+	===== Frequently used PMAY search terms (and what they mean) =====
	+
	+	If you typed any of these into Google, this is the page you want:

	+	* pmayg / pmay-g / pmyg / pmaug / pmayag / pamyg / mpayg / p m a y g — all spellings of PMAY-G (Gramin/rural). Use [[https://pmayg.nic.in\|pmayg.nic.in]].
	+	* pmayg nic in / pmayg.nic.in / pmayg.nic.in list — official PMAY-G portal. Same database as awaassoft.nic.in.
	+	* iay/pmayg beneficiary status / iay pmayg beneficiary gramin — IAY (Indira Awas Yojana) was merged into PMAY-G in 2016. The portal still uses the IAY/PMAYG label; same beneficiary list.
	+	* pmay beneficiary list check 2026 / pmay beneficiary status 2026 — village/panchayat-wise list at [[https://pmayg.nic.in\|pmayg.nic.in]] -> AwaasSoft -> Reports -> Beneficiary Details -> pick state/district/block/panchayat.
	+	* pmay status check with aadhar — both portals accept Aadhaar lookup. PMAY-G: by Registration Number OR Aadhaar. PMAY-U 2.0: by name + state + Aadhaar.
	+	* pmaya beneficiary list / pmaug status / pmyag list — common misspellings; all refer to the same PMAY beneficiary list above.
	+

	+	===== If you're not in the beneficiary list =====
	+
	+	- Verify SECC 2011 inclusion at [[https://secc.gov.in\|secc.gov.in]] — type your village/ward → check your name. Most rural exclusions trace here.
	+	- State Permanent Wait List (SPWL) — Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Telangana have post-SECC additions. Apply via your Tehsildar/BDO.
	+	- PMAY-U 2.0 fresh applications — applications open in 4 phases starting 1 Sept 2024. State Urban Development Authority (DUDA) accepts walk-in applications in most states.
	+	- File an RTI — see below for the auto-drafted format.
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Lakshmi, a 45-year-old widow in rural Andhra Pradesh, was approved for PMAY-G in 2022. By 2025 she had received only the first instalment of ₹35,000 of the ₹1.20 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 (the village Patwari hadn't visited). Patwari visited within 6 days; remaining instalments released within 30 days. Total RTI cost: ₹10.
	+
	+	===== 8 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+
	+	* SECC 2011 ineligibility (Gramin) — you're not in the SECC list. Most common cause for "Not Eligible". Fix: state-specific post-SECC verification (Maharashtra Awas Yojana, TN CMAY, Kerala LIFE).
	+	* Income exceeds threshold (Urban) — EWS ≤ ₹3 L, LIG ₹3–6 L, MIG-1 ₹6–12 L, MIG-2 ₹12–18 L. Verify on your ITR before rejecting; sometimes outdated income data is on file.
	+	* Already own a house in any name in India (joint ownership counts) — automatic disqualification.
	+	* Land record issue (Gramin) — you must own (or be in legal possession of) the land. Patta/khasra mismatch blocks sanction.
	+	* Aadhaar–bank linkage missing — 2nd / 3rd instalments hold without DBT linkage. Visit branch with Aadhaar to seed.
	+	* Geo-tag mandate — instalments freeze if Patwari/Junior Engineer hasn't uploaded foundation/lintel/roof photos via AwaasApp. Most common silent blocker.
	+	* Beneficiary contribution unpaid — many states require ₹5,000–25,000 from the beneficiary towards toilet/electricals. Often confused with the central subsidy.
	+	* Beneficiary list manipulation at panchayat level — fake beneficiaries inserted, real ones excluded. RTI for the full beneficiary list of your panchayat exposes it.
	+
	+	===== Pro tips most people don't know =====
	+
	+	* MGNREGA convergence — 90 person-days of MGNREGA wages (~₹22,000–28,000) are payable for the labour component of your house construction. Most beneficiaries don't claim it. Apply at your Gram Panchayat with MGNREGA job card.
	+	* Soak-pit / toilet under SBM — ₹12,000 from Swachh Bharat Mission for the toilet inside your PMAY-G house, separate from the ₹1.20 lakh main subsidy.
	+	* CLSS / Interest Subsidy Scheme — apply via your bank, not via state portal. Bank submits to NHB/HUDCO. Interest subsidy is credited up-front to reduce loan principal.
	+	* Geo-tagged photos — track your house on AwaasSoft → Reports → Photo Album. If photos are missing, your Patwari/JE hasn't uploaded — escalate.
	+	* PMAY-G eligibility post-2018 — even if not in original SECC, members of the Awas+ list (added via 2018 survey app) are now valid beneficiaries. Check at awaassoft.
	+	* NRC and PMAY — Aadhaar is mandatory; NRC linkage doesn't apply for PMAY.
	+
	+	===== Decision tree — what to do based on status =====
	+
	+	\| Status shows \| What to do \|
	+	\| Eligible — Sanctioned \| Wait for 1st instalment (typically 30 days post-sanction). \|
	+	\| Eligible — Not yet sanctioned \| If 90+ days have passed → file RTI to BDO/CMO. \|
	+	\| Sanctioned — 1st instalment held \| Check Aadhaar–bank link → branch visit. \|
	+	\| 1st released, foundation done — 2nd held \| Geo-tag pending — escalate to Patwari/JE. \|
	+	\| Construction complete — final not released \| Final geo-tag inspection pending — request from BDO/CMO. \|
	+	\| Status: "Not Eligible" \| Verify SECC inclusion. If wrongly excluded → SPWL representation + RTI for grounds of exclusion. \|
	+	\| Status: "Application not found" \| Re-search with name variants, or via Aadhaar — common with old data. \|
	+
	+	===== If status is delayed beyond SLA — file an RTI (free, 30-day reply rule) =====
	+
	+	The published SLA is 60–90 days for sanction. If your status is stuck beyond it, you have a statutory right under §6 RTI Act, 2005 to demand information from the public authority. The authority must reply within 30 days (§7(1)). Default fee is ₹10; BPL applicants pay nothing (§7(5)).
	+
	+	File an RTI to: //BDO (rural) / Town Planning + CMO (urban) / State Mission Director PMAY//
	+
	+	Ask these 7 questions:
	+
	+	- SECC 2011 / Awas+ eligibility category and inclusion date.
	+	- Beneficiary list inclusion date and panchayat/ward serial number.
	+	- All instalments released — dates and amounts (with bank account credited).
	+	- Geo-tag verification status — foundation / lintel / roof / completion (with inspecting officer name).
	+	- Reason for delay or deduction in any instalment, if applicable.
	+	- Officer-in-charge of my application — name, designation, contact.
	+	- For PMAY-U: convergence with CLSS / ISS interest subsidy — applied / pending / disbursed.

	+
	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+
	+	==== Am I eligible for PMAY-G if my name is not in SECC 2011? ====
	+	Most often no — but several states (Maharashtra Awas Yojana, TN CMAY, Kerala LIFE, Telangana Double Bedroom) have separate post-SECC mechanisms. If you were added through the Awas+ 2018 survey app, you're eligible under PMAY-G expansion. Check your status at awaassoft.nic.in.
	+
	+	==== How can I check PMAY status by mobile number? ====
	+	Direct mobile-only search not supported by official portals. You need: Registration Number (Gramin) OR Application Reference Number (Urban) OR name + father's name + state. Mobile number is used only for OTP verification during status look-up at pmay-urban.gov.in.
	+
	+	==== How can I check PMAY status by Aadhaar? ====
	+	PMAY-G: enter Aadhaar in "Advanced Search" at awaassoft.nic.in. PMAY-U 2.0: tab "Aadhaar" at pmay-urban.gov.in → 12 digits + OTP. Confirms identity but search still needs your Aadhaar to be linked to your application.
	+
	+	==== How to check PMAY status village-wise? ====
	+	Visit awaassoft.nic.in → Reports → Beneficiary → State-wise → drill down to State → District → Block → Panchayat → click "Beneficiary List". Excel + PDF download. See [[:pmay-beneficiary-list\|full beneficiary list guide]].
	+
	+	==== How much subsidy do I get under PMAY-U Interest Subsidy Scheme (ISS)? ====
	+	Under PMAY-U 2.0 ISS (rolled out from 1 Sept 2024): EWS/LIG get up to 5% interest subsidy on home loans up to ₹25 lakh value, with a maximum subsidy of ₹1.80 lakh disbursed in 5 instalments over 5 years. CLSS-MIG closed in March 2022 and is not part of PMAY 2.0.
	+
	+	==== Can NRIs get PMAY? ====
	+	No — PMAY is for Indian residents only. NRI status disqualifies. Aadhaar-based authentication is mandatory.
	+
	+	==== What if my house was completed 2 years ago but no completion certificate issued? ====
	+	File an RTI to BDO/CMO for: (a) completion certificate status, (b) final geo-tag verification report, (c) inspecting officer name and inspection date. Most "stuck completion" cases resolve once the final geo-tag photo is uploaded by the Patwari/JE.
	+
	+	==== Can I get PMAY for an extension to an existing house? ====
	+	No — only for new construction or upgradation of kutcha / semi-pucca to pucca. If you already have a pucca house, you're disqualified. Adding a floor or extension is not covered.
	+
	+	==== I changed my Aadhaar mobile number. Does it affect PMAY status? ====
	+	No — your PMAY record is keyed to Aadhaar number + bank account. Mobile number change doesn't affect status check, but UPI/SMS notifications won't reach the new number until you update with the bank.
	+
	+	==== Can a woman head-of-family apply alone if her husband is alive but separated? ====
	+	Yes — PMAY mandates that the house be in the woman's name (or jointly with husband) under both Gramin and Urban. Separated women, widows, single mothers can apply directly. Father's name + age + Aadhaar required.
	+
	+	==== Is Aadhaar mandatory for PMAY? ====
	+	Yes — Aadhaar (or Aadhaar enrolment number with proof of enrolment) is mandatory under both Gramin and Urban. Without Aadhaar–bank link, DBT instalments cannot be released.
	+
	+	==== What is the difference between PMAY-G and IAY? ====
	+	Indira Awas Yojana (IAY) was the predecessor scheme (1985–2016). PMAY-G replaced IAY on 1 April 2016 with revised guidelines: SECC-based eligibility, higher subsidy, geo-tagging, DBT, MGNREGA convergence.
	+
	+	==== My status shows "Sanctioned" but I haven't received money for 6 months. What now? ====
	+	File RTI to BDO under §6 for: instalment release dates, bank account credited, reason for non-receipt. 30-day mandatory reply. If money was released but didn't reach you → it's a bank/DBT issue (file complaint with bank under RBI ombudsman). If not released → it's an administrative issue (file First Appeal under §19(1) on Day 31 if PIO doesn't reply).
	+
	+	==== Can I check status from a mobile app? ====
	+	AwaasApp on Google Play is for field officers to upload geo-tagged photos. For citizens, the easiest mobile route is the same web portal at awaassoft.nic.in — it's mobile-responsive. Apps from third parties claiming to "check PMAY status" are unofficial — avoid sharing Aadhaar.
	+
	+	==== What documents prove my eligibility for the next instalment? ====
	+	For Gramin: bank passbook + Aadhaar + sanction letter + geo-tagged construction photos (uploaded by Patwari). For Urban: same plus CLSS form 1B if claiming interest subsidy.
	+
	+	==== Is there a Hindi version of this guide? ====
	+	Hindi version coming soon — meanwhile, every PMAY-G + PMAY-U portal supports Hindi. Bookmark [[https://awaassoft.nic.in\|awaassoft.nic.in]] (toggles to Hindi) and use our [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/awaaz-rti.html\|🎤 AwaazRTI]] tool to file RTI in Hindi if your status is stuck.
	+
	+	==== I'm a senior citizen 70+. Do I get PMAY priority? ====
	+	Senior citizens are not specifically prioritised in PMAY-G eligibility (SECC-based). But PMAY-U 2.0 has a special tranche for 70+ EWS applicants. Plus, every 70+ citizen is automatically eligible for [[:ayushman-bharat-benefits-2026\|Ayushman Bharat ₹5 lakh free hospital cover]] since October 2024.
	+
	+	===== Summary — what to do next =====

	+
	+	====== How to check property mutation (dakhil-kharij) status (2026) ======
	+
	+	{{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>
	+
	+	===== Quick facts =====
	+	\| What you need \| Application/case number OR khasra/khata number \|

	+	\| Helpline \| State revenue dept toll-free numbers vary \|
	+	\| Statutory base \| State Land Revenue Codes (Karnataka 1964, Maharashtra 1966, UP 2016, etc.) \|
	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Identify your Application Reference Number from the receipt issued at Tehsildar / online application.
	+	- Open your state's revenue portal (table above).
	+	- Click Mutation Status / Track Application / similar.
	+	- Enter Application Number OR Khasra/Khata Number.
	+	- Status flow: Submitted → Patwari Field Verification → Tehsildar Review → Approved → Khata Updated.
	+	- For new %%RoR%% (Record of Rights) certificate post-mutation, download from same portal (free) or get certified copy.
	+
	+	===== 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 =====
	+	State revenue dept helplines vary (e.g., MH 1800-22-9988, Karnataka 080-22230892) · Bhulekh portals · Tehsildar office direct
	+
	+	===== 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: //Tehsildar / Sub-Registrar//
	+
	+	Ask these 5 questions:
	+
	+	- application status by reference
	+	- Patwari verification status
	+	- objections raised
	+	- reason for delay beyond statutory rule
	+	- projected completion

	+
	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	* Q: How long does mutation take? — 45-90 days under state revenue codes. In practice, 60-180 days; faster with online application + e-mutation enabled.
	+	* Q: Is mutation required after sale? — Yes — without mutation, you can't pay property tax in your name, get utility connections, or sell onward smoothly.
	+	* 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.
	+	* Q: How to get %%RoR%% (Record of Rights) certified? — Download from state Bhulekh portal; physical certified copy from Tehsildar (Rs. 10-50).

How to check ration card status

	+
	+	====== How to check ration card status ======
	+	{{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 =====

	+	\| 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 =====
	+	National toll-free: 1967 (NFSA grievance) · State helplines: TN 1967 · MH 1800-22-4950 · UP 1800-180-0150 · Bihar 1800-3456-194 · Delhi 1800-11-0841

	+
	+	===== 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).

	+	===== 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.

	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Visit foscos.fssai.gov.in → Track Application.
	+	- Enter Reference Number + captcha.
	+	- Status shows: Application → Inspection Scheduled → Inspection Done → Approved / Issued.
	+	- If "Inspection Pending" beyond 30 days, contact Designated Officer of your district.
	+	- If issued, download licence PDF (digitally signed).
	+	- For renewal: same portal → Apply → Renewal → submit before expiry (no late renewal allowed).
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Sneha, a 29-year-old founder of a small bakery in Bengaluru, applied for FSSAI State Licence. Status said "Pending Inspection" for 78 days despite 60-day SLA. She filed an RTI to FSSAI Karnataka Designated Officer asking inspection status + reason for delay + projected issuance. Reply in 22 days revealed inspector visit was scheduled but cancelled twice without notice. Inspection done in 9 days; licence issued in 18 days.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Inspection pending — most common. Fix: physical visit to Designated Officer + RTI.
	+	* Sample test failed (for high-risk food: dairy, meat). Fix: address quality issue + re-apply.
	+	* 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.

	+	* 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.

	+
	+	<WRAP info>Direct answer. Visit eshram.gov.in → Already Registered → Login with UAN + DOB OR mobile + OTP. e-Shram card is free, lifetime-valid, and provides automatic enrollment in PMSBY (Rs. 2 lakh accident insurance) for unorganised workers.</WRAP>

	+	\| What you need \| Aadhaar + Aadhaar-linked mobile + bank account \|
	+	\| Official portal \| [[https://eshram.gov.in\|eshram.gov.in]] \|

	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Visit eshram.gov.in → Already Registered? → Update / Download Card.
	+	- Login with UAN (12 digits) + DOB OR mobile OTP.
	+	- Status shows: Active, Card Issued, Insurance Linked.
	+	- Download e-Shram card PDF (Aadhaar-OTP-protected).
	+	- 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).
	+	* Q: Do I get PMJJBY (life insurance)? — Not automatically. Apply separately via your bank (Rs. 436/year for Rs. 2 lakh life cover).

Status shows installments paid, %%eKYC%% completion, land-record linkage.

	+	===== 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: How often is PM-KISAN paid? — 3 installments of Rs. 2,000 each per year (every 4 months — typically Apr-Jul, Aug-Nov, Dec-Mar).
	+	* 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).

	+	\| Statutory base \| Income-tax Act 1961 §139 + §143 \|
	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Log in to incometax.gov.in → e-File → View Filed Returns → select AY.
	+	- Refund status shows: Processed → Refund Issued → Bank Credit (with date).
	+	- For deeper trace: tin.tin.nsdl.com → Refund Status → enter PAN + AY → CIN/UTR for bank trace.
	+	- If status is "Refund Issued" but not credited — check bank account is pre-validated at incometax.gov.in (Profile → My Bank Account).
	+	- 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.

How to check police verification status

	+
	+	====== How to check police verification status ======
	+	{{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>

	+	\| 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.

	+	* 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.

	+
	+	{{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>

	+	\| Statutory base \| State Land Revenue Codes (Karnataka 1964, Maharashtra 1966, UP 2016, etc.) \|
	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Identify your Application Reference Number from the receipt issued at Tehsildar / online application.
	+	- Open your state's revenue portal (table above).
	+	- Click Mutation Status / Track Application / similar.
	+	- Enter Application Number OR Khasra/Khata Number.
	+	- Status flow: Submitted → Patwari Field Verification → Tehsildar Review → Approved → Khata Updated.
	+	- For new %%RoR%% (Record of Rights) certificate post-mutation, download from same portal (free) or get certified copy.
	+
	+	===== 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.

	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	* Q: How long does mutation take? — 45-90 days under state revenue codes. In practice, 60-180 days; faster with online application + e-mutation enabled.
	+	* Q: Is mutation required after sale? — Yes — without mutation, you can't pay property tax in your name, get utility connections, or sell onward smoothly.
	+	* 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.
	+	* Q: How to get %%RoR%% (Record of Rights) certified? — Download from state Bhulekh portal; physical certified copy from Tehsildar (Rs. 10-50).

	+	\| 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.

	+
	+	===== 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).

	+
	+	===== 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.

	+
	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	* Q: How long does scholarship take? — Highly variable. Central PMS-SC: 90-180 days first year. State scholarships: 60-150 days. Renewal: 30-60 days.
	+	* 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.

	+	\| Official portal \| [[https://foscos.fssai.gov.in\|foscos.fssai.gov.in]] \|
	+	\| Cost \| Rs. 100 (Basic Registration) · Rs. 2,000-7,500 (State Licence) · Rs. 7,500 (Central Licence) \|

	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Visit foscos.fssai.gov.in → Track Application.
	+	- Enter Reference Number + captcha.
	+	- Status shows: Application → Inspection Scheduled → Inspection Done → Approved / Issued.
	+	- If "Inspection Pending" beyond 30 days, contact Designated Officer of your district.
	+	- If issued, download licence PDF (digitally signed).
	+	- For renewal: same portal → Apply → Renewal → submit before expiry (no late renewal allowed).
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Sneha, a 29-year-old founder of a small bakery in Bengaluru, applied for FSSAI State Licence. Status said "Pending Inspection" for 78 days despite 60-day SLA. She filed an RTI to FSSAI Karnataka Designated Officer asking inspection status + reason for delay + projected issuance. Reply in 22 days revealed inspector visit was scheduled but cancelled twice without notice. Inspection done in 9 days; licence issued in 18 days.
	+
	+	===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
	+	* Inspection pending — most common. Fix: physical visit to Designated Officer + RTI.
	+	* Sample test failed (for high-risk food: dairy, meat). Fix: address quality issue + re-apply.
	+	* 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.

	+
	+	===== 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.

	+
	+	===== 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).
	+	* Q: Do I get PMJJBY (life insurance)? — Not automatically. Apply separately via your bank (Rs. 436/year for Rs. 2 lakh life cover).
