	+
	+	<WRAP info>
	+	Quick answer: Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) eligibility is driven by SECC 2011 deprivation list (rural) / occupational categories (urban). If not listed: state-supplementary schemes (CMCHIS in TN, MJPJAY in MH, ABRY in WB, etc.) cover most of the gap. Sept 2024 expansion: senior 70+ auto-eligible regardless of income. RTI for SECC 2011 listing.
	+	</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== Top reasons for rejection =====
	+	* Not in SECC 2011 list — most common. Apply for state-supplementary scheme.
	+	* Aadhaar mismatch with SECC — name spelling differs. Update Aadhaar.
	+	* Already in another family's card — happens with married daughters; remove + re-add to current family.
	+	* Senior citizen 70+ rejected — Sept 2024 norm not yet in your state. Appeal to State Health Agency (SHA).
	+	* Empanelled hospital denied — hospital error, not eligibility. NHA grievance portal.
	+
	+	===== 7-step recovery checklist =====
	+	- Verify SECC 2011 listing — beneficiary.nha.gov.in → search by name + state. Note ration card number too.
	+	- If not in SECC — try state scheme — TN: CMCHIS · MH: MJPJAY · KA: ABARK · WB: ABRY · KL: KASP · etc. Convergence with PMJAY in 28 states.
	+	- Senior 70+ — apply via beneficiary.nha.gov.in — Sept 2024 norm. Aadhaar + age proof (passport / 10th cert / pension order).
	+	- Aadhaar name mismatch fix — Update Aadhaar to match SECC name OR vice-versa. SECC corrections via State Health Agency.
	+	- In wrong family's card — Visit nearest CSC / Ayushman Mitra. Remove from old family, add to current.
	+	- Hospital denied cashless — NHA grievance portal: pmjay.gov.in/grievances → 7-day disposal. Or call 14555.
	+	- Appeal to State Health Agency — Each state has SHA. Free. Cite PMJAY operational guidelines.
	+	- RTI to NHA + SHA — For: SECC ranking, exclusion rationale, hospital empanelment status.
	+
	+	===== Appeal route, window, and fee =====
	+	* Statutory appeal route: PMJAY grievance: Hospital → SHA (state) → NHA (national) → CPGRAMS.
	+	* Appeal window: 30 days at each level
	+	* Fee: Free at all stages.
	+
	+	===== Documents to fix or upgrade =====
	+	* Updated Aadhaar (matching SECC name)
	+	* Ration card
	+	* Age proof (for 70+ extension)
	+
	+	===== File an RTI in parallel — most rejections clear within 15 days =====
	+
	+	Government rejection orders often lack actual rationale. RTI brings out the file noting + officer name + actual basis — and that visibility usually resolves the case. Use this template:
	+
	+	<code>
	+	1. Copy of the rejection order + complete file noting on application no. _____ dated _____.
	+	2. Name + designation of the officer who took the rejection decision.
	+	3. Specific Section / Rule / Circular under which rejection was made + supporting evidence relied upon.
	+	4. Number of similar applications in the past 12 months that were (a) approved, (b) rejected — for the same officer.
	+	5. The procedure + timeline for filing an appeal + the office of the appellate authority.

	+
	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	==== SECC 2011 doesn't reflect current poverty. Update? ====
	+	SECC 2021 census data not yet released as official deprivation list. Use state schemes meantime.
	+
	+	==== I have private insurance + PMJAY — both work? ====
	+	Yes — PMJAY is supplementary. Private covers OPD/elective; PMJAY covers IP-emergency at Rs 5L.
	+
	+	==== Pre-existing illness — covered from day 1? ====
	+	Yes — no waiting period under PMJAY.
	+
	+	==== Hospital said "not empanelled today" — fix? ====
	+	Empanelment can pause for compliance. Try another empanelled hospital OR pay + claim reimbursement (limited under PMJAY).
	+
	+	==== SHA rejected appeal — final option? ====
	+	NHA + Health Ministry. Critical illness: writ to HC under Article 21.
	+
	+	===== Summary + what to do next =====
	+
	+	<WRAP center round tip 90%>
	+	Bottom line: Don't accept a rejection at face value — request the file noting via RTI, fix the underlying document gap, and file the statutory appeal within 30 days at each level. Most rejections reverse with corrected documents.

	+
	+	{{:social:auto:rejection-recovery-scholarship-rejected.png?direct&1200 \|NSP scholarship rejected — recovery guide (2026) — RTI Wiki}}
	+
	+	<WRAP info>
	+	Quick answer: NSP rejection layers: (1) Institution Verifier (IV) — your school/college didn't verify; (2) District Nodal Officer (DNO) — caste/income cert issue; (3) State Nodal Officer (SNO) — final scheme-specific check; (4) Ministry approval — last gate. Most "rejections" are actually IV pending — escalate to college Principal. RTI to Institution + DNO for specific rejection reason.
	+	</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== Top reasons for rejection =====
	+	* Institution Verifier didn't act — most common. Escalate to Principal/Director.
	+	* Caste/income cert format wrong — must be PDF, < 500KB, current year.
	+	* Marks below cut-off — 50% (most schemes), 60% (Top Class).
	+	* Scheme-specific eligibility — e.g., Minority scheme requires specific religion confirmed.
	+	* Aadhaar-bank not linked (NPCI mapping) — DBT bounces.
	+
	+	===== 7-step recovery checklist =====
	+	- Check rejection level — scholarships.gov.in → Application Status → IV/DNO/SNO/Ministry stage. Reason note.
	+	- If IV pending — Visit college Office; ask Principal to action. RTI to Principal if no movement after 15 days.
	+	- If caste/income cert issue — Re-upload corrected version (current year, PDF < 500 KB, signed).
	+	- If marks below cut-off — Submit re-evaluated marksheet OR clarify in remarks if scheme has any relaxation.
	+	- If Aadhaar-bank de-linked — Visit bank; link via NPCI mapper. 2-3 days. Re-submit on portal.
	+	- Re-submit before window closes — Most schemes have re-application window. Pre-2nd-tranche fixes save the year.
	+	- Appeal to DNO — Within 30 days of rejection. Email: dno.scholarship.[district]@nic.in (template via NSP portal).
	+	- RTI to Institution + DNO — For: stage-by-stage rejection rationale. NSP grievance portal also active.
	+
	+	===== Appeal route, window, and fee =====
	+	* Statutory appeal route: NSP grievance: Institution → DNO → SNO → Ministry. CPGRAMS for cross-scheme.
	+	* Appeal window: 30 days at each level (within scheme window)
	+	* Fee: Free at all stages.
	+
	+	===== Documents to fix or upgrade =====
	+	* Current-year caste & income certificates (PDF < 500 KB)
	+	* Updated marks sheet
	+	* Bank passbook with Aadhaar linkage proof
	+
	+	===== File an RTI in parallel — most rejections clear within 15 days =====

	+
	+	Track your application status: [[:check-status:scholarship-status\|Status check guide]]
	+
	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	==== IV verifier delayed beyond deadline — scheme lapsed? ====
	+	Submit "IV-not-actioned" complaint to DNO. Most schemes extend windows for genuine IV delays.
	+
	+	==== Re-applied next year — affected by old rejection? ====
	+	No — fresh application year is independent. Ensure docs current.
	+
	+	==== Two scholarships same year — possible? ====
	+	No — NSP auto-blocks duplicates. Choose higher-value scheme.
	+
	+	==== OBC creamy layer — income > Rs 8L. Excluded? ====
	+	Yes for OBC scholarships. SC/ST has higher ceiling. EBC has its own.
	+
	+	==== NSP final rejection — alternative? ====
	+	State scholarship portals (e.g., Karnataka: ssp.postmatric.karnataka.gov.in) — separate from NSP, often more relaxed.
	+
