	+
	+	<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)
	+
	+	===== 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: //Cyber Cell + State Cybercrime Coordinator + I4C (Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre)//
	+
	+	Ask these 5 questions:
	+
	+	- complaint status by acknowledgment
	+	- investigation officer
	+	- money-trail freeze status
	+	- projected resolution
	+	- recovery process

	+
	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	* Q: Will I get my money back? — Possible if reported within 24 hours via 1930 (police can freeze) + within 3 days at bank (full liability). After 7 days, recovery rate < 20%.
	+	* 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 MGNREGA wage payment + FTO status (2026) ======
	+
	+	{{page>snippets:dpdp-banner}}
	+
	+	<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>
	+
	+	===== Quick facts =====
	+	\| What you need \| Job card number OR state + district + panchayat + name \|
	+	\| Official portal \| [[https://nrega.nic.in\|nrega.nic.in]] \|
	+	\| Mobile app \| NREGA MIS (Android — for field officers) \|
	+	\| Wage payment SLA \| 15 days under MGNREGA §3(3) \|
	+	\| Compensation \| 0.05% per day delay (Operational Guidelines Para 30) \|

	+	\| Email \| rural@nic.in \|
	+	\| Statutory base \| MGNREGA 2005 + Operational Guidelines 2013 \|
	+
	+	===== 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.
	+	* Q: Where to file MGNREGA complaint? — Complaint redressal officer at panchayat → BPO → Lokpal MGNREGA. RTI parallel.

	+
	+	===== 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 =====
	+
	+	* Status is normal → wait the published SLA (60–90 days for sanction; 12–18 months for completion).
	+	* Status is delayed → click [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/ai-rti-draft-app.html\|🪄 AI RTI Drafter]] now; complete §6 application in 60 seconds. Free.
	+	* Status shows rejected → demand reasons under §4(1)(d) + §19 First Appeal.
	+	* State-specific guidance → see [[:scheme-state:pmay:start\|state-by-state PMAY guide]].
	+	* Construction stuck → file RTI specifically for geo-tag verification status — most common silent blocker.

	+
	+	====== How to check Udyam (MSME) registration status (2026) ======
	+
	+	{{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 =====

	+	\| 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.

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 =====
	+	\| 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) \|

	+	\| 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).

	+
	+	====== 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 \|
	+	\| AIS (broader) \| [[https://www.incometax.gov.in\|incometax.gov.in]] → AIS — Annual Information Statement \|

	+	\| 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.

	+	* 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 voters.eci.gov.in (formerly NVSP) → Track Application Status → enter your Reference Number. OR use the Voter Helpline App. Form 6 (new EPIC) and Form 8 (corrections) have 30-day SLA under Rule 26 of Registration of Electors Rules 1960.</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== Quick facts =====
	+	\| What you need \| Reference Number from Form 6/8 acknowledgment \|
	+	\| ECI portal \| [[https://voters.eci.gov.in\|voters.eci.gov.in]] (NVSP successor) \|
	+	\| Voter Helpline app \| Android/iOS — search EPIC, download e-EPIC \|
	+	\| Electoral roll search \| [[https://electoralsearch.in\|electoralsearch.in]] — find by name + state + AC \|
	+	\| SLA \| 30 days under Rule 26 RER 1960 \|
	+	\| Helpline \| 1950 (Voter Helpline; toll-free) \|
	+	\| Email \| complaints@eci.gov.in \|
	+	\| Statutory base \| Representation of People Act 1950 + RER 1960 \|
	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Find your Reference Number (BLO acknowledgment) from Form 6 / Form 8 receipt.
	+	- Visit voters.eci.gov.in → Track Application Status → enter reference + state.
	+	- Status shows: Submitted → BLO Field Verification → ERO Approval → EPIC Issued / Rejected.
	+	- For an existing voter, search at electoralsearch.in by name + DOB + state — confirms if your name is on the current roll.
	+	- Download e-EPIC (digital voter card, valid since 2021): voters.eci.gov.in → Login → Download e-EPIC. Available within 30 days of new EPIC issue.
	+	- For corrections (name spelling, address, photo): Form 8 online; same SLA; track at voters.eci.gov.in.
	+
	+	===== Real story from a citizen =====
	+	What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Anita, a 26-year-old IT engineer in Bengaluru, moved from Chennai. Form 8 for address change submitted Feb 2024. By Apr 2024 (Lok Sabha elections), her name was still on the Chennai roll. 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.

	+	* Q: Can I vote with e-EPIC? — Yes — e-EPIC is legally valid since 2021. Show on phone at polling booth.
	+	* Q: What if my photo on EPIC is old/wrong? — Form 8 for photo correction. 30-day SLA. Free.
	+	* Q: Can I have voter ID in two states? — No — illegal. File Form 7 to delete old entry first, then Form 6 for new.

	+	<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 =====

	+	\| 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.

	+
	+	====== How to check LPG subsidy / connection status — DBT-PAHAL (2026) ======
	+
	+	{{page>snippets:dpdp-banner}}
	+
	+	<WRAP info>Direct answer. Visit mylpg.in → Login with mobile/consumer number → Subsidy Received (PAHAL DBTL) → see history. Subsidy goes to Aadhaar-linked bank via DBT. Stopped subsidies typically due to KYC, Aadhaar-bank mismatch, or income > Rs. 10 lakh self-declaration.</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== Quick facts =====
	+	\| What you need \| 17-digit LPG consumer number OR mobile \|
	+	\| Official portal \| [[https://mylpg.in\|mylpg.in]] \|
	+	\| Distributors \| Indane (IOC) · Bharatgas (BPCL) · HP Gas (HPCL) \|
	+	\| Mobile app \| Indane Gas / Bharat Gas / HP Gas (each distributor) \|
	+	\| Helpline \| 1906 (LPG emergency, all distributors) · IOC: 1800-2333-555 \|
	+	\| Statutory base \| PAHAL DBT scheme + Ujjwala Yojana 2016 \|
	+
	+	===== Step-by-step =====
	+	- Visit mylpg.in → select your distributor.
	+	- Login with consumer number OR mobile + OTP.
	+	- Click PAHAL (DBTL) → see subsidy history per cylinder.
	+	- Verify Aadhaar-bank linkage status; if not done, KYC option in same dashboard.
	+	- For Ujjwala new connection status: contact distributor with reference number.
	+	- 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.
	+
	+	===== Helpline + contact =====
	+	LPG: 1906 (24/7 emergency + booking) · IOC: 1800-2333-555 · BPCL: 1800-22-4344 · HPCL: 1800-2333-555

	+
	+	===== 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.

	+
	+	====== How to check cybercrime complaint status (NCRP) ======
	+	{{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)
	+
	+	===== 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: //Cyber Cell + State Cybercrime Coordinator + I4C (Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre)//
	+
	+	Ask these 5 questions:
	+
	+	- complaint status by acknowledgment
	+	- investigation officer
	+	- money-trail freeze status
	+	- projected resolution
	+	- recovery process
	+

	+
	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	* Q: Will I get my money back? — Possible if reported within 24 hours via 1930 (police can freeze) + within 3 days at bank (full liability). After 7 days, recovery rate < 20%.
	+	* 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.

	+	- 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.

	+	- 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.

	+	{{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>

	+	\| 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).

	+
	+	===== 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.

	+	* 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.
