	+	====== Aadhaar enrolment / update rejected — recovery guide (2026) ======
	+
	+	{{ :social:auto:rejection-recovery-aadhaar-rejected.png?direct&1200 }}
	+
	+	<WRAP info>
	+	Quick answer: Most "Aadhaar rejected" cases are actually QC (Quality Check) holds — biometrics or document scans not meeting UIDAI quality standard. Free re-capture at the same centre within 90 days. If QC clears: card generated. If still rejected: appeal to UIDAI Regional Office + RTI for the actual reason.
	+	</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== Top reasons for rejection =====
	+	* Biometric quality — fingerprints worn (manual labour) / iris reflection. Re-capture solves 80%.
	+	* Name spelling mismatch — across %%PoI%%/%%PoA%%/%%PoDOB%% documents. Affidavit + re-submission.
	+	* Address proof too old — utility bill > 3 months. Get latest bill.
	+	* Demographic data conflict — %%DoB%% on PAN ≠ %%DoB%% on school certificate. Pick one source + correct other.
	+	* Duplicate / fake biometric flag — biometrics matched to existing Aadhaar. Visit nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra with original docs.
	+
	+	===== 7-step recovery checklist =====
	+	- Check rejection reason — SMS from UIDAI gives URN + reason code. Status at myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/check-aadhaar-status.
	+	- If QC hold (BIO_FAIL/QUALITY) — Re-visit same enrolment centre within 90 days. Free re-capture. Carry EID slip.
	+	- If document QC fail (DOC_FAIL) — Upload fresh %%PoI%%/%%PoA%% scans via myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in (online update Rs 50) OR re-visit centre with originals.
	+	- If demographic mismatch (DEMO_FAIL) — Submit affidavit on Rs 10 stamp paper declaring correct name/%%DoB%%. Choose authoritative source (passport/birth cert).
	+	- If duplicate flag — You may already have an Aadhaar. Search at myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/retrieve-eid using mobile + name. If yours, download e-Aadhaar.
	+	- If centre denies re-enrolment — Centre cannot deny — UIDAI mandate. Call 1947 or write to UIDAI Regional Office (RO).
	+	- Appeal + RTI parallel — No formal Aadhaar Act appeal — but file RTI to UIDAI RO citing Aadhaar Act §32 for the rejection rationale + grievance ticket number.
	+
	+	===== Appeal route, window, and fee =====
	+	* Statutory appeal route: UIDAI Regional Office (8 ROs across India). Grievance via 1947 toll-free, help@uidai.gov.in, or written complaint to RO Director. No statutory appeal under Aadhaar Act.
	+	* Appeal window: No statutory window — re-enrolment within 90 days (free) and grievance any time.
	+	* Fee: Free for QC-hold re-capture (same centre, 90 days). Online update Rs 50. New centre visit Rs 100.
	+
	+	===== Documents to fix or upgrade =====
	+	* Latest utility bill (≤3 months)
	+	* Passport / Voter ID for cross-verification
	+	* Affidavit on Rs 10 stamp paper for demographic corrections
	+
	+	===== 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.

	+
	+	Track your application status: [[:check-status:aadhaar-status\|Status check guide]]
	+
	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	==== How long do I have to fix a QC hold? ====
	+	90 days — free re-capture at the same centre. After 90 days: fresh enrolment Rs 100.
	+
	+	==== Can UIDAI permanently deny me Aadhaar? ====
	+	No — Aadhaar Act §3 mandates enrolment for any resident. Any "permanent rejection" is illegal. RTI + complaint to UIDAI RO Director resolves.
	+
	+	==== My biometrics fail repeatedly. Alternative? ====
	+	UIDAI has Biometric Exception procedure — for amputees, severe arthritis, very young/old. Officer documents exception; Aadhaar issued without that biometric.
	+
	+	==== Update rejected after submitting online — fee refund? ====
	+	No — Rs 50 online update fee is non-refundable. But you can re-submit corrected docs without paying again within 90 days (case-by-case).
	+
	+	==== Who do I escalate to if RO unresponsive? ====
	+	CEO UIDAI via online grievance + RTI to UIDAI HQ Bengaluru. CIC has consistently directed UIDAI to disclose rejection rationale.
	+
	+	===== 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 No statutory window — re-enrolment within 90 days (free) and grievance any time.. Most rejections reverse with corrected documents.

	+	====== Driving Licence application / test failed — recovery guide (2026) ======
	+
	+	{{ :social:auto:rejection-recovery-driving-licence-rejected.png?direct&1200 }}
	+
	+	<WRAP info>
	+	Quick answer: DL rejection happens at three points: (1) LL theory test failure (re-attempt next slot, free); (2) Permanent DL driving test failure (re-book after 7 days, Rs 50); (3) Smart card delivery delay (RTI to RTO). Test failures clear with practice + correct vehicle. Document rejections need fresh upload + re-fee.
	+	</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== Top reasons for rejection =====
	+	* Driving test fail — figure-8 / parallel park / gradient stop — most common. Re-test after 7 days.
	+	* Wrong vehicle category — bring correct category (gear/gearless/transport).
	+	* LL expired before PDL test — LL valid 6 months only. Re-apply LL.
	+	* Address proof mismatch with RTO jurisdiction — apply at RTO of your address state.
	+	* Smart card never arrived — India Post lost / wrong address. RTI to RTO.
	+
	+	===== 7-step recovery checklist =====
	+	- LL theory test failed — Re-book at parivahan.gov.in → next available slot (usually next day). No fee. Pass mark 6/10.
	+	- PDL driving test failed — Re-book after 7 days. Rs 50 re-test fee. Practice the failed maneuver beforehand.
	+	- Wrong vehicle on test day — Carry correct category — gear MCG ≠ gearless MCWG ≠ LMV. Free reschedule once.
	+	- LL expired — Apply fresh LL — Rs 200. Then 30-day wait + PDL.
	+	- Smart card not received in 30 days — Track at parivahan.gov.in → RC Status. If "dispatched" but not received: file complaint with India Post + RTI to RTO.
	+	- RTO refusing PDL despite passing test — Cite MV Act §10 (DL must be issued on test pass + fee paid). File RTI + appeal to Transport Commissioner.
	+	- e-DL via %%DigiLocker%% as interim — Once RTO approves, e-DL is auto-pushed to your %%DigiLocker%% — usable everywhere physical card is.
	+
	+	===== Appeal route, window, and fee =====
	+	* Statutory appeal route: MV Act §15 appeal to Transport Commissioner within 30 days for DL refusal/cancellation. CPGRAMS for delays. RTI for transparency.
	+	* Appeal window: 30 days from refusal order
	+	* Fee: LL re-test free. PDL re-test Rs 50. Fresh LL Rs 200. Smart card delivery free (charge included in PDL fee).
	+
	+	===== Documents to fix or upgrade =====
	+	* LL number (for PDL)
	+	* Aadhaar showing current address
	+	* Vehicle of correct category for test day
	+
	+	===== File an RTI in parallel — most rejections clear within 15 days =====
	+

	+
	+	Track your application status: [[:check-status:driving-licence-status\|Status check guide]]
	+
	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	==== How many DL test attempts allowed? ====
	+	Unlimited within LL validity (6 months). After LL expires, fresh LL needed.
	+
	+	==== I passed test but officer marked fail. Fix? ====
	+	CCTV at RTO test track in 22+ states. RTI for CCTV footage + test sheet. Many wrongful fails reverse.
	+
	+	==== Smart card not delivered after 60 days. Refund? ====
	+	No refund — but free re-issue. RTI to RTO + India Post complaint.
	+
	+	==== Lost LL slip — can I take PDL test? ====
	+	Yes — LL number (alphanumeric) is on parivahan; carry digital print + Aadhaar.
	+
	+	==== DL applied in another state by mistake — issued? ====
	+	No — DL only valid in state of issue (driving in other states is fine; renewal/transfer needs Form 33).

	+
	+	{{ :social:auto:rejection-recovery-caste-certificate-rejected.png?direct&1200 }}
	+
	+	<WRAP info>
	+	Quick answer: Caste certificate rejection happens at Tehsildar level for: (1) No record of family caste history (Patwari can't verify); (2) Caste not in state's SC/OBC list; (3) Income > Rs 8L for OBC NCL. Appeal to SDM within 30 days; further to Caste Scrutiny Committee. RTI for Patwari's field report. Most rejections reverse with father's caste cert / school caste entry.
	+	</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== Top reasons for rejection =====
	+	* No father's caste certificate — apply to issue father's first; or use 10th certificate showing caste.
	+	* Caste not in state SC list — verify against Presidential SC Order 1950 amendments. Try state of origin if migrated.
	+	* OBC creamy layer — income > Rs 8L. Submit fresh income cert showing < ceiling.
	+	* Patwari verification fail — village elders weren't home. Re-verification request.
	+	* Migration from another state — caste status doesn't auto-transfer. Apply fresh in new state with origin proof.
	+
	+	===== 7-step recovery checklist =====
	+	- Get rejection order — Tehsildar must issue written rejection (RTPS). If verbal: file RTI for the note.
	+	- Submit father's caste cert — If father has caste certificate: attach copy. Speeds verification.
	+	- Or submit school caste entry — 10th certificate / TC showing caste field is strong evidence. RTI to school if lost.
	+	- Or village elders' affidavit — For SC/ST: 3-4 elders' joint affidavit on Rs 10 stamp paper. Patwari counter-verifies.
	+	- OBC creamy layer correction — Submit fresh income cert showing < Rs 8L. Income excludes agri + salary of single govt-employee parent.
	+	- Re-application or appeal — Within 30 days, appeal to SDM. Free. SDM may direct re-verification by another Patwari.
	+	- Caste Scrutiny Committee (last resort) — For ST: state Caste Scrutiny Committee (CSC) — quasi-judicial body. Decides finally on caste claim disputes.
	+
	+	===== Appeal route, window, and fee =====
	+	* Statutory appeal route: State RTPS appeal: Tehsildar → SDM → DM → State Caste Scrutiny Committee (for ST).
	+	* Appeal window: 30 days at each level
	+	* Fee: Free at all stages.
	+
	+	===== Documents to fix or upgrade =====
	+	* Father's caste certificate

	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	==== Patwari demands bribe to verify. Bypass? ====
	+	File RTI + ACB complaint. Many districts have moved to "Tatkal Caste Cert" via SDM bypass route.
	+
	+	==== My grandfather had caste cert but lost. Recover? ====
	+	RTI to Tehsildar of his birth district for the record. Records pre-1990 may be in district archive.
	+
	+	==== Inter-caste marriage — caste status of children? ====
	+	Generally father's caste (some HCs allow mother's for SC/ST advantage of children). State CSC decides on review.
	+
	+	==== Caste cert revoked after issuance — appeal? ====
	+	Yes — but high standard. Revocation order under §3 of state Caste Cert Act; appeal to State CSC + writ to HC if natural justice violated.
	+
	+	==== Application stuck > 60 days, no rejection. What now? ====
	+	Treat as deemed rejection. File appeal to SDM citing state RTPS deemed-disposal clause. RTI to Tehsildar for noting/file.

	+
	+	{{ :social:auto:rejection-recovery-property-mutation-rejected.png?direct&1200 }}
	+
	+	<WRAP info>
	+	Quick answer: Mutation rejection happens when: (1) Title disputed (multiple claimants); (2) Sale deed not registered (unregistered = void); (3) Legal heir NOC missing (inheritance cases); (4) Property tax dues (clear before mutation); (5) Patwari's field report contests possession. Appeal to SDM (rural) / Asstt Commissioner (urban) within 30 days. RTI for Patwari's field report.
	+	</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== Top reasons for rejection =====
	+	* Title disputed — multiple legal heirs. Need succession cert / partition deed.
	+	* Sale deed unregistered — register at Sub-Registrar first; mutation only on registered.
	+	* Legal heir NOC missing — siblings of deceased haven't signed.
	+	* Property tax dues — clear all dues before mutation.
	+	* Patwari's adverse report — physical possession ≠ documentary owner.
	+
	+	===== 7-step recovery checklist =====
	+	- Get rejection order — Tehsildar / Asstt Commissioner must issue written rejection. RTI for noting if verbal.
	+	- If sale deed unregistered — Register at Sub-Registrar (stamp duty + 1% reg fee). Then re-apply mutation.
	+	- If title disputed (inheritance) — Get succession certificate from district court (3-6 months) OR family settlement deed signed by all legal heirs (faster).
	+	- If legal heir NOC missing — Get NOCs from all legal heirs on Rs 100 stamp paper. If contested: court order required.
	+	- Clear property tax dues — Pay all pending years; get NOC from municipal corporation; resubmit mutation.
	+	- Counter Patwari's adverse report — Submit your possession proofs: utility bills in your name, society/RWA confirmation, neighbours' affidavit.
	+	- Appeal to SDM / Asstt Commissioner — Within 30 days. Free. Cite state Land Revenue Code / Municipal Act.
	+	- Further appeal: DM → Revenue Tribunal — If SDM rejects. Last admin remedy before HC.
	+
	+	===== Appeal route, window, and fee =====
	+	* Statutory appeal route: State Revenue Code: Tehsildar → SDM → DM → Revenue Tribunal → HC writ.
	+	* Appeal window: 30 days at each level
	+	* Fee: Free for mutation appeal. Sale deed registration: 5-7% stamp duty + 1% registration. Succession cert: court fee 1-3% of property value.
	+
	+	===== Documents to fix or upgrade =====
	+	* Registered sale deed / partition deed / succession cert
	+	* Property tax NOC (all dues paid)
	+	* Legal heir NOCs (all heirs signed)

	+
	+	===== Frequently asked questions =====
	+	==== Sale deed registered but mutation rejected. Why? ====
	+	Most common: property tax dues OR Patwari's field report disputes possession. Counter both.
	+
	+	==== Inheritance — no Will + heirs disputing. Mutation possible? ====
	+	Only after court succession cert OR family settlement deed. Without consent of all heirs: rejected.
	+
	+	==== Patwari demanded bribe. Bypass? ====
	+	File ACB complaint + RTI. Many states now have e-mutation (no Patwari interface) — Bhulekh online.
	+
	+	==== Mutation reverses ownership? Or reflects? ====
	+	Reflects — mutation doesn't create ownership (sale deed does). But without mutation, future sale + tax + utility transfer blocked.
	+
	+	==== SDM appeal stuck > 60 days. Force? ====
	+	RTI to SDM for file noting. State RTPS deemed-disposal clause may apply. HC writ for systemic delay.

	+	====== NSP scholarship rejected — recovery guide (2026) ======
	+
	+	{{ :social:auto:rejection-recovery-scholarship-rejected.png?direct&1200 }}
	+
	+	<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 =====
	+
	+	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 =====
	+	==== 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.
	+
	+	===== 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 (within scheme window). Most rejections reverse with corrected documents.
