Assam’s SIRISH scholarships for Tea Tribes and Adivasi students close on October 15, 2026. With institute checks and PFMS payouts following, the final 24 hours matter. Submit now to avoid verification bottlenecks and missed disbursements. The department has formally extended the window to this date for 2026–27 applicants.
The SIRISH portal hosts Pre-Matric, Post-Matric, Simon Sing Horo Special Post-Matric, ANM/GNM and Higher Studies schemes. Registered users can log in, upload fresh documents, and track status on the dashboard. Scholarships are credited by electronic transfer to the beneficiary’s bank account.

Documents checklist for SIRISH application
Keep these ready: Tea Garden Labour or Ex‑TGL community certificate, income undertaking, Aadhaar, recent photograph, age proof, and last exam mark sheet. Upload the first page of your bank passbook and current admission receipt. Use the Aadhaar‑linked mobile for one‑time passwords during registration and updates. Scan clearly to avoid rejections.
How to apply on the SIRISH portal
Register with Aadhaar and the Aadhaar‑linked mobile, then create a password. Log in, choose the correct scheme, and complete personal, academic, and bank sections. Upload documents in the prescribed formats and submit. Download the acknowledgment and revisit the dashboard to monitor institute verification and any clarification requests.
PFMS payment: Aadhaar seeding tips and rejection fixes
Payments follow electronic transfer, so fix bank issues before approval. Ensure the account is in the student’s name and Aadhaar is seeded and active in the NPCI mapper. Track disbursement using PFMS Know Your Payments. Typical failures involve inactive mapping, name mismatches, or wrong IFSC; request corrective seeding at your bank. Apply before October 15.
