Status and payment: use NSP dashboard and PFMS tracking
Track application movement on your NSP dashboard. For payments, check “Know Your Payments” on the Public Financial Management System and confirm that your bank account is Aadhaar‑seeded for Direct Benefit Transfer. Use NPCI’s BASE tools to re‑seed if needed.
Avoid defects: document, photo, and signature tips
Scan documents clearly, match names with Aadhaar, and meet photo or signature size rules. Keep the account active and linked to Aadhaar to prevent returns. For issues, use the NSP Helpdesk and PFMS support during notified hours. Do not share OTPs with anyone.
