Earlier Registration and Verification Process
Students first registered online and received a user ID and password. Using these credentials, they logged in to fill out the application form. After submission, the form underwent verification at the school and district levels. Only after this verification was the incentive amount released to the student.
What’s Changed with the New Digital Process
The entire process is now fully digital and automated, eliminating manual verification. Student data is automatically verified by linking it directly to the board’s database, Aadhaar, and bank account. If all details are correct, the form is instantly marked as “Verified.” Only if there is an error in the information does the form appear as “Not Verified.”
Who Gets a “Not Verified” Form?
Forms show “Not Verified” if there’s a mismatch in Aadhaar number, bank account, or name, or if the IFSC code or account is incorrect or closed. Students who provide wrong information during application also fall into this category. Such students should regularly check their application status and correct any errors immediately if marked “Not Verified.”
How to Check Your Application Status
- Visit the MedhaSoft portal.
- Click on “Student Application Status.”
- Enter your registration number or Aadhaar number.
- Click “Search.”
- Your form status will appear as either “Auto Verified” or “Not Verified.”
When Will Auto-Verified Students Receive the Incentive?
Students with auto-verified forms have started receiving payments from September 2025. The amount is transferred directly to their bank accounts via DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer). Payments are processed in batches, district-wise.
What to Do If Your Form Is Not Verified
Immediately correct any errors in your application. Ensure your bank account details, IFSC code, and Aadhaar information are accurate to get your form verified.
Importance of the Incentive
This incentive plays a vital role for students by:
- Covering expenses for further studies.
- Boosting motivation and enthusiasm for education.
- Providing significant support to children from economically weaker families.
