Track Payment Status : Students can track their payment status via the "Know Your Payment" template on the Public Financial Management System (PFMS) Portal, using their Aadhaar Number, Bank Account number, or NSP Application ID. NOTE 1: The National Scholarships Portal announces the portal's opening and closing timelines. NOTE 2: Online applications go through two verification levels -- first by the student's Institute, then by the concerned State Higher Education Department or another Agency/Official the State nominates as its State Nodal Agency (for both fresh and renewal applicants). NOTE 3: A delay in renewal or verification won't permanently debar a student from the scholarship, but renewal applications must still be submitted by the cut-off date -- missing it means no renewal for that year.
