How do I check up scholarship status on the portal?

Go to scholarship.up.gov.in, select Status, choose your academic year, and enter your registration number, date of birth, and captcha. You will see institute, district, and department verification, plus approval and payment stages. Save a screenshot and recheck PFMS if a payment link is provided for real‑time updates.

What does ‘PFMS sent to bank’ mean for my payment?

It means the department released funds and PFMS pushed the amount to your bank’s core system. The credit should appear in your account shortly. If the balance does not update, refresh your passbook or app, and ask the branch to trace the inward DBT using the PFMS reference number.

Why is my application marked pending or sent back?

Pending indicates verification or approval is still in process. Sent back usually points to an error like name, Aadhaar, or bank detail mismatch. Read the remark, correct details on the portal when allowed, confirm with your institute nodal officer, and recheck later on PFMS for the latest payment trail.

Can I change my bank details after submission?

Edits are limited once verification starts. If the portal opens a correction window, update bank details there and inform your institute nodal officer. If funds already moved to PFMS, contact your bank to ensure the account is active and Aadhaar‑linked, and request help tracing or resolving payment failures.
