The National Scholarship Portal (NSP) utilizes the Public Financial Management System (PFMS) for tracking Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) payments of scholarship funds. Here’s a guide to navigating PFMS and checking your NSP scholarship payment status in 2024:
What You’ll Need:
- Bank Account Details: Either your bank account number or the first few characters of your bank name.
- NSP Application ID (Optional): Having this handy can expedite the process.
Steps to Track Payment:
- Visit the PFMS website: Track Here
- Locate the “Track NSP Payments” section. It might be directly visible or under a menu like “Track DBT Payments”.
- Choose your preferred tracking method:
- By Bank Account: Enter your bank account number.
- By NSP Application ID: Enter your NSP application ID if you have it readily available.
- By Bank Name: Enter the first few characters of your bank name to narrow down options.
- Enter the captcha code displayed on the screen.
- Click “Submit.”
What the Results Show:
The PFMS website will display the status of your DBT payment if it’s been processed. Here’s what you might see:
- Payment Status: This indicates whether the payment is “Initiated,” “Processed,” or “Failed.”
- Amount: This shows the scholarship amount transferred to your account.
- Date of Transaction: This reflects the date the funds were transferred.
Additional Tips:
- If you haven’t received your scholarship despite a “Processed” status, allow a few working days for the funds to reflect in your bank account.
- In case of a “Failed” status, contact the NSP scholarship program authorities or the PFMS helpdesk for further information.
- Keep your bank account details linked to Aadhaar updated to avoid any delays.
Remember:
The NSP portal itself might not have a dedicated section for tracking DBT payments in 2024. PFMS is the central platform for tracking these payments across various government schemes, including scholarships.
By following these steps and understanding the information displayed on PFMS, you can easily track the status of your NSP scholarship payment in 2024.
