+====== Scholarship Delay — RTI for NSP / State / Tribal Scholarships ======
+{{ :og/card-02.png?direct&1200 |Scholarship Delay RTI - RTI Wiki}}
+**The National Scholarship Portal (NSP) commits 60-90 days from application sanction to first DBT credit. State scholarships (Tamil Nadu Adi-Dravidar, Maharashtra Mahadbt, Karnataka SSP, Bihar Vatika) follow similar windows. Beyond 90 days — file an RTI to the institution and the state Social Welfare / Tribal Welfare / Minority Affairs Department (whichever administers your scheme).** Reply due in 30 days under §7(1).
+<WRAP center round info 95%>
+**TL;DR:** NSP / state scholarship: **60-90 days**. Aadhaar-DBT mapping is the most common failure point. RTI to institution + state scholarship cell. **[[https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/ai-rti-draft-app.html?prefill=I want to file an RTI for my delayed scholarship. NSP/State Application ID: [ID].

+===== Where scholarships get stuck =====
+  * **Institution verification pending** — college/school has not approved your application.
+  * **District Welfare Officer (DWO) approval** — at state level.
+  * **Aadhaar-NPCI mapping failed** — DBT cannot route.
+  * **Bank dormant / KYC outdated** — DBT bounced.
+  * **Sanction issued, payment pending** — Treasury delay.
+  * **"Renewal" applications** — second-year+ stuck for income certificate update.
