|---|---|---|
| Submitted | Processing | Wait |
| Under Review | Officer verify | Wait |

| Rejected | Reason dekho | Documents fix → Re-apply |
“Approved” ke baad bhi payment nahi aayi? Neeche Aadhaar seeding section dekhen।
⚠️ Payment Stuck — Aadhaar Seeding Fix
Form approved — paisa nahi aaya?
Reason: Bride’s bank account Aadhaar se linked nahi (NPCI mapping missing)।
Fix:
- Bride’s bank branch mein jaayein
- Bolein: “DBT ke liye Aadhaar-NPCI seeding karwani hai”
- Aadhaar + Bank passbook → Link complete → 3-7 days
Surname change hua? (Shadi ke baad)
Aadhaar mein purana naam + bank mein naya naam = DBT fail। Bank mein jaao → Aadhaar re-verify karwao → Surname update karo → NPCI mapping dobara karwao।
