UP scholarship status 2024-25: Verification, Payment Status & NPCI Mapping Issues
The UP Scholarship program for the academic year 2024-25 has brought a wave of updates and clarifications for students eagerly awaiting their funds. As of March 10, 2025, many students’ payment statuses have been verified, and those who previously saw a “No Record Found” message are now seeing their payment details reflected. If you haven’t checked your status yet, it’s time to do so — your scholarship verification might already be complete. UP scholarship status
Key Updates on UP Scholarship Status 2024-25
| Date | Status Update | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| March 10, 2025 | Many students’ payment status verified | Check your status on the official site |

Why Is the Scholarship Amount Showing Less Than Expected?
One common issue students face is the scholarship amount displayed being lower than expected. For instance, if your tuition fee is ₹56,000, but only ₹8,000 or ₹9,000 is shown, here’s why:
- Central and State Contributions:
- Central Government covers 60% of the scholarship.
- State Government covers 40%.
- Two Installments:
- The scholarship is often paid in two parts.
- The first installment may show a smaller amount.
- Technical Glitches:
- Sometimes payment portals display incorrect amounts.
- These discrepancies usually get corrected in subsequent updates.
When Will the Scholarship Amount Be Credited?
For students whose payment status was verified by March 10, 2025:
- Payment Expected: Within 10 days (by March 20, 2025)
- Possibility of Early Payment: Some students may receive funds before Holi
For students still waiting on verification:
- Expected Payment Date: Between March 20 and March 31, 2025
Addressing NPCI Mapping Issues
One crucial requirement for receiving your scholarship amount is proper NPCI (National Payments Corporation of India) mapping of your bank account. If the account provided in your scholarship application is not NPCI-mapped:
- Your Payment May Be Rejected: Funds may bounce back if mapping is incorrect.
- Mapped to Another Account: Sometimes payments may be credited to a different NPCI-mapped account under your name.
- Action Needed: Visit your bank and submit an application to link your account with NPCI.
Common Errors and Their Solutions
| Error Message | Possible Cause | Suggested Action |
| “No Record Found” | Pending verification | Wait and recheck later |
| “Beneficiary does not belong to provided type” | System verification delay | Usually auto-corrects |
| Incorrect/Low Payment Amount | Central-State fund split | Wait for second installment |
| Account Not NPCI-Mapped | Bank account issue | Map your account ASAP |
