Identity and Residence Proofs

Aadhaar Card Requirements

Aadhaar card aapka sabse mahatvapurn document hai. Uska mobile number active aur same hona chahiye jo aapke paas hai.

Agar Aadhaar mein naam ‘Smt. Sunita Sharma’ hai to form mein bilkul wahi spelling bhariye – ‘Sunita’ ya ‘Smt.’ na chhodna aapka application reject karwa sakta hai. Pichle saal AI ne kai applications mein naam ki matching mein fail hone par reject kar diya tha. Isliye, Aadhaar jaisa naam, waise bhariye.

Residence Proof Options

Aap Maharashtra ki nivasi hain, yah sabit karne ke liye koi ek valid praman kaafi hai. Domicile certificate, voter ID (Maharashtra ka), ration card (Maharashtra ka yellow/orange), ya janam praman patra (agar Maharashtra mein janm hua ho) – inmein se koi bhi chalega.

Agar inmein se kuch bhi nahi hai, to Gram Panchayat se ‘nivas praman patra’ banwayein. Yaad rakhiye, aavedan mein diya gaya pata Aadhaar ya voter ID se mel khaana chahiye, varna AI reject kar dega.

Fixing Name and Address Mismatch

Agar aapke documents mein naam mein halka farak hai (jaise Aadhaar mein ‘Smt.’, bank mein nahi), to aapko sudhar khidki ka intazaar karna padega. Behtar hai ki aavedan bharne se pehle hi sabhi documents mein ek jaisa naam aur pata karwa lein.

Ek mahila, Sunita, ne Aadhaar mein ‘Smt.’ lagakar form mein nahi lagaya tha – unka application reject ho gaya. Baad mein correction window mein jakar unhonne ‘Smt.’ hata kar dobara jama kiya, tab jaakar sweekrit hua.

Income Proof Papers

Income Certificate vs Self-Declaration

Income sabit karne ke do tareeke hain: Tehsildar dwara pramanit aay praman patra, ya ₹100 stamp paper par swayam ghoshana affidavit.

Tehsildar wala zyada surakshit hai, kyunki AI is baar income tax records se bhi cross-check karega. Agar aapke paas income certificate nahi hai, to self-declaration bana sakti hain – lekin yah dhyan rakhein ki usmein parivar ke sabhi sadasyon ki aay jodi jaaye.

How to Calculate Family Income Correctly

Yahaan sabse badi galti hoti hai. Parivaar ki kul aay mein aap, pati aur ek hi ghar mein rehne wale sabhi kamane wale sadasyon (jaise beta, bahu) ki aay jod di jaati hai.

 Sirf pati ki salary dekh lena galat hai. Meena, ek applicant, ne socha sirf pati ki aay 2.3 lakh hai; lekin uske bete ki part-time naukri se 40,000 rupaye bhi aaye the.

Kul aay 2.7 lakh ho gayi – 24% rejections isi vajah se hote hain. Meena ka application radd ho gaya. Isliye, ghar ki pooree kamai ka sahi hisaab lagayein.

Documents for No-Income Households

Agar kisi ke ghar mein koi kamai nahi hai ya sirf majdoori se aniyamit aay hai, tab bhi aay praman dena hoga

. Aisi sthiti mein Gram Panchayat ya ward office se ‘no income certificate’ banwayein, ya self-declaration mein ₹0 aay likhkar saath mein sakshya (jaise MGNREGA job card) lagayein. Bina kisi sakshya ke ₹0 ghoshit karna AI ko sandigdh lag sakta hai.

Photo and Bank Account Requirements

Photo Size and Format Rules

Aapki passport-size photo par bahut kuch tika hai. 18% rejections is ek choti-se cheez ki vajah se hue. Photo ka background bilkul white hona chahiye, chehra saaf dikhna chahiye, aur vah 6 mahine se purani nahi honi chahiye. Size 30-50 kilobyte ke beech, JPEG format mein

. Mobile se kheenchkar upload karne waali mahilayein, dhyan dein ki flash ya parchhayi na pade. Ek mahila ne Aadhaar wali 10 saal purani photo lagayi, AI ne face match nahi kiya – reject. Isliye nayi photo zaroor lagayein.

Bank Passbook and Account Linking

Aapke bank khate ki pehli page ki copy upload karni hai jismein aapka naam, khata number aur IFSC code saaf dikhe.

Lekin usse bhi zyada zaroori hai ki aapka khata Aadhaar se link ho. 32% rejections bank linking ke karan hue. Bina link ke DBT seedha khate mein nahi pahunchega, chahe baaki sab sahi ho. Kya aapne apna Aadhaar-bank linking status check kiya hai?

How to Check Aadhaar-Bank Linking at Home

Apne Aadhaar-linked mobile number se *99*99# dial karein. Ek menu aayega jisme ‘Aadhaar Seeding Status’ select kar sakti hain. Agar ‘seeding complete’ aata hai to theek, nahi to foran apni bank branch mein jaakar Aadhaar seeding form bharein.

Is process mein ek-2 din lag sakte hain, isliye registration window khulne se kam se kam ek hafta pehle yah kaam kar lein.

Special Cases: Widowed, Divorced, and Migrant Women

Documents for Widowed Applicants

Vidhwa mahilayen niyamit eligibility poori karti hain, lekin unhe pati ka death certificate dena anivarya hai. Agar death certificate nahi hai, to Gram Panchayat se prapt karein. Iske bina unka aavedan vidhwa shreni mein sweekar nahi hoga.

For Divorced or Deserted Women

Talaq-shuda ya parityakta mahilayen alag affidavit prastut kar sakti hain jismein unki vaivahik sthiti ka ullekh ho. Talaq ka legal decree ho to uski copy lagaayein.

Parityakta hone par Gram Panchayat se praman patra bhi kaam aata hai. Isse unhe alag se aay praman dene ki zaroorat nahi, keval swayam ka aay ghoshit karna hoga.

For Migrant Women with Other-State ID

Kai mahilayein Maharashtra mein janmi, shadi ke baad bahar rahin, lekin ab vapas aa gayi hain. Unke paas Maharashtra ka voter ID nahi hai, lekin ration card ya purana janam praman patra hai.

Aisi mahilayein Gram Panchayat se nivas praman patra banwayein aur sath mein pati ka Maharashtra nivas praman lagayein. Sitabai, 62, Mumbai mein bete ke saath rahti thin, Aadhaar mein gaon ka pata tha. Unhonne rental agreement aur light bill ke saath Gram Panchayat se praman patra banwaya – aavedan sweekar hua.

New for 2026: AI Verification and Selfie Video

What AI Will Check

Is baar Mahila aur Bal Vikas Vibhag ne AI-based document verification shuru kiya hai. AI aapke photo ko Aadhaar ke photo se match karega, bank account ki NPCI mapping check karega, aur income proof ko income tax records se cross-verify karega.

Iska matlab hai ki koi bhi dhundhli, purani ya galat document tatkal reject hogi. AI verification manual process se 60% tez hai, lekin galti ki gunjaish nahi chhodti.

5-Second Selfie Video Requirement

Duplicate aavedan rokne ke liye is saal har naye applicant ko registration ke dauraan ek chhota video record karna hoga. Screen par ek vakya aayega – use padhkar bolna hoga. Video mein aapka chehra aur aawaz saaf honi chahiye.

Iske liye kisi alag document ki zaroorat nahi, lekin phone ka camera achha aur roshni poori honi chahiye. Is chhoti-se kadam ko nazarandaz na karein, varna aage nahi badh payengi.

Preparing Documents for AI Scanning

AI ke liye documents upload karte samay dhyan rakhein: scan 300 DPI ka ho, background white, aur text saaf padhne layak.

Mobile se scan karne ke liye CamScanner jaisi app use kar sakti hain. Kabhi bhi photocopy ki photo na kheechen – AI use blur samajh kar reject kar dega.

Offline Camp Document Tips

What to Bring to the Camp

Agar aap offline camp mein ja rahi hain, to saath lekar jaayein: sabhi documents ki original copies, 2 sets self-attested photocopies, Aadhaar-linked mobile phone, aur ek passport-size photo (extra). Camp mein Nari Mitra aapki madad karengi, muft mein.

Photocopy Rules

Photocopies par aapke hastakshar hone chahiye – har copy ke neeche likhein “self-attested” aur date daalein.

Agar aap nahi likh sakti, to camp mein Nari Mitra aapke liye yeh kar degi. Bina attestation ke copies sweekar nahi hongi.

Camp Verification Process

Camp mein aapke documents check honge, photo kheench kar upload hogi, aur aapko ek acknowledgment slip di jaayegi.

Us slip ko sambhal kar rakhein. Yadi koi paise maange, to turant 14567 par call karein. Poori prakriya muft hai.

How to Correct Mistakes After Submission

Nari Shakti Doot app mein login karein, ‘Edit Application’ mein jaakar document change kar sakti hain. Lekin kuch fields jaise Aadhaar number nahi badal sakti, isliye pehli baar hi satark rahein.
