About this scholarship

Administered via the Har-Chhatravratti system, the Haryana Post Matric Scholarship extends vital financial backing to SC and BC scholars entering higher education. It closely relies on the Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP) framework for automated caste and income checks, drastically cutting down on paperwork. Beneficiaries receive a maintenance allowance alongside reimbursement of non-refundable tuition fees, with rates varying for day scholars versus hostellers. Since the PPP serves as the ultimate data source, maintaining an accurate Family ID is mandatory to avoid application rejection. Please note that while ₹2.5 lakh represents the central ceiling for the SC component, Haryana can dictate its own thresholds. The precise income limit for BC applicants remains unverified, so you must confirm your specific category's financial cap on the Har-Chhatravratti platform.

Documents you need

  • Parivar Pehchan Patra (Family ID)
  • Aadhaar card
  • Haryana Domicile Certificate
  • Caste certificate (SC/BC)
  • Income certificate
  • Previous class marksheet
  • Fee receipt of the current course
  • Bank account linked with Aadhaar

How to apply

  1. Ensure your Parivar Pehchan Patra (Family ID) is fully updated with accurate caste and income details.
  2. Log in to the Har-Chhatravratti portal using your Family ID.
  3. Select the SC or BC Post Matric Scholarship scheme from the available list.
  4. Fill in your academic and bank details, and upload the fee receipt and previous marksheets.
  5. Submit the application online; it will automatically route to your institution and then to the nodal officer for verification.

Why applications get rejected

  • Applying with an unverified Family ID, which causes the Har-Chhatravratti portal to reject the application outright.
  • Entering a bank account number that is not linked to Aadhaar, preventing the DBT payment.
  • Forgetting to submit the physical copy of the application form to the college, halting the institutional verification step.
