Common Questions (FAQs)
Q. What is Kutumba ID and why is it needed for SSP?▼

No, a student can only apply for one scholarship (either pre-matric for classes 1-10 or post-matric for higher classes) in any given academic year.
Q. How do I check if my bank account is seeded with Aadhaar for SSP?▼
You can check your Aadhaar-seeding status on the official UIDAI website or the SSP portal's DBT status tracking page to ensure successful payment disbursement.
