FAQ's

Can the 30 November last date be extended?

It has happened before. For 2024-25 the government moved the date to 31 December, but no extension is announced for 2026-27, so treat 30 November as final.

What if the newborn girl is older than six months?

The portal rejects first stage forms filed after six months from birth. She can still apply for the ₹51,000 stage after Class 12.

Can a girl apply twice for the same stage?

No. More than one form for the same girl and the same stage gets cancelled.
