About this tool
Draft an RTI seeking scholarship verification stages, sanction and DBT disbursal details, and the recorded reason for a rejection.
This tool drafts an application under Section 6(1) of the Right to Information Act 2005 to trace a scholarship through every stage it passes — institute verification, district and state verification, sanction, and the Direct Benefit Transfer push into the bank account — and to obtain the recorded ground for a rejection. Section 4(1)(d) of the same Act requires a public authority to provide reasons for its administrative decisions to affected persons, which is what turns 'why was I rejected' into an answerable question. The draft also calculates the 30-day reply deadline under Section 7(1) and the appeal windows that follow, and states how long the application has been pending.

Queries mirror the actual chain of institute, district, state, sanction and payment, so each one names a record that exists.
Section 4(1)(d) is quoted directly, which makes a bare 'not eligible' answer hard to defend.
Reply, transfer, first appeal and second appeal dates are worked from the filing date, alongside the exact pendency in months and days.
Yes. Section 4(1)(d) of the Right to Information Act 2005 obliges a public authority to provide reasons for its administrative or quasi-judicial decisions to affected persons, so asking for the order, the ground recorded and the guideline clause relied on is a proper request rather than a request for an opinion.
Address the office that actually holds the record you need: the institute for verification entries, the district welfare office for forwarding lists, the state department for sanction and rejection orders, and the central ministry for scheme guidelines and fund releases. If you pick the wrong one the application must be transferred within five days under Section 6(3), which costs time.
Thirty days from receipt under Section 7(1). If the deadline is missed, Section 7(6) requires the information to be given free of charge, and Section 20(1) allows a penalty of Rs 250 per day up to Rs 25,000 on the Public Information Officer. A first appeal lies within 30 days under Section 19(1) and a second appeal within 90 days under Section 19(3).
Ask for the sanction order, the date the payment file was generated and pushed, the DBT or PFMS transaction reference, the failure reason recorded by the bank or payment system, and the Aadhaar seeding or NPCI mapping status recorded against the application. Most such cases turn out to be an unseeded or wrongly mapped bank account, and the transaction reference is what lets the branch trace it. This is general information, not legal or financial advice.
