• How to Apply (Process on MP TAAS Portal)

Here’s a typical step-by-step process to apply for scholarship via MPTAAS:

• Go to the official portal: https://tribal.mp.gov.in/MPTAAS.
• If you’re a first-time applicant: click on “New Beneficiary Registration” (नयाहितग्राहीप्रोफाइलपंजीकरण). Provide your Samagra ID (10-digit) — portal can auto-fetch personal details.
• Perform Aadhaar e-KYC verification via OTP (linked Aadhaar + mobile).
• Verify the auto-fetched details. If any detail is wrong, it must first be corrected on the Samagra portal.
• Fill in your educational details (course, institution, year/semester), and bank account details (account number, IFSC) for DBT.
• Upload required documents: previous year’s marksheet, current year fee receipt, bonafide certificate, caste certificate, income certificate (if required), and bank passbook/bank details.
• Submit the application. The portal will forward your application for departmental verification (Welfare/Tribal/SC Dept) for eligibility check (income, caste, academic, domicile criteria etc.).
• If approved, scholarship/funds are disbursed via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to your bank account.
• You can log back in any time to check “Application Status / Payment Status / Track Application” on portal.

For renewal (for continuing students): after logging in to your account, there’s an option “Scholarship Renewal” — you need to enter current course/semester details and upload updated documents (e.g. marksheet/fee receipt/hostel certificate).
