For those who were receiving the payment through Canara Bank earlier, University/Institution need not enter the account number/IFSC code while linking, as their account details/IFSC code are already available. For the scholars who were submitting the certificates to Canara Bank Branches, the Student ID needs to be linked to UGC Portal as per new Procedure. Presently linking for the existing candidates will be allowed within 24 months from date of last certificate uploaded. These scholarships are managed through the Scholarship and Fellowship Management Portal (SFMP), designated by UGC as the nodal agency for disbursement. Eligible students receive the benefits directly in their bank accounts, ensuring a seamless process. Now Monthly Payment Initiation can be done by scholar through Scholar’s corner or SFMP by Scholar and Nodal officer respectively. This option is used to confirm the list of candidates under a particular scheme for whom Fellowship/ Scholarship is to be disbursed for the month. Through the SFMP scholars corner, the students can initiate the Online joining report, know the status of fellowship, schedule, submit grievance and view various other details related to their fellowship disbursed through the canara bank Scholarship and fellowship management portal (SFMP).
