2026-27 Ke Naye Official Rules (Portal Se Verified)

Dono official portals (pmsonline.bihar.gov.in - BC/EBC aur scstpmsonline.bihar.gov.in - SC/ST) pe ye instructions likhi hain:

Rule	Kya Hai
Documents	Sirf income + caste certificate chahiye - residential/niwas certificate ki zaroorat NAHI hai is baar
Course Year	Auto-select hota hai session ke hisab se - khud mat badlo
Aadhaar Seeding	Anivarya - bank account DBT ke liye Aadhaar-seeded na ho to application finalize hi nahi hogi
Income certificate	01-04-2026 ya uske baad ka issue kiya hua hona chahiye
Caste certificate	Pichhle do academic session se current session tak ka valid
Academic documents	01-04-2026 se 31-03-2027 ke beech ke

Aggregator noise se bacho: "colour documents mandatory", "2 bete wala limit" aur "OTR zaroori" - ye teeno kisi bhi official portal pe likhe NAHI hain. OTR sirf NSP (scholarships.gov.in) ka rule hai, Bihar PMS ka nahi - dono portal alag hain.
