Pending Fellowship Dues? UGC Launches Legacy Portal to Track Payments and Fix KYC Issues

UGC has activated a legacy fellowship and scholarship portal on its Student Corner today, August 27, 2026 (IST). The link lets scholars track pending dues, correct KYC, and file claims. It targets long‑pending cases that shifted across systems, easing anxiety among many Junior Research Fellowship and Senior Research Fellowship holders. Website metadata also reflects today’s refresh.

Coverage focuses on legacy records on Canara Bank’s Scholarship and Fellowship Management Portal, including UGC JRF or SRF beneficiaries and earlier scholarship batches. Current‑year Post Graduate and Ishan Uday scholarships run on the National Scholarship Portal. Keep your application ID, Aadhaar and bank account details handy before checking status or raising a claim.

How to use the UGC legacy portal today

Open UGC’s Student Corner, choose Portals and Helplines, then select Web Portal for Fellowship or Scholarship Legacy Cases. Log in via Scholar’s Corner and open Payment Schedule to see real‑time statuses. Watch for “GENERATED–Pending with UGC for digital signature” or “Certificate initiation or approval pending” with your institute. Ensure Payment Mode shows “AADHAAR BASED” after seeding.

Fix KYC issues fast: Aadhaar and IFSC checklist

An Aadhaar‑seeded bank account is now central to fellowship payments through Aadhaar Enabled Payment System. If seeding is missing, update it through your bank and recheck on the portal; the profile should display “AADHAAR BASED.” Verify the current IFSC with your bank before updating details to avoid payment failures.

Expected timelines and what to do if payments stall

Institutes typically confirm monthly continuity by the 15th; after corrections, credits usually appear by the end of the next month. First disbursals can take one full cycle. If stuck, contact your Institute Nodal Officer, then UGC Scholarship Helpline 011‑23604505, NSP Helpdesk for NSP schemes, or raise a case on e‑Samadhan.

Phishing safeguards and safe domains for students

UGC recently warned against impostors soliciting money or credentials. Interact only with official domains, including ugc.gov.in, scholarships.gov.in and scholarship.canarabank.in. Never share OTPs, passwords or pay any “processing fee.” Report dubious contact to your institute and log a grievance on e‑Samadhan for tracking and escalation.
