How to Fix Bank– Aadhaar ID Mismatch on MPTAAS Without Delay
When your MPTAAS Scholarship payment is delayed or marked as “Released but Not Credited,” it often points to a bank account-Aadhaar ID mismatch. Luckily, this is a common issue and can be easily fixed by following a few simple steps.
Most Common Reasons for Bank-Aadhaar Mismatch
Several factors could lead to discrepancies between your Aadhaar and bank details when applying for the Madhya Pradesh TAAS Scholarship:
Small variations in name spelling between Aadhaar and bank records.
If your Aadhaar is not linked to your bank account.
Mistakes while entering account details.
The bank account is either closed or not active.
Errors made by the college during document verification.
Step-by-Step Process to Correct the Mismatch
Review Your Information
Log into the MPTAAS Portal and check:
Your registered name (compare with Aadhaar and bank records)
Bank details (account number, IFSC code)
Aadhaar details (name, date of birth, gender)
Ensure Name and Date of Birth Match
Compare the name on Aadhaar with that on your bank passbook. Any discrepancies, even small, can cause delays.
Make sure the date of birth on both Aadhaar and bank records are identical.
If any information is incorrect, update it either on the UIDAI portal for Aadhaar or at your bank branch.
Link Aadhaar to Your Bank Account
This is a crucial step to ensure Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
You can link your Aadhaar by visiting your bank branch or through net banking, mobile app, or even via ATM in some cases.
After linking, verify the linkage through NPCI Aadhaar Mapper to confirm that everything is in place.

If you’ve changed your bank account or found an error in the previously entered data: Log in to MPTAAS
Go to Profile → Bank Details → Edit
Enter the correct account number and IFSC code
Save and resubmit the application
Track Your Payment Status
Wait for 3–7 days for the system to process your update.
Revisit the Application Status → Payment Status section.
If it reads “Released for Payment”, the funds will be transferred soon.
If the payment is not credited in 10 days, contact your bank branch and college office.
