Step-by-Step Online Application Process
Verify Labour Card
First, check the status of your father's or mother's Labour Card online. Ensure the 'Anshdaan' (renewal fee) is paid and the card is currently active.
Get School Certificate
Download the standard Bonafide format from the BOCW portal, fill it, and get it stamped and signed by your school/college Principal.
Apply on BOCW Portal
Visit your state's BOCW website (e.g., upbocw.in for UP). Go to the 'Apply Scheme' section, enter the Labour Registration Number, and select 'Shiksha Sahayata'.
Submit to Labour Office
Upload all documents online. After final submission, you may need to submit a printed copy to your district's Assistant Labour Commissioner office.
Labour Card Inactive or Funds Stuck?
A huge number of Labour Card scholarship forms are rejected because the parent's Labour Card has expired (Anshdaan Jama Nahi Hai) or the bank account is not mapped with NPCI. Sometimes, the child's name is not properly added to the parent's Shramik profile.
