Applying for the Mukhya Mantrir Nijut Moina Aasoni (Nijut Moina Scheme) becomes much easier when you prepare your documents in advance. This section gives you a complete, easy-to-follow checklist so you know exactly what to keep ready, why each document matters, where to get it, and what commonly causes problems in an application — so you can submit with confidence.
The documents required for the Nijut Moina Scheme mainly include your duly filled application form, Aadhaar card, bank passbook (Aadhaar-linked account), a passport-size photograph, your academic certificates/marksheets (10th, 12th, and degree, as applicable), and your college admission receipt. Some institutions may also ask for proof of Assam residency as part of eligibility verification — check with your college for the exact list they require.
1. Duly Filled Application Form
Why it is needed: This is the primary document that carries all your personal, academic, and bank details for the scheme.
Where to get it: Collect it free of cost from your school/college counter, or complete it on the official online application portal shared by your institution.
Before submitting: Double-check that every field is filled, especially your name, course details, and bank account information — errors here are one of the most common causes of application problems.
2. Aadhaar Card
Why it is needed: Aadhaar is used to verify your identity and is linked to the bank account through which your monthly assistance is transferred (DBT).
Where to get it: Available from UIDAI — you likely already have a copy; if not, visit the nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra.
Before submitting: Make sure your name and other details on Aadhaar exactly match your college records and bank account. A mismatch can hold up your application.
3. Bank Passbook (Aadhaar-Linked Account)
Why it is needed: Your monthly scholarship amount is credited directly to your bank account through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), so the account must be active and linked to your Aadhaar.
Where to get it: Obtain or update your passbook at your bank branch, and confirm Aadhaar-seeding status there if unsure.
Before submitting: Check that the account number and IFSC code are entered correctly on the form, and that the account is Aadhaar-linked and active.
4. Passport-Size Photograph
Why it is needed: Used for identity verification and institution records.
Where to get it: Any local photo studio; some institutions also accept a recent digital photo for online submission.
Before submitting: Use a recent, clear photograph as per your institution’s specifications (avoid old or blurry photos).
5. Academic Certificates and Marksheets (10th, 12th, Degree — as applicable)
Why it is needed: These confirm your educational qualification and current level of study, which determines your eligibility and the incentive amount.
Where to get it: Issued by your respective board/university, or available from your school/college records office.
Before submitting: Verify that the name and other details on these certificates match your Aadhaar and application form exactly.
6. College/Institution Admission Receipt
Why it is needed: Confirms that you are currently enrolled in an eligible institution and course for the relevant academic session.
Where to get it: Issued by your college/institution’s admission or accounts office at the time of admission or fee payment.
Before submitting: Make sure the receipt reflects the correct academic year and course.
7. Mobile Number (Linked to Aadhaar)
Why it is needed: Used for OTP verification during online application and for receiving scheme-related updates.
Where to get it: Ensure your existing mobile number is Aadhaar-linked; if not, update it through your nearest Aadhaar centre.
Before submitting: Confirm the number is active and accessible to you, since it may be needed for verification.
A Note on PRC, Domicile, and Bonafide Certificates
Eligibility for the Nijut Moina Scheme requires that the applicant be a permanent resident of Assam. However, official sources do not consistently list a Permanent Resident Certificate (PRC), domicile certificate, or bona fide certificate as separate documents to be attached with the application — in many cases, residency and enrolment are verified directly by the institution using your existing records.
This means:
- Required documents (attach with your form): application form, Aadhaar card, bank passbook, photo, academic certificates, admission receipt.
- Information/details students need to provide or confirm: permanent residency status, current enrolment status, and bank account details — these are usually verified by your institution rather than submitted as a separate certificate.
Because individual institutions can have their own additional requirements, always confirm with your school/college whether a PRC or bona fide certificate is specifically needed in your case before assuming it is or isn’t required.

Common Mistakes That May Cause Problems With Your Application
Submitting an application doesn’t guarantee smooth processing if the details don’t match up. Here are common application mistakes that may cause problems:
- Name mismatch between Aadhaar, bank passbook, and academic certificates.
- Incorrect bank account number or IFSC code, which can stop your monthly payment from reaching you.
- Aadhaar not linked to the bank account used for DBT.
- Blurry or unreadable scanned documents, especially for online submissions.
- Missing academic certificates relevant to your current course level.
- Admission receipt not matching the current academic year or course.
- Incomplete application form, with blank or skipped fields.
- Submitting outdated documents instead of the current session’s certificates.
- Not checking institution-specific instructions, since some colleges request additional documents.
- Missing the submission deadline set by the institution.
None of these guarantee rejection on their own, but they are the most frequently reported reasons applications face delays or need resubmission. Fixing these before you submit gives your application the best chance of smooth processing.

Nijut Moina Scheme 2026 FAQ
Do I need a domicile certificate for the Nijut Moina Scheme?
Being a permanent resident of Assam is an eligibility requirement for the scheme, but official sources generally don’t list a separate domicile certificate as a document to attach with the application — residency is typically confirmed through your institution’s verification. If your college specifically asks for a domicile or residence proof, follow their instructions, since requirements can vary by institution.
Is a bona fide certificate compulsory for the Nijut Moina Scheme?
A bona fide certificate is not consistently listed as a mandatory attachment in the official documents required for this scheme. Your enrolment is usually verified directly by your institution using its own records. If your college asks for one as part of its internal process, it’s best to provide it, but don’t assume it’s compulsory for every applicant.
What if I don’t have a PRC for the Nijut Moina Scheme?
If a PRC isn’t listed as a required attachment by your institution, you may not need one to apply. If your college specifically requests it, you should apply for a PRC through the official process at your local Circle Office or the Deputy Commissioner’s office, rather than looking for shortcuts. Speak to your institution’s Nijut Moina coordinator first to confirm whether it’s actually needed in your case.
What documents are required for the Nijut Moina Scheme 2026?
The documents required for the Nijut Moina Scheme mainly include the duly filled application form, Aadhaar card, Aadhaar-linked bank passbook, passport-size photograph, relevant academic certificates (10th/12th/degree, as applicable), and your college admission receipt. Use the checklist above to prepare all of these in advance.
Where can I get the Nijut Moina Scheme documents?
Most documents come from sources you likely already have access to: your college (application form and admission receipt), UIDAI (Aadhaar), your bank branch (passbook), and your school/college/university (academic certificates). See the table above for a quick reference on each document.
Can I submit photocopies or scanned copies of the documents?
This depends on whether you’re applying offline through your institution or online through the portal. Offline submissions typically require physical copies or attested photocopies, while online applications require clear scanned copies or photos of the originals. Always follow the specific instructions given by your institution, since the accepted format can vary.
