After recording your details on the form, click “send pin.” Let me remind you that you must enter the correct data to ensure no possibility of any error. Hence be very careful during the process.

Step 4: SMS Notification

After the last process, you will receive a message notification on your mobile comprising an OTP (One-Time Pin) code. Enter this pin in the required mandatory category. And then press “verify pin.”

Step 5: Reason For Reinstating

After verifying, they would ask for a reason as to why you are reinstating your application. You will be presented with options such as canceled in error, no longer having income or other. Select the correct reason. A message will pop up asking you, “Are you sure you want to reinstate the grant”?. It’s just a confirmation message; you must click yes to proceed.

If your application meets the required eligibility criteria, it will be accepted, and you will receive feedback from the system shortly. Therefore you must meet the requirement before applying for the grants.

Why Should You Reinstate Your Application

The applicants might have canceled their applications because they found a stable job and can financially support themselves. Hence, they don’t need grants and will no longer be eligible to apply for them.

But if you later find yourself in a very difficult position and can’t financially support yourself, you can then reinstate your application. Hence you will keep on receiving the benefits. Moreover, you can cancel and reinstate whenever it suits you.

Keep in mind that the SRD applicants must update or reconfirm their application, at a minimum, once every three months. Therefore, you must update your details.
