Many students face issues where the status shows “Sanctioned” but money is not credited. This usually happens due to:
- IFSC Code Change: If your bank has merged (e.g., UBI to PNB, Allahabad to Indian Bank), your old IFSC code is invalid.
- Account Limit: Ensure your student account does not have a transaction limit.
If you face this, submit a written application to your College/School office immediately with the new bank passbook copy.
