What payment / FTO statuses mean
| Status (as shown) | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Pending for signature / FTO not signed | The FTO (the order to send money) has been created, but the officer has not signed it digitally yet. | Wait a few days. If it takes too long, ask at the block office. |
| Sent to bank / Sent to PFMS | The order has gone to the bank or PFMS – the money is on its way. | It usually reaches your account within a few days. Update your passbook. |
| Processed / Credited / Success | The money has been sent to your account. | Check your passbook or bank SMS. If you can't see it, ask your bank. |
| Rejected | The bank returned the payment, usually because of an account or Aadhaar problem. | Check the reasons below, get it fixed, and tell the panchayat or block so the money is sent again. |
| Aadhaar not mapped / Inactive Aadhaar (NPCI) | Your Aadhaar is not linked (mapped) to a bank account for payments. | Ask your bank to do Aadhaar seeding and NPCI mapping. |
| Account closed / Account frozen / Dormant | The account is closed, frozen, or has not been used for a long time. | Get the account reactivated at the bank, or register a new account with the panchayat. |
| Invalid account / Invalid IFSC | The account number or IFSC in the records is wrong. | Ask the panchayat or Rozgar Sahayak to correct the bank details on your job card. |
| Wage list not generated | The muster roll or work measurement is not finished yet, so the payment list has not been made. | Ask the panchayat when the measurement will be done. |
| P / A / N (muster roll) | In the muster roll, P = present, A = absent, N = no work given that day. | If you were marked A by mistake, speak to the mate or Rozgar Sahayak straight away. |
| * (job card list) | An asterisk (*) next to a name in the job card list means the card has been deleted. | Ask the gram panchayat why, and apply again if needed. |
Status wording on the portal may differ slightly. Confirm with your Gram Panchayat or block office.
