  • 01. Always provide the e-Challan original counterfoil; xerox copies are often rejected by the Govt. Press.

Avoid Rejections

  • ! Signature mismatch between application form and affidavit is the #1 cause of rejection.
  • ! Ahaaar/Voter ID address not matching the native village mentioned in the form.
