The DRCC visit is the single physical checkpoint in an otherwise online MNSSBY journey. Walk in fully kitted and you finish in 12 minutes; forget one sheet and you’ll repeat a 60-km round trip. Below are the ten documents that DRCC officers insist on, plus expert packing tactics that keep you at the counter—not the photocopy kiosk.
1. Aadhaar Card (Original + 2 Self-Attested Copies)
Used for biometrics and bank-NPCI sync. The QR code on the latest PVC version scans faster—carry that if you have it.
2. Bihar Domicile Certificate
Must be issued by the Circle Office/SDO after 2018. Older certificates often get flagged because the template changed in 2023.
3. Class 10 Marksheet and Certificate
Confirms date of birth. Officers match the name spelling here with Aadhaar; fix discrepancies in Aadhaar before visit.
4. Class 12 Marksheet and Certificate
Key proof of educational qualification. Bring both even if you scored in 2014—digital lockers are not accepted at the desk.
5. Bank Passbook (CBS-Enabled)
Page showing IFSC and account holder’s name. Joint accounts lead to instant rejection; open a solo account if needed.
6. Recent Passport-Size Photograph
45 KB–200 KB digital copy already lives on the portal; DRCC still clips one hard copy to the physical docket. Matte finish prints avoid glare under the scanner.
7. Online Application Receipt (Printed PDF)
Contains the QR code that pulls your file up on the officer’s screen. Many first-timers forget this and lose their slot while scrambling for an internet café.
8. DRCC Appointment Slip (If Pre-Booked)
Speeds you into the priority queue. Walk-ins are still allowed, but you’ll wait behind the appointment ledger.
9. Self-Declaration of Unemployment
One-page format downloaded from your dashboard. Sign in blue ink; black pen gets rejected under the June 2025 visual-authentication rule.
10. Aadhaar-Seeding Confirmation SMS or Printout
Not mandatory on paper, yet priceless when the portal shows “Bank-NPCI Mismatch.” The SMS from your bank serves as on-the-spot evidence.
Packing Strategy That Works
- Sequence files: originals first, copies behind—officers flip through left-to-right.
- Clip, don’t staple: DRCC scanners hate staples; use translucent plastic clips.
- Label your envelope: Name + registration ID + mobile. Saves time if the desk stacks multiple files.
Common Pitfalls—and How to Dodge Them
| Mistake | Outcome | Quick Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Old domicile certificate | Officer asks for reissue | Apply online; most districts deliver in 48 hrs |
| Bank passbook in parent’s name | Application kept pending | Open personal zero-balance SB account |
| Photo glossy, reflective | Scanner rejects image | Re-print in matte finish |
| Stapled papers | Slows verification | Remove staples on the spot |
What Happens If You Forget a Document?
The officer marks the file “Objection Raised”; you get 15 days to return with the missing paper. Ignore the deadline and the portal auto-cancels your registration, forcing a fresh start. Save fuel—double-check before you leave home.
Ten-Second Departure Checklist
- Aadhaar matched to marksheet spelling
- Bank account seeded with Aadhaar
- All originals + two attested copies ready
- Appointment slip and application receipt printed
- Blue pen for declarations
Closing Note
Your DRCC visit is the make-or-break moment for MNSSBY. Treat the ten documents above as non-negotiable, pack them like exam hall supplies, and you’ll walk out in under a quarter-hour with “Verification Complete” flashing green on your dashboard—and one giant step closer to that monthly ₹1,000 credit.
