How to Do eKYC on the Digishakti Portal Through MeriPehchaan Portal

The Uttar Pradesh government has started a new rule for students. To get free tablets and smartphones, students must now use Aadhaar verification through the Digishakti portal. This new rule aims to make the process smoother and faster. Here’s a simple guide to help you complete the eKYC process.

What is Digishakti Portal and Why is Aadhaar Verification Important?

Digishakti is an initiative by the Uttar Pradesh government to ensure that eligible students receive free tablets and smartphones under its welfare scheme. The Aadhaar-based eKYC ensures that the benefits reach the correct students, preventing misuse of government resources. Completing the eKYC is crucial to authenticate your identity and proceed with receiving the devices.

Here is a step-by-step easy guide to complete Digishakti eKYC.

Step 1: Go to the Digishakti Website

First, visit the Digishakti website. On the homepage, look for the button that says e-KYC through MeriPehchaan Portal and click on it. You can visit direct through Digishakti eKYC link given above in the Blue colour.

Step 2: Fill in Your Details

You’ll see a screen with some fields where you need to enter your information. Fill these out carefully, then click on the Search button.

Step 3: Check Your e-KYC Status

Once you click Search, your details from the Digishakti Portal should appear on the screen. If your Aadhaar e-KYC status shows as “Pending,” click on the button that says Verify through the Login Using e-Pramaan MeriPehchaan.

Note: If your data is being verified by your department, you might see an alert saying, “Your data verification is under process.”

Step 4: Sign In or Sign Up on MeriPehchaan

You’ll be redirected to the MeriPehchaan portal. If you already have an account, simply sign in using your login details.

For new users, you’ll be asked to enter your mobile number. Once you do that, click on Generate OTP. You’ll receive a One-Time Password (OTP) on your phone. Enter the OTP to verify your mobile number.

Step 6: Accept Terms and Conditions

Step 7: Enter Aadhaar Information

Once you’ve signed up or logged in, you’ll be taken to the Aadhaar e-KYC page. Here, you’ll need to enter your Aadhaar number. You’ll also need to choose how you want to receive your OTP—either on your mobile number or email.

Click on Verify through e-KYC to move forward.

Step 8: Verify the OTP

An OTP will be sent to your registered mobile number or email. Enter this OTP in the box provided and click on Verify.

If everything goes smoothly, you’ll see a success message confirming that your details have been verified.

Step 10: Check the Verification Status

Once your Aadhaar is successfully verified, the Verify through the Login Using e-Pramaan MeriPehchaan button will disappear, and your status on the Digishakti website will show as Verified.

Step 11: What to Do if Your Verification Fails

If your status shows Failed, it means there’s a mismatch between your data on the Digishakti portal and your Aadhaar. Here’s what to do:

• Contact your Institution Nodal Officer to update the incorrect information on the Digishakti portal, or
• Make the necessary changes to your Aadhaar card details.

Once the changes are made, your data will go through the verification process again, starting with approval from your institution, then your university, and finally, a lock by the department.

After these corrections, you’ll be able to try Aadhaar verification again.

What Happens After Verification?

• If your status is Verified, your data will be visible to your institute. They’ll forward it to the District Nodal Officer, who will approve it so you can receive your device.
• If your data has already been sent to the district, it will be visible at the District Nodal Officer level for selection.

What If the Details Don’t Match?

If the information (like your name, gender, or date of birth) on the Digishakti portal doesn’t match your Aadhaar details, you’ll see an alert. The mismatched details will be highlighted.
