However, one common issue that many users face is dealing with missing documents during the application process.

If you’ve encountered a situation where your application is marked as incomplete or rejected due to missing documents, don’t worry! This guide will help you understand how to handle missing documents in Seva Sindhu, fix the issue, and complete your application. We’ll walk you through the steps to ensure that your documents are properly uploaded, that you know how to track the application status, and how to re-upload or provide missing information.

Before diving into solutions, let’s first understand why this issue might arise and what the “missing document” error usually means.

If you’ve been notified that your application is missing documents, here’s what you can do to correct the issue and proceed with your application.

To begin addressing the issue, log in to your Seva Sindhu account. Go to the official Seva Sindhu portal and enter your registered credentials (mobile number/email address and password).

Once logged in, go to the Track Application section and review the status of your application. You will be able to see which documents are missing or have not been uploaded correctly.

Actions to take:

Each service on Seva Sindhu has specific requirements for documents. If you have missed uploading a mandatory document, refer to the service guidelines to make sure you know what’s required.

Common Documents That May Be Required:

Make sure to double-check the document checklist for the service you’re applying for.

Now that you know what’s missing, you can go ahead and re-upload the missing documents in the correct format.

Things to keep in mind:

Once you’ve uploaded the missing documents, submit your application again. After submission, your application will go through the processing stage.

Actions to take:

To avoid encountering missing document errors in the future, here are some preventive measures you can take when applying on Seva Sindhu.

Before submitting your application, ensure you know exactly what documents are needed for the service you’re applying for. Make sure you have all the required documents in the correct format and size.

Tip: Seva Sindhu usually provides a document checklist for each service. Review this before starting your application to ensure everything is covered.

When scanning your documents, make sure that they are clear and legible. Avoid blurry or cropped images. Scanned copies should be well-lit and high-resolution.

Make sure your files are in the correct format before uploading. Most services require PDFs for documents like income proofs or certificates, and JPG or JPEG for images (such as your photo or address proof).

If you’re uploading documents that are too large, use an online tool or software to compress the file size. You can use websites like ILovePDF, SmallPDF, or JPG2PDF to reduce file size without losing quality.

Make sure that the documents you upload are current and relevant. For example, an old bank statement or an outdated address proof might lead to your application being flagged as incomplete.

Before clicking submit, always review your entire application. Double-check that all the necessary fields are filled out and that all the documents are uploaded correctly. You can also read: Why Seva Sindhu Shows ‘Document Not Clear’ and How to Fix It
