PFMS Scholarship 2021: Payment Status, Eligibility & Rewards

March 5, 2021 by Karan Kapoor 54 Comments

PFMS Scholarship 2021: The full form of PFMS is Public Financial Management System. PFMS is a unique initiative by the central government to channel scholarships directly to the intended user without any middlemen engaging in the scholarship amount’s disbursal.

This scholarship amount is facilitated through the ‘Direct Benefits Transfer’ method to reach the candidate’s hands, reducing any foul play/misuse of money by other agents in the fund transmission process. Money is lent to the candidates’ account from the central government fund through the NEFT process.
