Documents Required for PM Internship Scheme
A complete checklist of every document you need to register, apply, and complete onboarding — with notes on formats and what to do if you are missing something.
Gather all your documents before you begin the registration process. Uploading complete, legible documents significantly improves your chances of being shortlisted — companies can reject applications with missing or unclear documents.
Tips for Uploading Documents
Scan, Don't Photograph
Use a scanner or a scanning app (like Adobe Scan or CamScanner) to get clear, flat images. Blurry or angled phone photos are a common reason for rejection.
Keep Files Under 2MB
Most portals have a 2MB limit per document. Compress your PDFs and JPEGs before uploading using free tools like Smallpdf or iLovePDF.
Income Certificate
This must be issued by a government authority — tehsildar, SDM, gram pradhan with collector countersign, or BDO. Self-declarations are not accepted.
Aadhaar-Bank Link
Your bank account must be linked to your Aadhaar for DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) of the monthly stipend. Verify this at your bank before applying.
Missing Documents
If you are missing an educational certificate, contact your school or board for a duplicate. Income certificates can be obtained from your local tehsil office.
Keep Originals Ready
During onboarding, the company may ask to verify original documents. Keep your originals safely accessible even after uploading digital copies.
