Quick Answer:
Nijut Moina scheme money is paid for 10 months only — August to May. There are no payments in June and July because those are summer vacation months. The amount is Rs 1,000 per month for Class 11-12 students, Rs 1,250 per month for undergraduate students, and Rs 2,500 per month for postgraduate and BEd students. Payment comes directly to the student’s Aadhaar-linked bank account through DBT. There is no fixed announced date within the month. If your payment has not come, check your bank passbook first, then contact your college principal or the Higher Education Department helpdesk at dhe-asm@nic.in.
Nijut Moina Payment Date 2026 (Quick Facts)
- Payment months: August to May (10 months only)
- No payment in: June and July
- Credit time: Between 1st and 20th of each month
- Mode: DBT to Aadhaar-linked bank account
- Check delay after: 20th of the month
You got selected for Nijut Moina. Your college submitted your documents, your application was verified, and you received a confirmation. The first payment came in August. September came and the money arrived again. Then one month it just did not come. Or maybe your friend received her payment but yours is missing. Or you are waiting for April’s installment and the month is almost over.
This happens quite often in Nijut Moina because the payment goes through multiple steps — college verification, DHE processing, DBT release, and then bank credit. If there is a delay at any one step, your payment can get pushed to the next batch. And because the government does not send SMS alerts or individual payment notifications, students often do not know whether the delay is normal or whether something has actually gone wrong.

This guide explains exactly which months you get paid, when within the month the money typically arrives, and the specific steps to follow when payment does not come.
Which Months Does Nijut Moina Pay — and Which Months It Does Not
This is the single most important thing to understand about Nijut Moina payment timing. The scheme does not pay 12 months a year. It pays for 10 months only — the academic months.
| Month | Payment Status | Notes |
| August | Yes — paid | First month of the academic year — typically when the first installment is released |
| September | Yes — paid | Regular monthly payment |
| October | Yes — paid | Regular monthly payment |
| November | Yes — paid | Regular monthly payment |
| December | Yes — paid | Regular monthly payment |
| January | Yes — paid | Regular monthly payment |
| February | Yes — paid | Regular monthly payment |
| March | Yes — paid | Regular monthly payment |
| April | Yes — paid | Regular monthly payment — 9th installment for 2025-26 batch |
| May | Yes — paid | Last month of the academic year — 10th and final installment for 2025-26 batch |
| June | NO PAYMENT | Summer vacation — scheme does not pay this month. This is normal. |
| July | NO PAYMENT | Summer vacation — scheme does not pay this month. This is normal. |
| If your June or July payment did not come — this is not a problem. The scheme officially does not pay during summer vacation months. Payments resume automatically in August when the new academic year begins. You do not need to re-apply or contact anyone. The money simply does not come in June and July for every student across the state. |
When Within the Month Does the Payment Come?
The Higher Education Department does not fix a specific date every month for each payment. Unlike a salary that comes on the 1st or the 7th, Nijut Moina payments are processed in batches and released on different working days each month.
Based on the payment pattern since the scheme started in 2024, payments typically arrive in student bank accounts anywhere between the 1st and the 20th of each month. The wide range happens because the process involves the college submitting attendance confirmation, the DHE processing the batch, and the bank crediting the accounts — each step takes a few days.
| Practical approach: Check your bank passbook or your bank balance app after the 10th of each month. If the money has not arrived by the 20th of the month, that is when you should start investigating — not before. Some months the payment arrives early in the first week, other months it stretches toward the third week. Both are within normal range. In many colleges across Assam, payments are not credited on the same day for all students — even within the same class, some students receive it earlier while others get it in a later batch. |
Amount by Education Level — What You Should Receive Each Month
| Education Level | Monthly Amount | Paid For How Many Months | Total Per Year |
| Class 11 and Class 12 (Higher Secondary) | Rs 1,000 per month | 10 months (August to May) | Rs 10,000 per academic year |
| Undergraduate — BA, BSc, BCom, first year | Rs 1,250 per month | 10 months (August to May) | Rs 12,500 per academic year |
| Postgraduate — MA, MSc, MCom, BEd | Rs 2,500 per month | 10 months (August to May) | Rs 25,000 per academic year |
These amounts are confirmed from the official Assam Higher Education Department (DHE) guidelines for Nijut Moina 2.0 (2025–26). If you are receiving a different amount or if nothing has been credited despite being approved, work through the steps in the next section.
Why Nijut Moina Payment Is Delayed or Missing — Specific Reasons
Reason 1 — Attendance below 75 percent
This is the most common reason individual students miss a monthly payment while their classmates receive it. The Nijut Moina scheme requires students to maintain at least 75 percent attendance as certified by their institution. If your attendance fell below this threshold in any month, your college may not have submitted your name for that month’s payment batch.
Fix: Talk to your college principal or the staff member handling Nijut Moina submissions. Ask whether your attendance certification was submitted for the month in question. If you had genuine medical or family reasons for low attendance, submit a leave application with supporting documentation — your college can choose to certify you if they find the reason valid.
Similar delays also happen in other student schemes like Jibon Prerana, where payments are released in batches and may not arrive at the same time every month.
Reason 2 — College submitted attendance late
The payment batch for each month is processed after the Higher Education Department receives attendance confirmation from all colleges. If your college submitted attendance data late — even by a few days — your payment may be pushed to the following month’s batch. In this case, two months of payment may arrive together in the next cycle.
Fix: Nothing needed from your side. When a month is delayed due to late college submission, the payment catches up in the next batch. Check your passbook again after the following month’s payment date.
Reason 3 — Bank account details are wrong in the system
If you entered your bank account number or IFSC code incorrectly during application, or if your account number changed after you applied, every payment attempt is going to a wrong account. Some students changed banks between their application and approval — the old account is still in the system.
Fix: Contact your college immediately and ask them to verify the bank account number registered under your Nijut Moina application. If it is wrong, request a correction. The college submits the correction to the DHE. After the correction is processed, payment resumes — but months that bounced due to wrong account details may not be re-credited automatically. Raise this specifically with your college.
Reason 4 — Aadhaar not linked to bank account
Nijut Moina payments go through DBT — Direct Benefit Transfer — which requires your Aadhaar number to be seeded to your bank account. If you opened a new account specifically for this scheme but did not seed your Aadhaar, the DBT transfer cannot reach you.
Fix: Visit your bank branch with your Aadhaar card and ask them to seed your Aadhaar to your account. This is free and usually done on the same day. After seeding, check after 48 hours to confirm. The next monthly payment should come normally.
Reason 5 — Application not fully approved
Some students’ applications are still in the verification pipeline — documents were submitted but the DHE has not yet fully approved the application. In this case, payments have not started yet and will not start until approval is complete.
Fix: Ask your college principal the exact status of your Nijut Moina application. Is it submitted to DHE? Is it under verification? Has it been approved? If it has been more than 60 days since you submitted your application to the college and you have not received any payment, your principal should take this up with the district education office.
Reason 6 — New academic year — payment not yet released
For students who just enrolled in a new academic year — freshers in Class 11, first-year undergraduates — the first payment typically takes longer. Applications submitted in August or September may not see the first credit until October or November as the DHE processes the large volume of new applications at the start of every academic year.
Fix: Wait patiently and maintain attendance above 75 percent. The first payment for new students in any academic year is almost always delayed compared to continuing students. If nothing has come after 90 days of submission, ask your college to check the application status with DHE.
How to Check If Your Payment Was Released
Step 1 — Bank Passbook
Always start here. Visit your bank branch and update your passbook, or check your balance through your bank’s app or missed call service. The Nijut Moina credit shows as a DBT entry in your transaction history. If the passbook shows the credit, you have received the payment regardless of whether you got an SMS. If the passbook shows nothing, the payment has not reached your account.
Step 2 — Ask Your College
Your college is the point of contact between you and the Higher Education Department for Nijut Moina. The principal or the designated Nijut Moina coordinator at your college can check whether your attendance was submitted for the month and whether the DHE has released your payment. Ask specifically: was my name included in this month’s submission? Has DHE confirmed payment release for our college?
Step 3 — Higher Education Department Helpdesk
If your college cannot give you a clear answer, contact the Assam Higher Education Department directly:
Email: dhe-asm@nic.in
Write your full name, institution name, institution code, your application or enrollment number, and the specific month for which payment is missing. Keep a copy of your email.
| Keep all your Nijut Moina documents in one place — your application acknowledgement, your approval letter or SMS, and records of your bank account details submitted. These three things together allow any office to trace your payment quickly. A student who walks in with all three documents gets their problem resolved far faster than one who has to search for details on the spot. |
April and May 2026 — What to Expect for These Months
April 2026 is the 9th installment month for students who joined the 2025-26 batch from August 2025. May 2026 is the final — 10th — installment of the academic year.
After May 2026, there are no payments in June and July. This is not a problem or a cancellation — it is the normal annual pattern. Payments resume in August 2026 for the new academic year 2026-27. Continuing students will receive payments from August without needing to re-apply. Only freshers — students entering Class 11, first-year UG, or first-year PG in 2026-27 — need to apply through their colleges in August 2026.
| If you are a continuing student — currently in Class 11 moving to Class 12, or UG first year moving to second year — you do not need to submit a fresh application for the next academic year. Your college simply needs to certify that you are continuing your course. The scheme carries forward automatically for eligible continuing students. |
Nijut Moina vs Nijut Babu Asoni — Payment Dates Compared
Many families have both a daughter receiving Nijut Moina and a son receiving Nijut Babu Asoni — another Assam government scheme for male students.
| Scheme | For Whom | Monthly Amount | Payment Months | Department |
| Nijut Moina | Girl students — HS to PG | Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,500 | August to May (10 months) | Higher Education Dept |
| Nijut Babu Asoni | Male students — UG and PG | Rs 1,000 (UG), Rs 2,000 (PG) | Monthly — started Feb 2026 | Skill and Entrepreneurship Dept |
If both payments are expected in the same month and only one arrived, they are processed separately — a delay in one does not affect the other. Follow up with the respective department for whichever is missing.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does Nijut Moina scheme money come each month?
Nijut Moina payments arrive between the 1st and 20th of each paid month through DBT to the student’s Aadhaar-linked bank account. There is no single fixed date announced in advance. Check your bank passbook after the 10th of each month. If payment has not arrived by the 20th, contact your college to check whether your attendance was submitted and whether DHE has released the payment.
Which months does Nijut Moina not pay?
Nijut Moina does not pay in June and July. These are summer vacation months and the scheme covers only 10 academic months from August to May. If payment stopped in June — that is completely normal and expected. Payments resume automatically in August for the new academic year without any action needed from students.
My Nijut Moina payment has not come this month — what should I do?
First update your bank passbook to confirm the payment is genuinely not there. Then speak to your college principal or the Nijut Moina coordinator and ask whether your attendance was submitted for this month and whether DHE has released payment for your college. If the college confirms submission but payment has not come, contact the DHE helpdesk at dhe-asm@nic.in with your name, college name, and the specific month.
How much does Nijut Moina pay per month?
Rs 1,000 per month for Class 11 and Class 12 students. Rs 1,250 per month for undergraduate students. Rs 2,500 per month for postgraduate and BEd students. Payments are made for 10 months per academic year — August through May. June and July are excluded.
Will I receive Nijut Moina payment in April and May 2026?
Yes. April is the 9th installment and May is the 10th and final installment for the 2025-26 academic year. Both months are paid months. After May, there are no payments in June and July. Payments resume from August 2026 for the 2026-27 academic year.
My classmate received the payment but I did not — why?
The most likely reason is your attendance record. Nijut Moina requires 75 percent attendance certified by your institution. If your attendance was below this threshold, your college may not have included your name in this month’s submission. Speak to your college immediately. Other reasons include a wrong bank account number in the system or an Aadhaar seeding issue specific to your account.
Do I need to re-apply for Nijut Moina next academic year?
Continuing students — moving from Class 11 to 12, or from first year to second year — do not need to re-apply. Your college certifies that you are continuing and the payment carries forward. Only freshers joining for the first time in the next academic year need to submit applications through their college. Make sure your college submits the continuation certification at the start of the new academic year in August.
What is the Nijut Moina scheme helpline number?
The Higher Education Department helpdesk email is dhe-asm@nic.in. There is no single published phone helpline number for Nijut Moina. For specific payment queries, contact your institution first — the principal or Nijut Moina coordinator has direct access to DHE submission records. For unresolved issues, email the DHE helpdesk with your full details.
Final Note
Nijut Moina is one of the most directly impactful education schemes in Assam. For a student in Nalbari or Sivasagar whose family genuinely cannot afford college without this money, the Rs 1,000 or Rs 1,250 that comes every month is what keeps her enrolled. When it does not come on time, the anxiety is real and immediate.
In most cases, payment problems get solved quickly— a phone call to the college, a bank branch visit to confirm Aadhaar seeding, or an email to the DHE helpdesk with the right information. The key is knowing exactly what to check and who to contact, rather than just waiting and hoping the money appears.
May 2026 is the last payment of this academic year. If you are a Class 11 or first-year student, your payments will resume in August 2026. If you are graduating or completing PG in 2026, your Nijut Moina payments end with May — the scheme does not extend beyond the final year of the course you applied under.
Nijut Moina is part of a larger group of student support schemes in Assam, including Jibon Prerana and other financial assistance programs.
