Contact Local Navasakam Help Desk or Seva Center
The first thing you should do is contact your local Seva center or the Navasakam Help Desk. Explain your situation to them and ask if they can assist in updating your application to the correct scheme.
Check If You Can Withdraw and Reapply
If the system does not allow for any direct edits after submission, you may be asked to withdraw your original application and submit a new one for the correct scheme.

What Happens If You Submit the Wrong Scheme?
Submitting the wrong scheme application may delay the processing of your benefits or cause your application to be rejected. Here’s how to handle the situation if it’s too late to change your scheme:
Check Status Regularly: Monitor your application status on the Navasakam Portal. If the system detects an issue, such as a mismatch of documents or scheme selection, your application might be flagged for review.
Consult Local Authorities: If your application is rejected due to scheme mismatch, go to your Seva center and provide proof or clarification about why the wrong scheme was selected. In some cases, they may allow you to reapply or make corrections.
Things to Keep in Mind
Act Quickly: If you realize you’ve chosen the wrong scheme, try to make the change as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more complicated it may get.
Provide Supporting Documents: When changing a scheme, you may need to provide supporting documents or justification for why the change is needed.
Be Prepared to Reapply: If it’s not possible to change your scheme directly, be ready to withdraw the application and submit a new one.
