Step-by-Step Process to File a Grievance on NBM Portal 2026

Know What a Grievance Does

A grievance tells the officials that there’s a problem with your application or profile information. It’s an official request for correction or review. This could include things like wrong caste, incorrect land details, missing documents, or eligibility issues. Once you file it, the NBM system generates a Grievance ID that you can use to track progress.

Log In to the NBM Portal

To start, you must log in:

Visit the official NBM portal at gsws‑nbm.ap.gov.in. (gsws-nbm.ap.gov.in)

Click Login.

Choose Citizen Login.

Enter your Aadhaar number.

Verify with the OTP sent to your registered mobile number.

Tip: Make sure your mobile number is linked with your Aadhaar to receive OTP successfully.

Go to the Grievance Section

After logging in:

Look for the “Grievance” or “Support” option in the menu.

Click on it to open the grievance filing page.

Here you’ll see options to select the type of problem or issue you want to report.

This section lets you choose the correct category so your concern goes to the right team.

Choose the Grievance Type Carefully

On the grievance page, you’ll usually find a list of issue types such as:

Incorrect personal information
Document not accepted
Wrong caste or land details
Application not updating
Benefit payment issues

Select the one that best matches your problem. Picking the correct category helps officers review and fix your issue faster.

Describe Your Issue Clearly

Once you select the grievance type:

Write a clear but short explanation of the problem.
Avoid long paragraphs — describe the issue in plain language.
For example:
“My land details are incorrect in the application. It still shows land sold in 2023.”

Tip: Keep a printed or saved copy of what you wrote for your reference.

Attach Supporting Documents

Next, you’ll be asked to upload relevant documents. These help officials verify and fix the issue. Common supporting files include:

Aadhaar card or proof of Aadhaar updates
Income certificate
Caste certificate
Land documents (such as pattadar passbook, mutation records)
Other identity proofs

Make sure the files are clear, in the right format (PDF or JPG), and within the allowed size.

Submit the Grievance

Once your description and attachments are ready:

Click Submit.
You’ll get a Grievance ID on the screen.

Note this ID carefully — it’s your reference to check the status later. You can also take a screenshot or write it down so you don’t lose it.

Track Your Grievance Status

After filing, here’s how to check progress:

Go to the Grievance Status section on the NBM portal.

Enter your Grievance ID (or Aadhaar number if asked).

Click Get Status.

You will see whether your grievance is:

Under review
Action taken
Resolved
Needs more information

This helps you stay updated on whether it’s been accepted or if further action is required.

Follow Up if Needed

If your grievance shows no change after reasonable time (a week or more):

Visit your nearest Gram Sachivalayam office with the Grievance ID and documents.

Ask an official to check the status or help escalate it.

This often speeds up verification and resolution.
