What to Do When Seva Sindhu Application Is Stuck
If you applied for a service on the Seva Sindhu Portal and the status hasn’t changed for a long time, it can be confusing and annoying. You’re not alone — many people face this issue and don’t know what to do next. This guide gives you clear steps to fix it, stay calm, and get your application moving again.

Why Your Seva Sindhu Application Gets Stuck
Most of the time, the portal shows a status like In Progress or Pending and nothing changes. Here’s what usually causes it:
When an application is stuck, first check what the actual status message says and if any remarks are shown. That tells you what’s happening.
How to Check Your Application Status Correctly

Steps to Take When the Status Doesn’t Change
Some services take time to process. Most government applications take about 7–15 business days, and some can take longer depending on the department. If your application was recent, just wait a few more days and check again.
If the portal needs extra documents or the department asked for more information, your application will stay pending until you submit those. Make sure you didn’t miss a file, or that the file format and size were correct.
Statuses don’t update instantly. Check every few days or once a week to see if it’s moved from “Pending” to “In Progress” or “Completed”. Staying updated helps you take action quickly when it changes.
If your status page doesn’t load, try another browser (like Chrome, Edge, or Firefox) or use a laptop/desktop instead of your phone. Sometimes simple technical issues make the portal slow or unresponsive.
If it’s been a long time with no update and your service processing time should have finished, contact support.
Have your reference number, your name, and the date you applied ready when you reach out.
When You Should Visit in Person
If online tracking still shows no progress after a long time, you have two good options:
Sometimes a quick in‑person check helps because staff can see internal notes you can’t see online.

A stuck Seva Sindhu application can feel frustrating, but most of the time it’s not a dead end. Follow the steps above and be patient. Tracking correctly and waiting a little while can solve most delays.
