What you need before you start

  • Your school or college name, address and UIDAS code (the school fills in the code)
  • Your SARAL, PEN or APPAR number and your Aadhaar number
  • Your route: where you start and where you travel to
  • A parent or guardian for the signature. The form says students above Class 11 do not need it.

Conditions

  • The concession is on the student monthly pass, and the MSRTC table lists it for ordinary buses.

Step by step

  1. Step 1: Check that the concession suits your travel

    The concession is 66.67 percent on the student monthly pass. The MSRTC table lists it for ordinary buses only.

  2. Step 2: Get the form

    Ask the depot manager or station in-charge for the student NCMC card application form. MSRTC also lists it on its website as the Student NCMC Card application form.

  3. Step 3: Fill in your details

    Write the student's name, date of birth, class, full home address, the school name and address, the SARAL, PEN or APPAR number, a phone number, the route from and to, and the academic year.

  4. Step 4: Sign the form

    The student signs. A parent or guardian signs or gives a thumb impression. The form says students above Class 11 do not need the parent's signature.

  5. Step 5: Get the school certificate filled in

    The head of the school fills in the school certificate part with the school UIDAS code, the student's SARAL, PEN or APPAR number and Aadhaar number, and signs it with the school stamp.

  6. Step 6: Submit the form at the depot

    Give the form to the depot manager or station in-charge. MSRTC's list of forms shows an application fee of Rs 5 for the school student identity card or pass form, so ask at the counter what you need to pay.

    The depot writes your NCMC card number on the form, and you sign to confirm that you received the card needed for the monthly concession pass.
