Some Important Information From Comments

Comments:
1. This scheme is not available in banks. When I went to bank to inquire about this scheme, they were unaware about this scheme. And also, they didn’t get any information about this scheme from Andra Pradesh Government and from Kapu corporation. So, kindly make the announcement to the banks at the earliest.

2. Can you please tell me, when does registrations will actually progress for the academic year 2017-2018? Universities in Philippines mention that, there is no need of TOEFL (or) IELTS. Please tell me, whether these exams are mandatory (or) exempted.

3. Government said that, it will release the funds in two installments but countries like Germany have a rule to show around 6.5 lakhs in blocked account. Can we get more than 5 lakhs in single installment?
