This mobile number will also be used for all future communication related to your application. Make sure the number is active and accessible before you begin.
Common Yuva Shakti Document Upload Problems (and How to Fix Them)
1. PDF File Size Exceeds 300 KB
Each PDF document must be 300 KB or smaller. Scanned documents from smartphones are often much larger than this limit.
Fix: Use a free online PDF compressor to reduce your file size below 300 KB before uploading.
2. Photo or Signature File Too Large
Your passport photo and signature image must each be 50 KB or smaller. Camera images from smartphones are usually several MB, which will cause the upload to fail.
Fix: Use a free online photo resizer or image compressor to bring your photo and signature under 50 KB before uploading.
3. Wrong File Format for Documents
The portal accepts PDF only for all certificates and identity documents. Uploading a JPG, PNG, or Word file will result in an upload error.
Fix: Scan your documents and save them as PDF. If you only have image files, use a free online JPG-to-PDF converter.
4. Wrong File Format for Photo or Signature
The photograph and signature fields accept JPG or PNG only — not PDF, HEIC, or WEBP.
Fix: Convert your photo or signature to JPG or PNG format before uploading.
5. Invalid or Inactive Mobile Number
If the mobile number entered during registration is switched off or unreachable, you will not receive your OTP or Secret PIN and cannot complete the application.
Fix: Use an active mobile number with network coverage before starting registration.
