Manipur issues income certificates through the eDistrict Manipur portal at eservicesmanipur.gov.in - managed by the Department of Information Technology, Manipur. Login is through the ePramaan national authentication system. Three facts confirmed directly from the official portal FAQ page: First, the income certificate is completely free - no fee. Second, it is valid for the current financial year from the date of issuance - not 1 year from the date as in most states. Third, if your application is rejected, you must start a completely new application - no further action can be taken on a rejected one. The certificate is issued by the Deputy Collector/ADC/SDO (not below the rank of SDO/SDM) of your district. Income proof can come from a Gram Pradhan, Municipality Councillor, or salary certificate depending on your employment type. CSC locations are listed at eservicesmanipur.gov.in/csclist.

Financial Year Validity - What It Means
Manipur's income certificate validity is unique - confirmed directly from the official FAQ at eservicesmanipur.gov.in: "Income certificate is valid for current financial year only from the date of issuance."
- If the certificate is issued on 15 June 2025, it is valid until 31 March 2026 (end of financial year 2025-26)
- If issued on 20 February 2026, it is valid only until 31 March 2026 - just about 5-6 weeks
- For scholarship applications with a deadline in March-April: apply for the income certificate in April (start of new financial year) to get the maximum validity period
- Unlike most states that give 12 months from date of issue, Manipur's validity is tied to the financial year end date
- Apply early in the financial year (April-June) to get the longest coverage within a single financial year
Rejected Application Policy
This is confirmed directly from the eservicesmanipur.gov.in FAQ: "You will have to apply again after completing the documents/procedure because once the application is rejected by the concerned authority; no further action can be taken."
Practical implication: Before submitting, ensure all documents are complete and correctly uploaded. Check the document requirements carefully. A rejected application cannot be revised or appealed - you must start afresh and pay nothing since the service is free, but you lose processing time.
