The Alternative Income Source Identified rejection is the most common reason for a declined SRD grant. It means the SASSA algorithm detected funds exceeding the R624 threshold entering your bank account during the evaluated month.
If you believe this was a mistake (e.g., someone reversed a transaction or sent you grocery money), you must lodge an appeal within 30 days and provide your bank statements to the ITSAA tribunal.
