Who Can Apply?
Applicants generally need to meet the following requirements:
Before submitting an application, students should carefully review the eligibility conditions and make sure they can provide the required documents. The main requirements are as follows:
1. Bonafide Student Status
The applicant must be a currently enrolled student at an educational institution that is officially registered or recognized by the relevant department, board, authority, or regulatory body of the Government of Punjab. The applicant should have an active student status at the time of application.
2. Public or Private Educational Institution
Students enrolled in either public-sector or private-sector institutions may be eligible. However, the institution must be properly registered or recognized by the relevant authorities in Punjab. Applicants should ensure that their institution meets this requirement before applying.
3. Proof of Current Enrollment
Applicants must provide evidence confirming that they are currently studying at the institution. This can generally be demonstrated through a valid student card issued by the institution or an official letter/certificate confirming that the applicant is enrolled as a student.
4. Minimum Age Requirement
The applicant must be at least 16 years old at the time the application is submitted. Applicants should ensure that they meet the age requirement on the actual date of submission rather than relying on their expected age at a later stage.
5. Valid Driving Authorization
The applicant must have an appropriate and valid driving document according to their age and the applicable laws. This may include a driving license, learner’s driving permit, or juvenile driving permit, where applicable.
6. Valid Identity Document
Applicants must possess a valid identification document. Depending on their age and applicable circumstances, this may be a CNIC, B-Form, or Child Registration Certificate (CRC). The information provided in the application should be consistent with the applicant’s official identification documents.
7. Latest Paid Fee Slip
A recent paid fee slip issued by the educational institution is required as evidence of current enrollment. Applicants should keep their latest fee payment record available and ensure that the document clearly identifies the student and institution.
8. Eligible Guarantor
Applicants are required to provide a guarantor who satisfies the applicable requirements under the relevant banking rules and regulations. The guarantor should have an acceptable financial profile and be able to provide the necessary supporting information when requested.
9. Verifiable and Regular Income
The guarantor must have a regular and verifiable source of income. Applicants should therefore choose a guarantor whose income can be supported through appropriate financial or employment documentation.
10. Recent Bank Statement
The guarantor may be required to submit a recent bank statement as evidence of their financial position. Applicants should make sure that the guarantor can provide the required statement when completing the relevant application or financing process.
11. Registered Mobile Number
The mobile number provided for the guarantor must be registered in the guarantor’s own name against their CNIC. Applicants should verify this before entering the number in the application to avoid issues during verification.
12. Minimum Monthly Income
The guarantor must have a minimum monthly income of PKR 40,000. This income requirement is part of the stated financial eligibility conditions and may need to be supported through appropriate documentation.
Before Applying
Applicants should prepare their student card or enrollment proof, latest paid fee slip, valid identity document, driving authorization, and guarantor’s required financial documents in advance. Carefully check all information before submission and use the latest official requirements, as eligibility conditions or documentation requirements may be updated.
Students should check the latest official notification because eligibility requirements can change between different phases of the program.
