💡 Tips to Avoid Rejection

Most rejections happen because of small avoidable mistakes. Follow these tips before you hit submit.

• ✓ Enter your name and CNIC number exactly as they appear on your NADRA record. Even one wrong character causes verification failure.
• ✓ Confirm your land size before applying. Urban land above 5 Marla and rural land above 10 Marla will automatically fail the eligibility check.
• ✓ Check your NSER or PMT score before applying. A score of 60 or above will disqualify your application at the NSER verification stage.
• ✓ Submit only one application per household. Multiple applications from the same family are rejected without review.
• ✓ Make sure your CNIC shows your permanent Punjab address. An address outside Punjab fails the residency check instantly.
• ✓ Scan your land documents clearly. Blurry or incomplete uploads slow down verification and trigger manual review delays.
• ✓ Do not use an agent or third party service to apply. Apply only through the official portal or the 0800-09100 helpline.
