The CM Punjab Khidmat Card 2025 is a digital cash-support program for low-income households in Punjab. Eligible families receive monthly assistance directly to a secure card/wallet they can use at ATMs and partner outlets—with full transparency and no middlemen.

Key Highlights (at a glance)

• Who it’s for: Low-income families in Punjab with valid CNIC and verified poverty score

What is the Khidmat Card?

The Khidmat Card is Punjab’s welfare delivery channel that moves cash transfers into a traceable, digital system. Instead of queues and cash counters, beneficiaries receive funds on a reloadable card linked to their verified profile. The card can be:

• Used at ATMs for cash withdrawal

• Tapped or swiped at partner merchants for essentials

• Monitored digitally to reduce errors and fraud

Eligibility Criteria (2025)

You’re generally on track if you meet the following:

• Residence: Punjab

• Identity: Valid NADRA CNIC (data should be current)

• Income band: Low-income household as per poverty score/NSER data

• No duplication: Not already receiving a duplicate benefit that disqualifies you under current rules

Tip: If your family details (marriage, children, address) changed, update NADRA first; most delays happen due to outdated records.

Required Documents

Have clear scans/photos of:

• CNIC (applicant)

• Family Registration info (if requested)

• Mobile number registered on your CNIC

• Proof of address (utility bill/rent agreement) if asked during verification
