PBF Marriage Grant PDF Download

What is the PBF Marriage Grant?

The marriage grant is a one time financial assistance payment from the Punjab Benevolent Fund that helps a registered government employee meet the expenses of a son's or daughter's wedding. It is a grant, not a loan, so it is never recovered from salary, and it is payable once per eligible marriage.

Who is eligible for the marriage grant?

The grant is available to serving or retired Punjab government employees who meet the fund's conditions:

• Serving or retired Punjab government employees
• The employee must be a registered member of the Benevolent Fund
• The grant is for the marriage of a son or daughter
• Subject to the rules and monetary limits set by the fund Board

How much is the marriage grant?

The grant amount is fixed by the Punjab Benevolent Fund Board and is reviewed periodically. It is paid per eligible marriage, up to the number of children allowed under the rules. Confirm the current amount with your Benevolent Fund office before applying, as the limit changes with each revision.

What documents are required?

Attach the following documents to support the marriage grant application:

• Copy of the employee's CNIC
• B-Form or CNIC of the child getting married
• Service or pension certificate
• Marriage invitation card or Nikahnama (marriage certificate)
• The completed grant form and covering letter

How do I apply for the marriage grant?

Complete these steps to submit a valid marriage grant application:

1. Download the marriage grant form and covering letter.
2. Fill in the employee and child details carefully.
3. Attach the supporting documents listed above.
4. Obtain the departmental signature and stamp.
5. Submit the application to the Benevolent Fund office before the deadline.

When should I apply?

Applications are usually accepted within a window around the marriage date, often a few months before to a set period after the wedding. Applying close to the event, with the invitation card or Nikahnama attached, is the safest way to stay within the admissible period.

Where do I submit the application?

Submit the completed application, with all documents, to your concerned Benevolent Fund office or through your parent department. The office verifies the membership and the marriage documents, then sanctions the grant for payment.

Important tips to avoid rejection

Marriage-grant applications are most often rejected for avoidable reasons. Keep these in mind:

• Attach the Nikahnama or marriage card as proof of the event.
• Ensure the employee is an active, registered PBF member.
• Apply within the admissible time window for that marriage.
• Do not exceed the allowed number of children for the grant.
• Keep a stamped copy of the submitted application.
