What is the PBF Monthly Grant?

The monthly grant is a recurring financial assistance payment from the Punjab Benevolent Fund, paid to employees or their dependants who face genuine, ongoing hardship. Because it repeats every month, it provides steady relief to families dealing with disability, serious illness, or the loss of the breadwinner, which are situations a one time grant cannot address.

Who is eligible for the monthly grant?

Eligibility generally covers employees and families in confirmed, ongoing need, including:

• Employees suffering total disability or a serious long term illness
• Families of employees who died in service
• Widows and orphaned dependants of deceased members
• Cases of confirmed, genuine long term financial hardship

What documents are required?

Submit the following supporting documents with the application so the hardship can be verified:

• Copy of the applicant's CNIC
• Medical or disability certificate (where applicable)
• Death certificate, in case of a deceased employee
• Service or pension particulars of the employee
• Recommendation from the head of office
• Proof of relationship / dependency

How do I apply for the monthly grant?

Follow these steps to submit the monthly grant application:

1. Download and complete the monthly grant form.
2. Fill in the employee and applicant details accurately.
3. Attach the supporting documents listed above.
4. Obtain the departmental recommendation and stamp.
5. Submit to the Benevolent Fund or district board office.

Where do I submit the application?

Submit the completed application, with all documents, to your concerned Benevolent Fund office or the district board office, usually routed through the parent department. The board reviews the case, verifies the hardship, and sanctions the monthly grant for a defined period.

For how long is the monthly grant paid?

The grant is paid for the period sanctioned by the Benevolent Fund Board based on the case and supporting evidence. It is not permanent by default, renewal often requires a fresh application or periodic review confirming that the hardship continues.

Important tips for a successful application

Because this grant is based on verified hardship, complete and convincing documentation is essential:

• Attach a current, valid medical or disability certificate for health cases.
• For death cases, include the death certificate and dependency proof.
• Obtain a clear recommendation from the head of office.
• Keep copies for renewal when the sanctioned period ends.
