• 📝 Registration number of any vehicle in your name, if any
• 📝 Name, CNIC and mobile number of two references who are not blood relatives

📱 Before you start: the mobile number must be registered in your own name – the bank will contact you on it. The form takes at least 15 minutes, and you can save a draft and finish later.

1

Open the portal: go to pmybals.pmyp.gov.pk and click “Apply for Loan”. Read the instructions popup and close it.

2

Enter CNIC, CNIC issue date and select your tier, then click Enter. Your CNIC, issue date and date of birth are verified by NADRA, so type them exactly.

3

Fill the 9-step form. Part A (Initial Selection) asks whether you are a government employee, your citizenship and business status, whether you are a politically exposed person or flood affectee, your CNIC and issue date (twice), and your bank.

4

Complete the remaining steps: personal details, business details, loan amount, references and document uploads. Upload as much as you can – business feasibility, financial statements and the last 6 months’ bank statement help the bank evaluate you. Click Submit & Next after each step.

5

Submit. Your registration number appears on screen and you also get an SMS – keep it safe. You receive SMS updates as the application moves forward.

• ❌ Using a mobile number registered in someone else’s name
• ❌ Wrong CNIC issue date (the form also checks the “confirm” field)
• ❌ An incomplete business plan or no income/expense estimates
• ❌ No recommendation letter for an existing business

🚨 Warning: the application is online only. No bank branch or agent takes the form. If anyone asks you for money to “get the loan approved”, it is a fraud.
