Common Reasons for Rejection in 2026

- SIM Ownership: The mobile number used must be registered on your own CNIC.
- Unclear Documents: Blurry photos of the NBP fee receipt or CNIC.
- Quota Errors: Applying for the “Disabled Quota” without a valid Disability Certificate.
- Duplicate Applications: Multiple accounts created with the same CNIC.
Step-by-Step Guide to Reapply in 2026
To reapply, you do not always need a new account. Follow these steps to fix your existing application:
1. Identify the Error
Log in to the PAVE Portal and check your “Application Status” dashboard. The system now provides a specific reason (e.g., “Invalid Document” or “Bank Verification Failed”).
2. Update Your Documents
- CNIC: Ensure it is valid for at least 6 more months.
- Fee Receipt: If you are applying for a new phase, you may need to deposit a fresh processing fee of PKR 1,048 at any National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) branch.7
- Proof of Income: Provide a fresh salary slip or bank statement (last 6 months).
3. Re-submit through the Portal
- Go to “Edit Application” or “Re-Apply” on the dashboard.
- Update the mismatched information.
- Upload high-quality scans (under 2MB) of your documents.
New Features & Quotas in 2026
The 2026 update has introduced broader quotas to ensure more people get selected:
- Women’s Quota: 30% of electric bikes are reserved for female students and workers.

- Youth & Students: Preference for students of recognized universities (requires a valid Student ID).
- Orphan Support: A special category for orphan applicants with zero-interest installments.
Tips for a Successful Reapplication
