Common Reasons for Rejection in 2026

Before you reapply, you must identify why your previous application failed. According to recent data, most rejections happen due to:

  • Expired CNIC: The system is linked with NADRA; if your CNIC expired during the process, you are automatically rejected.3
  • 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.
  • Delivery Rider Priority: Dedicated slots for riders of food and parcel delivery services (e.g., Foodpanda, Bykea).
  • 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

  • Use a PC: Avoid applying on a mobile browser; use Google Chrome or Edge on a desktop for a more stable connection.
  • Check SIM Registration: Dial *661# (on some networks) or send your CNIC to 667 to ensure your SIM is on your name.
  • Clear Photos: Use a document scanner app (like Adobe Scan) instead of just taking a simple photo of your documents.
