Providing Incorrect or Fake Documents

Attaching false, expired, or irrelevant documents is another serious mistake. Many workers believe this may speed up their approval, but it often results in permanent disqualification. The essential documents include:

• Applicant’s valid CNIC copy.
  
  
• Proof of EOBI or PESSI registration.
  
  
• Employment certificate from your workplace.
  
  
• Family details for verification purposes.
   Providing correct and updated documents is necessary to avoid issues during the verification process.
  
  

Missing the Application Deadline

Many eligible applicants miss the chance because they submit their forms too late. The last date for submission is 8 September 2025, and late forms will not be accepted under any circumstances. To avoid this, collect your form early from the official offices, download the form from pwwf.punjab.gov.pk or labour.punjab.gov.pk and submit your form a few days before the closing date to avoid delays.

Not Understanding the Eligibility Criteria

Applicants must carefully read the eligibility requirements before applying. The scheme is strictly for industrial workers registered under EOBI or PESSI who do not already own a house or plot under any government housing plan. Widows and disabled workers have special consideration. Applying without meeting the criteria will result in rejection even if all documents are correct.

Ignoring Verification and Follow-Up Process

Many workers believe that the process ends after submission, but this is not true. Verification is a critical step where officials check your documents, employment status, and personal details.

• Keep your phone number active.
  
  
• Regularly check updates on the official websites.
  
  
• Provide additional information promptly when requested.
   Following up ensures that your application does not get rejected unnecessarily.
  
  

Failing to Use Official Channels for Application

Relying on unauthorized agents is a big mistake. Some people take money from applicants, provide fake forms, or make false promises. The government has made the forms free and easily accessible. Always download the form only from official portals, collect free forms from Director Labour Welfare (North) or Deputy Director Labour Welfare (South) and avoid any agents claiming guaranteed approval for a fee.

Conclusion

In this article, we have shared all the details about common mistakes to avoid when applying for the Punjab Free Flats Scheme 2025.
