The application deadline for the much-discussed “CM Punjab Rehmat Card” scheme has reportedly been revealed, raising urgency among workers hoping to receive financial support and welfare benefits under the Punjab government initiative.

According to details circulating in official documents, labourers and registered workers will be required to complete their applications before the announced closing date to become eligible for the scheme.

The “CM Punjab Rehmat Card” program is being launched by the Government of Punjab in collaboration with the Punjab Labour Department and Bank of Punjab.

Who can apply?

The scheme is aimed at supporting labourers, miners and low-income workers across Punjab through financial assistance and welfare services.

Applicants are required to possess a valid labour card, computerized national identity card, registered mobile number and social security registration.

Officials say workers can submit their applications through the official Rehmat Card portal or designated labour offices.

Last date creates rush among workers

Reports suggest that the deadline announcement has triggered a rush among eligible workers seeking to secure registration before applications close.

Handwritten notes seen on the circulated document indicate that the application process may start from May 14, while card distribution is expected from June 2026.

However, authorities are yet to release a complete public notification confirming all dates and procedures officially.

The welfare initiative is expected to benefit around 1.25 million workers in Punjab and is being viewed as one of the province’s major labour support programs.
