Persons with disabilities in Punjab can receive a regular quarterly stipend through a dedicated bank card. The Punjab Himmat Card 2026 pays Rs 10,500 every quarter — Rs 42,000 a year — to certified persons with disabilities who are assessed as not fit to work. This guide explains who qualifies, how registration works, and how to check your card status.
What Is the Himmat Card?
The Himmat Card is issued by the Punjab Social Welfare and Bait-ul-Maal Department through the Bank of Punjab. Beneficiaries are registered on the department’s DPMIS system, and payments are made directly to the card every quarter. The programme’s first two phases covered about 65,000 beneficiaries, and Phase 3, launched on 1 October 2025, added 35,000 more.
An older poster showing Rs 7,500 has been superseded — the current quarterly amount is Rs 10,500. Registration is rolling, with no fixed closing date announced.
Disability certificate: The applicant must hold a disability certificate issued by Social Welfare Punjab.
Work assessment: The applicant must be assessed as “not fit to work” by the department.
PMT score: The household’s BISP PMT score must be 45 or below.
DPMIS record: The applicant must be registered on the DPMIS system.

How to Register and Check Status
Step 1: Get your disability assessed and certified through the Social Welfare Department if you do not already hold a certificate.
Step 2: Complete your DPMIS registration through the Social Welfare Department’s office in your district.
Step 3: Check your Himmat Card status on the official verification page at dpmis.punjab.gov.pk/himmatcard-verification using the disabled person’s own CNIC — not a guardian’s CNIC.
Step 4: If your card is approved, collect it from the Bank of Punjab as directed and activate it for quarterly payments.
