The Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) has stopped payments linked to thousands of students whose B-Forms could not be verified through the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA).
The issue affects students enrolled in PEF partner schools. According to PEF officials, registrations that could not be verified have not been approved and have been classified as fake enrollments until the verification issue is resolved.
Schools Given Time to Complete Verification
PEF has asked its licensed partner schools to have the affected students verified again through NADRA.
Schools have been given August 20, 2026 as the deadline to complete the required verification process.
The direction means schools with students facing verification problems need to address their records within the given timeframe.
| Information | Details |
|---|---|
| Organisation | Punjab Education Foundation |
| Verification Authority | NADRA |
| Required Document | Student B-Form |
| Deadline | August 20, 2026 |
| Affected Institutions | PEF Licensed Partner Schools |
| Payment Status | Withheld until successful verification |
Payments to Resume After Successful Verification
PEF officials said the outstanding payments will only be released once the affected students are successfully verified through NADRA.
This makes the verification process important for both the partner schools and the students whose records remain unresolved.
Schools have therefore been advised to complete the verification before the deadline rather than waiting until the final days.
What Schools and Parents Should Know
The current issue concerns B-Form verification, rather than a general suspension of PEF payments.
Students whose records could not be verified need to go through the required NADRA verification process. The provided information does not specify how many students have been affected or when individual payments will be released after verification.
PEF partner schools should follow the foundation’s instructions and complete the verification process by August 20, 2026.
