If you’re planning to apply for the Punjab T-Cash Student Transport Card, it’s important to get your documents ready first. The Punjab Government has launched this amazing initiative to support students with free or subsidized public transport, but your application will only be successful if you upload the correct and complete documents.
In this guide, we’ll show you exactly which documents you need, how to prepare them, and how to avoid common mistakes that could delay your approval.
Why Documents Matter for the T-Cash Card
The T-Cash Card system is 100% online, so your documents are the only way for the government to confirm your identity and student status. Submitting incomplete or wrong documents can result in rejection or long delays.
Having the correct documents helps the system:
-
Verify that you’re a real student
-
Match your information with your educational institution
-
Ensure only eligible students receive the card
List of Required Documents for T-Cash Card
Here are the documents you must upload when filling the T-Cash Card registration form:
1. Valid Student ID Card
This is the most important document. It should:
-
Show your full name
-
Mention your institute’s name
-
Have a clear photo and valid dates
-
Be from an institute located in Lahore, Rawalpindi, or Multan
2. Recent Passport Size Photograph
You must upload a clear and recent photo (within last 6 months). Make sure:
-

Depending on your age:
-

It’s okay if you don’t have a scanned copy, but make sure the number is typed correctly in the form.

Some students may not have a student ID. In that case, upload a:
-
College or school admission letter
