Punjab Launches T-Cash Card
Punjab Launches T-Cash Card. Good news for students across Punjab! The government, led by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, has introduced the Punjab Students T-Cash Card 2025, a new initiative to help students travel safely and affordably to their schools and colleges. If you’re a student or a parent wondering how this card can help you or your child, keep reading. We’ll walk you through what this card is, who can get it, and how easy it is to apply online starting August 1, 2025.
Why Was the T-Cash Card Created?
Everyone is aware of the cost of everyday travel for families in rural areas and families with financial difficulties. Lots of students miss school and/or drop out just because it is too costly or difficult to get to campus. The T-Cash Card will help break down those barriers, so students can travel for free or at a discount on buses, trains, and metro services. With this, students won’t be distracted or stressed out about their transport costs or safety; they can concentrate on their studies. The program also highlights its special prioritization for girls and for students living on low incomes because every student should have access to learning opportunities.
Who Can Get the T-Cash Card?
If you’re wondering whether you or your child is eligible, here’s the simple checklist:
- Currently enrolled in Grade 6 or higher (this includes colleges and universities)
- Attending a government or recognized private school, college, madrassa, or technical institute in Punjab

- Possess a valid CNIC or B-Form issued by NADRA
- Listed in your school or college’s academic records
Girls, students from rural areas, and families with low incomes will get extra help, so don’t hesitate to apply if you fit these categories.
