Staying Safe While Applying

Be wary of scammers who promise guaranteed benefits from welfare schemes. Genuine programs never ask for advance payments, and official helplines are announced publicly. Confirm every detail on the official portal, and never share OTPs or CNIC copies with unknown callers.
