FPSC Challan Form: How to Download, Fill & Pay the Application Fee (2026)

The FPSC challan form is the bank deposit slip you use to pay the application fee for any FPSC job. Your application is considered incomplete until the challan fee is paid — even if you have submitted the online form. This guide explains exactly how to download, fill, and pay your FPSC challan form.

What Is the FPSC Challan Form?

A challan form is a bank deposit slip that FPSC generates for each applicant. It contains your application details (name, CNIC, position applied for) and the fee amount. You take this form to a designated bank branch, pay the fee in cash, and the bank stamps it as proof of payment. FPSC then verifies your payment electronically.

How to Download the Challan Form

1. Visit the official FPSC website: www.fpsc.gov.pk
2. Log in to your account using your CNIC number and password
3. Go to "My Applications" or "Application Status"
4. Find the application you submitted and click on "Download Challan" or "Print Challan"
5. A PDF will download — print it on A4 paper

Note: The challan form is only available after you have submitted your online application. You cannot download it before applying.

How to Fill the Challan Form

Most of the challan form is pre-filled by the FPSC system. However, verify the following details are correct before going to the bank:

• Your name: Must match your CNIC exactly
• CNIC number: Verify all 13 digits
• Position applied for: Check that it matches the correct post and consolidated advertisement number
• Fee amount: Confirm the exact amount (typically Rs 200–500 depending on the position)

If any information is incorrect, do NOT pay the challan. Go back to the FPSC website and contact their helpline to correct the details first.

FPSC Fee Amounts (2026)

• CSS Competitive Examination: Rs 200
• BPS-16 positions: Rs 300
• BPS-17 positions: Rs 300–500
• BPS-18 and above: Rs 500

Note: Fee amounts may change. Always verify the exact fee from the consolidated advertisement or your challan form.

Where to Pay

FPSC challan forms can be paid at designated branches of:

• National Bank of Pakistan (NBP): Most commonly used — available in virtually every city and town
• Habib Bank Limited (HBL): Widely available across Pakistan
• Allied Bank Limited (ABL): Available in most cities

The specific designated bank is printed on the challan form itself. Go to any branch of that bank, hand over the challan form with the cash fee amount, and the bank cashier will stamp your receipt copy.

After Payment

• Keep the stamped receipt copy: This is your proof of payment — do not lose it. You may need it if there is any dispute about your payment status.
• Check your application status online: Log into the FPSC website 3–5 working days after payment. Your status should update to "Fee Verified" or "Application Complete."
• If status does not update: Contact FPSC's helpline with your challan receipt number and tracking ID. Sometimes bank data takes longer to sync with FPSC's system.

Common Challan Problems and Solutions

• Bank refuses the challan: Some small branches may not accept FPSC challans. Go to a larger branch in a city centre.
• Paid the wrong amount: If you paid less than required, your application may be rejected. Pay the difference at the same bank and submit both receipts.
• Payment not reflecting online: Wait 5 working days. If still not updated, email FPSC with scanned copies of your challan receipt.
• Missed the payment deadline: Unfortunately, late payments are not accepted. You will need to wait for the next consolidated advertisement.

Timeline Tip

Do not wait until the last day to pay your challan. Banks can be closed on weekends and public holidays, and the FPSC deadline is strict. Pay at least 3–5 days before the closing date to ensure your payment is processed in time.
