4. Common Verification Issues

1. “Record Not Found” Message

If the portal shows no active records after searching:

• Re-check your 8-digit Personnel Number for typos.
• Verify if your DDO has formally submitted the bill batch to the AGPR/DAO server.
• Ensure you entered 0001 with four digits instead of a single 1.

2. Can I Check HBA Status by CNIC Only?

Currently, the online query interface specifically requires your 8-digit Personnel Number alongside the numeric Advance Type Code. If you do not know your personnel number, check the top left corner of your monthly PIFRA email payslip.
