The deadline for activating accounts for the 2025 Indonesia Smart Program (PIP) is until the end of this month. Previously, the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen) had extended the account activation deadline from 31st December 2025 to 31st January 2026.

According to the official Kemendikdasmen website, for those of you who are PIP recipients in 2025, the deadline for activating the 2025 PIP account is 28th February 2026. After that, the funds will be transferred to the recipient’s account. If the deadline is missed, the PIP funds will be returned to the state treasury.
