In short
In Punjabi, "biodata" is ਬਾਇਓਡਾਟਾ — a one-page profile of a person's personal, family and education details. For marriage it is called ਵਿਆਹ ਬਾਇਓਡਾਟਾ (viah biodata). The older Punjabi term is ਰਿਸ਼ਤਾ (rishta), which literally means "relation, alliance" and is not interchangeable with a biodata.

What is a ਵਿਆਹ ਬਾਇਓਡਾਟਾ?
ਬਾਇਓਡਾਟਾ is the Punjabi spelling of the English word "biodata", and it means what the English word means: a short written account of who someone is. In ਪੰਜਾਬੀ-speaking families it almost always refers to the one-page profile exchanged when a marriage is being arranged — ਵਿਆਹ ਬਾਇਓਡਾਟਾ.
The part that causes confusion is ਰਿਸ਼ਤਾ (rishta), which literally means "relation, alliance". People searching for this often find the two words used near each other and assume they are synonyms. They are not, and the difference matters when a family asks you for one of them.

What ਬਾਇਓਡਾਟਾ means in Punjabi
ਬਾਇਓਡਾਟਾ is a direct transliteration, so it carries no separate Punjabi etymology — it is the English "biodata" written in ਪੰਜਾਬੀ script. What it refers to is a single page listing a person's personal details, education, occupation, family and contact information.
Where the marriage sense needs to be explicit, Punjabi speakers say ਵਿਆਹ ਬਾਇਓਡਾਟਾ (viah biodata).
- ਬਾਇਓਡਾਟਾ — biodata
- ਵਿਆਹ ਬਾਇਓਡਾਟਾ — marriage biodata
- ਮੁੰਡੇ ਦਾ ਬਾਇਓਡਾਟਾ ਭੇਜੋ — "send the boy's biodata"
ਰਿਸ਼ਤਾ (rishta) is not the same thing
ਰਿਸ਼ਤਾ is not the document — it is the match. But it is the word Punjabi families use around this process, and a request to "send the rishta details" means send the biodata. Punjabi has no widely used older term for the profile itself, so ਬਾਇਓਡਾਟਾ is the transliteration people both say and write.
| Punjabi term | Romanised | What it refers to |
|---|---|---|
| ਬਾਇਓਡਾਟਾ | biodata | The one-page profile of a person |
| ਵਿਆਹ ਬਾਇਓਡਾਟਾ | viah biodata | That profile, in the marriage sense specifically |
| ਰਿਸ਼ਤਾ | rishta | Literally "relation, alliance" — see above |
Biodata for marriage, or biodata for a job?
For work, Punjabi speakers say resume or CV. ਬਾਇਓਡਾਟਾ in conversation almost always means the marriage profile.
The two documents overlap only in the name. A marriage biodata leads with family, community and often horoscope details and gives work a line or two. A job CV inverts that entirely and carries no family section at all — putting your father's occupation on a job application reads as odd, and leaving your family off a marriage biodata reads as evasive.
Making a Punjabi biodata without fighting the font
The practical problem with typing a biodata in Punjabi is not the words, it is the export. A Word file typed in ਪੰਜਾਬੀ renders correctly on your machine and can fall apart on someone else's if the script's font is missing — which is exactly the moment it matters, since the person opening it is the family deciding on the match.
