The Punjab Nigehban Ramzan Package 2026 has once again been announced this year as a major relief initiative for millions of low-income and poor families across Punjab. Launched by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, this program is running with a massive budget of Rs 47 billion and aims to benefit approximately 4.2 million families (around 1 crore people in total).
Under this package, every eligible family receives Rs 10,000 in cash assistance, delivered through the Nigehban Card. In addition, it includes free ration items (flour, rice, pulses, ghee, etc.), Maryam ke Mehman iftar centers, Sasta Bazaars, and an enhanced Maryam Nawaz Rashan Card. The best part is that Nigehban Cards are being delivered door-to-door, so people don’t have to stand in long queues.
Who Is Eligible?
Eligibility is primarily determined based on data from the Punjab Socio-Economic Registry (PSER). The basic requirements include:
- Being a permanent resident of Punjab
- Holding a valid 13-digit CNIC
- Household monthly income usually below Rs 45,000–60,000
- Low PMT (Poverty Means Test) score in the PSER survey
- Priority given to: widows, orphans, disabled persons, daily wage earners
If you already hold a Maryam Nawaz Rashan Card, you may receive priority. To prevent double benefits, the government cross-checks data (to avoid overlap with schemes like BISP/Ehsaas).
How to Check Eligibility and Status?
The easiest and fastest method is via SMS:
- Send your 13-digit CNIC (without dashes) to 8070.
- You will receive a reply within seconds — it will tell you whether you are eligible or not, and what the next steps are.
For an online check, visit the official portal pser.punjab.gov.pk, enter your CNIC and registered mobile number, and verify with the OTP.
The free helpline 0800-02345 is also available for support.
How to Avoid Scams?
- Ignore any unknown calls or WhatsApp messages asking for your CNIC, OTP, or payment.
- There are no fees for registration or withdrawal.
- Trust only the official portal and numbers.
