How to Apply for PM & CM Ramzan Relief Package 2026 – Rs 10,000 + Rs 13,000 Payment Guide

As Ramzan 2026 approaches, the Government of Pakistan has launched special financial relief packages to support low-income families during the holy month. Under this initiative, eligible households may receive:

• Rs 13,000 from the Prime Minister’s Ramzan Relief Package (federal)

• Rs 10,000 cash support under Chief Minister (CM) relief programs such as the Nigehban Package (Punjab)

These measures aim to reduce inflation pressure and help families with essential expenses.

Both packages are intended for low-income citizens with valid CNICs. Eligibility generally includes:

• Low-income households and daily wage earners

• Widows and persons with disabilities

• Not a high-income taxpayer or regular government employee

Note: Final eligibility is determined digitally based on official records and poverty score assessments.
