Nigahban Ramzan Package- 2025 for Low Income & Deserving Families by the Chief Minister Punjab
Every year, during the holy month of Ramzan, Government of Punjab announces and executes a relief package for the low income and deserving families of the province. Traditionally, such relief has been provided through the establishment of Ramzan Bazaars, where specific food items are provided at subsidized rates, while other items provided at notified / controlled rate. Last year, there was a departure from the previous practice and relief was provided in the form of food hampers to the low income households. This year, on the directions of Chief Minister, Government of Punjab is providing Rs. 10,000 cash to 03 million low income & deserving families under the Nigahban Ramzan Package - 2025.
The Punjab Social Protection Authority (PSPA) in coordination with the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) is collecting data for Punjab Social & Economic Registry (PSER) of low income and deserving families within the Punjab. PITB after necessary wealth checks will provide the data of these families to the Bank of Punjab (BOP) for disbursement.
The Bank of Punjab will disburse Rs. 10,000/- through custom-made pay-order (POs) along with Chief Minister’s letter to each selected family at their door step through Pakistan Post. The deserving families can deposit the Pay Order directly into their active bank accounts at any bank and they can also withdraw cash from designated branchless banking agents (Alfa Pay, HBL Konnect, and UBL Omni) of Bank of Punjab after biometric and PIN code verification.
