The federal and provincial governments have united to offer a massive financial cushion, allowing eligible families to Claim Rs. 10,000 + Rs. 13,500 via combined PM and CM relief schemes this Ramzan. This historic “Double Relief” initiative means a single household can receive a total of Rs. 23,500 by registering for both the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) and the Punjab Nigehban Package.
As confirmed in our latest PM Updates, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has authorized the quarterly BISP installment of approx. Rs. 13,500, while Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has rolled out a separate Rs. 10,000 cash grant for Punjab residents. This guide details exactly how to verify your status in both systems to ensure you do not miss out on a single rupee.
This article breaks down the registration process for both 8171 (Federal) and 8070 (Provincial) codes so you can maximize your Ramzan aid.

Step 2: Claim Rs. 10,000 (CM Maryam Nawaz Scheme)
The second part is exclusively for Punjab residents. To Claim Rs. 10,000 + Rs. 13,500, you must also be registered here:

FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: Can I withdraw both amounts from the same ATM?
No. PM funds (Rs. 13,500) are in HBL/Alfalah, while CM funds (Rs. 10,000) are in the Bank of Punjab (BOP). You must visit separate banks or ATMs.
Q: If I get Rs. 13,500, will my husband get Rs. 10,000?
Typically, the head of the household (often the female for BISP) receives the PM fund. The CM fund is also household-based. It is unlikely for two people in the same house to get separate grants; usually, one person collects the total per family.
Q: What is the last date to claim this money?
The payments are released in batches throughout Ramzan. It is best to withdraw your funds before Eid-ul-Fitr to avoid system timeouts.

This Ramzan, the government has ensured that inflation does not crush the poor. By following the correct steps to Claim Rs. 10,000 + Rs. 13,500, you can secure a respectable financial aid package. Verify your data on 8171 and 8070 today and ensure your family’s happiness.
