An Urgent Update: Claim Rs. 10,000 + Rs. 13,500 Cash for Ramzan 2026 has been issued for all low-income families in Pakistan. To combat the rising cost of living during the holy month, the federal and provincial governments have synchronized their relief efforts. This means eligible households can now secure a combined financial aid package of approximately Rs. 23,500 by verifying their status in two separate government databases immediately.
As reported in our latest PM Updates, this double relief consists of the Federal BISP quarterly payment (Rs. 13,500) and the Punjab-exclusive Nigehban grant (Rs. 10,000).
