The Punjab Government has officially rolled out the 13000 Ramzan Package 2026 to support low-income families during the holy month. Under the leadership of CM Maryam Nawaz, the Nigehban Rashan Card and 9999 SMS service are now active, making it easier for deserving households to check eligibility and receive assistance.
This year’s relief package is being linked with the BISP database to ensure transparency and quick distribution. The focus is not just on flour, but on a complete ration basket and direct cash support.
What Is the 13000 Ramzan Package 2026?
The 13000 Ramzan Package 2026 is a special relief initiative aimed at reducing the burden of inflation during Ramzan.
Eligible families can receive:
-
Rs. 10,500 under Benazir Kafaalat
-
Rs. 2,500 Ramzan special bonus
-
Total financial support of Rs. 13,000

According to official announcements, verified beneficiaries may receive rashan bags directly at their homes. This step is especially helpful for widows, elderly citizens, and disabled individuals who struggle to stand in long queues.
