The federal government has officially rolled out the PM 13000 Ramzan Relief 2026 package to support low-income families during the holy month. Under Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s leadership, a massive Rs. 38 billion has been allocated to provide direct cash assistance to 12.1 million households across Pakistan.
This year, the focus is clear. Direct digital payments. No long queues. No middlemen. No ration shortages.
Families will receive Rs. 13,000 per household through a transparent and verified system.
