How Will PM Ramzan Relief Package Be Paid?
The government has adopted a digital-first payment system. Instead of long queues and manual cash handling, funds are being transferred through verified financial channels.
Here are the main payment options:
1. Bank Transfer (Primary Method)
For most beneficiaries, payment is being transferred directly into personal bank accounts.
Partner banks include:
-
HBL
-
Bank Alfalah
If you have a verified bank account linked with your CNIC, the amount will be credited directly.
Some beneficiaries without personal accounts may collect cash from designated bank branches after biometric verification.
This is the most secure method.
2. Easypaisa Wallet
The government has also allowed payments through Easypaisa for eligible users.
However, there is an important condition.
Your mobile number must:
-
Be registered on your own CNIC
-
Have a fully biometric-verified wallet
If eligible, the Rs. 13,000 will be credited directly to your wallet. You can withdraw cash from authorized Easypaisa agents.
3. JazzCash Wallet
Similarly, JazzCash may also be used for selected beneficiaries.
The conditions are the same:
-
Active wallet linked with CNIC
-
Biometric verification completed
You will receive an SMS notification before funds are transferred.
Not everyone will receive payment through mobile wallets. The method is assigned based on your registration data.
