As of March 12, 2026, the Government of Pakistan has officially launched the Prime Minister’s Ramzan Relief Package 2026. This program provides a combination of direct cash assistance and subsidized food items to eligible families across the country.
Here is the step-by-step guide to checking your status and receiving the 13,000 PKR benefit.
📲 How to Check Your Eligibility (9999 & Online)
You can verify your status for the 2026 package using these three official methods:
SMS Check (9999): Send your 13-digit CNIC number (without dashes) to 9999. You will receive a reply message confirming whether you are eligible for the Ramzan subsidy or the cash grant.
Official Web Portal: Visit the Prime Minister Ramzan Relief Portal (PMRRP). Enter your CNIC to see your current status and the nearest Utility Store where you can claim your relief.
Helpline: If you encounter issues with the SMS service, you can call the dedicated Ramzan Relief Helpline at 0800-02345.

💰 The 13,000 PKR Cash Grant
The 13,000 PKR figure is the combined quarterly installment for BISP (Benazir Income Support Programme) beneficiaries, which has been expedited to coincide with the start of Ramadan.
Feature | Details |
| Eligibility | Families with a PMT score below 32 (BISP registered). |
| How to Collect | Visit any designated BISP Partner Bank ATM (HBL or Bank Alfalah) or designated BISP distribution centers. |
| Verification | Biometric verification (thumbprint) is mandatory at the point of withdrawal. |
📦 Regional Packages (Punjab & Sindh)
In addition to the Federal package, several provincial initiatives are also active:
Nigehban Ramzan Package (Punjab): If you are in Punjab, you can check your status for the free “Rashan Hamper” (flour, sugar, oil) by sending your CNIC to 8070.
Sindh & Balochistan: These provinces have announced a direct cash transfer of 5,000 PKR to deserving families not covered under BISP, distributed via local district offices.
⚠️ Security Warning
[!WARNING] Only use the official code 9999 or 8070. Do not provide your CNIC or OTP to any unofficial WhatsApp numbers or third-party websites claiming to offer “Ramzan Gifts.” The government never asks for a “processing fee” to release your 13,000 PKR payment.
