The federal government has launched the 9999 PM Ramzan Relief Package 2026 to support low-income families facing rising inflation and food costs during the holy month. The Ramadan Relief Package Registration process has been designed as a fully digital, CNIC-based system to ensure direct and transparent assistance to deserving households.
Instead of long queues or complex paperwork, families can now confirm their eligibility through a simple SMS process. The initiative aims to provide timely financial support so beneficiaries can observe Ramadan with dignity and peace of mind.
The package includes expected direct cash assistance of around Rs5,000 and essential ration support in selected districts. The system uses verified national databases to prevent duplication and eliminate middlemen.
ECC Approval and Financial Allocation
An Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) meeting of the Cabinet was held under the chairmanship of Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb. The meeting was attended by Federal Minister for Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety Syed Imran Ahmad Shah, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Industries and Production Haroon Akhtar Khan, and senior officials from relevant ministries.
The ECC reviewed a proposal from the Ministry of Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety seeking Rs25 billion for the Prime Minister’s Ramadan Relief Package 2026. The Finance Division informed the committee that Rs19 billion had already been allocated in the current fiscal year.
The committee approved the immediate release of Rs19 billion to start disbursements, while additional funds will be provided as required. The total value of the package stands at Rs39 billion, with Rs10 billion already available with BISP and Rs29 billion to be arranged through supplementary grants and re-appropriated funds.
