Ramadan 2026 is bringing much-needed relief for struggling families across Pakistan. The Ramadan Relief Package 2026 combines federal and provincial support, offering up to Rs 23,000 for eligible households in Punjab.
Two separate initiatives are currently active:
-
Rs 13,000 under the Prime Minister’s Ramadan Relief Package (9999 system)
-
Rs 10,000 under the CM Punjab Ramadan Support Program (8070 system)
If a Punjab-based family qualifies for both, the total assistance can reach Rs 23,000.
