ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): The Government of Pakistan, under Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, has officially launched the PM Ramzan Relief Package 2026 to provide financial support to low-income and deserving families during the holy month of Ramazan.
The program provides eligible households with Rs. 13,000, which they can use to pay for essential costs, including food, electricity, and gas, and their daily necessities.
Ramazan is a blessed month, but it brings higher costs for households. The government established a cash assistance program that operates in a direct way and provides transparent support to help deserving families obtain the required support with speed and ease.
The system has been modernized for faster payments and better monitoring. Instead of old subsidy methods, the program uses direct cash transfers, making the process quicker, safer, and more convenient.
