This time, the government is not guessing, not asking people to apply, and not asking anyone to visit offices. Everything is based on real data.
Through the PSER door-to-door survey, the government now has complete data of Punjab families. By 5 February, almost 100% PSER survey is completed. Using this data, the government has carefully selected the poorest of the poor families, especially those with monthly income below Rs 45,000.
In 2026, around 42 lakh families will receive Rs 10,000 cash for Ramzan. This is a big increase compared to 30 lakh families in 2025. The total budget of this Ramzan package is around Rs 47 billion, which shows how serious the government is.

People do not need to go to MNAs, MPAs, or offices. The government itself will deliver the Nigahban Card at the doorstep of eligible families.
The money will be given through a Nigahban ATM Card, prepared by the Bank of Punjab.
Even people who were rejected by BISP, or never received any help before, or women who got 8171 verification messages and our christian community, are also included this time if their PSER data shows poverty.
Along with cash help, the government has also approved:
-
CM Rashan Card
