PM Shehbaz unveils Rs38b Ramazan Relief Package

Islamabad: Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has unveiled Ramadan Relief Package, 2026 worth 38 billion rupees to provide relief to deserving families in the upcoming month of Ramadan.

Under the package, Rs28bn have been earmarked for 2.1 million deserving families who are not benefiting from any other Kafalat Programme. Each family will be given 13000 rupees.

Ten billion rupees have been allocated for ten million families who are part of the government's Kafalat Programme.

All payments will be made through bank accounts or digital wallets.

The Prime Minister has also constituted a committee comprising members of cabinet to monitor the transparent execution and distribution of this relief amount.

Addressing the launching ceremony, the Prime Minister said 12.1 million deserving families across all four provinces, Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Kashmir will benefit from this package.

He said digital payments have been introduced to ensure that the package is executed in a transparent and dignified manner without hurting the self-esteem of any deserving person.

The Prime Minister said last year, we conducted a third party audit of the payments made to the deserving people and no lapse or corruption was identified therein.
