Ramzan Relief Package

The Ramzan Relief Package 2026 Pakistan is a government support program for low-income families. The government provides cash and subsidized or free food rations so families can manage daily needs in Ramadan without stress.

This package runs at two levels.

• The federal government runs the 9999 Ramzan Relief Scheme.
• The Punjab government offers the Nigehban Ramzan Package under the leadership of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif.

Both programs focus on families who struggle with rising food prices and basic expenses. It is especially for daily wage earners and fixed income households.

What Support Do Families Receive?

Under the Punjab Nigehban Ramzan Package, families receive:

• Cash assistance of up to Rs. 10,000.
• A free ration bag with 10 kg flour, 2 kg sugar, 2 kg ghee, rice, and pulses.

At the federal level, families receive:

• Ramzan Relief Package 5000 payment.
• Essential food items at subsidized rates through Utility Stores.
