Ramadan Relief Package 2025 – Financial Assistance for Families
With the holy month of Ramadan approaching, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shahbaz Sharif, has introduced a special Ramadan Relief Package to support low-income families.
- Under this initiative, eligible families will receive Rs. 5,000 as additional financial relief.
- Furthermore, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has announced a separate Rs. 10,000 Ramadan relief for specific groups.
This additional financial support aims to help families manage their expenses during Ramadan, ensuring that everyone has access to essential food and supplies.
Who is Eligible for the Ramadan Relief Package?
Many people are wondering who qualifies for these relief payments. Here’s what you need to know:
- The Rs. 10,000 relief package announced by CM Maryam Nawaz is not for regular BISP beneficiaries. Instead, it is meant for individuals who were previously declared ineligible for assistance.
- The Rs. 5,000 relief issued by Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif will be given to families already registered under the BISP program.
- This means that if you are already receiving assistance from BISP, you will automatically be eligible for the Rs. 5,000 Ramadan relief package, along with your Rs. 13,500 quarterly installment.
New Short Code 9999 – How Does it Work?
There has been a lot of confusion surrounding the new short code 9999 and how it relates to the relief payments. Let’s clarify:
- You do not need to send your ID card number to 9999 to register for the Ramadan Relief Package.
- Instead, eligible beneficiaries will receive a confirmation message from 9999 informing them about their approval and payment details.
- Once the payment is transferred to your account, you will be notified through an official SMS from 9999 regarding the disbursement of funds under the Prime Minister’s Relief Package.
Additional Information & Next Steps for Beneficiaries
To ensure a smooth disbursement process, all BISP beneficiaries must verify their registration status. If you are already receiving payments under BISP Kafalat, you will automatically qualify for the Rs. 5,000 Ramadan relief package. However, if you have not received payments previously or were marked ineligible, you may still have a chance to qualify for the Rs. 10,000 relief announced by Punjab CM Maryam Nawaz.

- Visit the official BISP website or your nearest BISP center.
