The Ramzan Relief Package 2026 is a special financial assistance program launched by the Government of Pakistan to support low-income families during the holy month of Ramadan. Due to rising inflation and increasing household expenses, the government is providing Rs 13,000 cash assistance to eligible citizens so they can manage essential needs such as food, utilities, and daily expenses.
This guide explains how to check eligibility, apply, and withdraw your payment step by step.
