The Maryam Ko Batayn (1000) web portal and mobile application are the official digital platforms launched by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz to provide direct relief and grievance redressal for the residents of Punjab. For the 2026 Ramadan cycle, this system is being used to distribute Rs. 10,000 cash assistance and monitor the “Nigehban” ration delivery.
If you are experiencing technical issues with the mobile app (such as OTP delays or crashes), the web portal is the recommended alternative for registration.

Most Informative News for 2026 Users
- App Fix: Many users have reported a “Password must be 8 characters” error on the mobile app even when entering a long password. Switching to the web portal bypasses this bug entirely.
- Nigehban Card: Approved families are now receiving a digital Nigehban Card which can be activated at UBL Omni, HBL Konnect, or Bank of Punjab agents to withdraw the Rs. 10,000.
- Dual Check: You can also check your eligibility by sending your CNIC to 8070. If the reply says “Eligible,” you do not need to register again; your data is already in the system.
