by

The CM Punjab Nigehban Card 2026 is the primary vehicle for delivering the Rs. 10,000 Ramzan Relief to approximately 4.2 million families in Punjab. As of February 27, 2026, the distribution of these digital smart cards has officially started across various districts.

Payment & Benefits Breakdown

For the 2026 cycle, the program has evolved from physical food hampers to a hybrid digital model:

  • Cash Assistance: Rs. 10,000 one-time payment.
  • Ration Discounts: Subsidized rates on flour, sugar, ghee, and pulses at Sahulat Bazaars and Utility Stores using the card.
  • Doorstep Delivery: For the most vulnerable (widows/elderly), the “Nigehban Rashan Bag” is still being delivered directly to homes.

Eligibility Criteria (2026 Updated)

To be included in the beneficiary list, households must meet the following:

  • Income Limit: Monthly household income must be below Rs. 60,000.
  • Poverty Score (PMT): Must be 30 or lower as per the PSER (Punjab Socio-Economic Registry) database.
  • Assets: No vehicle (other than a motorcycle) should be registered in the applicant’s name.
  • Residency: Must be a permanent resident of Punjab with a valid CNIC.
  • Employment: Regular government employees are ineligible.
