The Punjab government has stepped up preparations for Ramadan Nigehban Package 2026, formally requesting an operational budget of Rs. 4 billion to ensure smooth, transparent, and timely delivery of relief to deserving families during the holy month.
Officials say the focus this year is not just on distributing funds, but on improving the entire delivery mechanism so that assistance reaches the right people without delays or misuse.
How the Rs. 4 Billion Budget Will Be Used
According to official sources, the proposed operational budget has been divided into two major components:
-
Rs. 3.5 billion will be allocated to the Bank of Punjab (BOP) for administrative, financial, and operational management
-
Rs. 500 million has been recommended for a public awareness campaign to guide beneficiaries on how and where to receive assistance
The aim is to reduce confusion, prevent misinformation, and ensure maximum participation by eligible families.
Role of Bank of Punjab in Ramadan Nigehban Package
The Bank of Punjab will play a central role in executing the program. Under the proposed plan:
-
Special ATM cards will be issued to eligible beneficiaries
-
Cards will be distributed through tehsil-level camps across Punjab
-
A centralized data system will be used to maintain transparency and accountability
This system is designed to minimize human interference and ensure that relief reaches only verified recipients.
Total Relief Allocation for Ramadan 2026
In addition to the operational budget, the Punjab government has confirmed that Rs. 30 billion will be distributed under the Ramadan Nigehban Package this year.
The relief program targets low-income and deserving families, helping them manage rising expenses during Ramadan through direct financial support.
Focus on Transparency and Timely Relief
Government officials emphasize that modern data management tools and banking channels will be used to prevent duplication, delays, and favoritism. The goal is clear: timely relief, fair distribution, and zero leakages.
Final Takeaway
The request for a Rs. 4 billion operational budget signals that Punjab is taking Ramadan Nigehban Package 2026 seriously. With bank-based distribution, awareness campaigns, and tehsil-level facilitation, the government aims to deliver relief more efficiently than previous years.
📌 More details about eligibility, distribution dates, and card issuance are expected soon.
