Ramzan Nigehban Card 2026 – How to Receive Rs. 10,000 Financial Aid in Punjab

The Government of Punjab, under the initiative of Maryam Nawaz Sharif, has announced the distribution of financial assistance through the Ramzan Nigehban Card. Each eligible family is set to receive Rs. 10,000 to help during the holy month of Ramadan. However, many residents have reported that they have not yet received their Nigehban Cards or any related notifications.

If you are eligible for this aid, this guide will walk you through two easy ways to register and receive your Rs. 10,000 financial support quickly.

Background: Ramzan Nigehban Card in Punjab

Last year, the Ramzan Nigehban Card program allowed residents who had missed the initial survey to complete their application through the PSER portal. Once verified, eligible families received their financial aid.

This year, however, the Punjab government announced that PSER teams had already completed house-to-house surveys. As a result, the PSER online portal was not opened for new registrations.

Despite this, several individuals reported that their surveys were not completed because they were not at home during the initial visit. Consequently, these families were not able to access the Rs. 10,000 financial assistance.

To address this issue, the government has introduced a new mechanism to ensure all eligible families receive their aid.

How to Claim Your Rs. 10,000 Financial Aid

There are two methods for receiving the Ramzan Nigehban Card assistance: via Helpline Call or via the “Maryam Ko Batayein” mobile application.

Method 1: Using the Helpline

The first and simplest way to receive your financial aid is by calling the dedicated helpline.

Steps to follow:

1. Dial the helpline number: 1000.
2. Provide your National Identity Card (NIC) number.
3. The helpline team will verify your details within 24 hours.
4. Once verified, your Rs. 10,000 digital aid will be credited.

Important Notes:

• If you are already registered on the PSER portal, the amount will be transferred to you within 24 hours of verification.
• If you are not registered, your complaint will first be logged. You will then be registered on the PSER portal, after which the financial aid will be processed.
• Keep your NIC card ready, as it is required for verification.

Common Issue: Some users have reported difficulty reaching the helpline. While many have successfully received their aid, those facing connection issues can use the mobile application as an alternative.

Method 2: Using the “Maryam Ko Batayein” Mobile App

For those unable to contact the helpline, the Punjab government has launched the Maryam Ko Batayein mobile application, which allows users to register their complaint and receive aid digitally.

Steps to Install and Use the App:

1. Open the Google Play Store on your mobile device.
2. Search for “Maryam Ko Batayein” and install the app.
3. Open the app and click on Sign Up to create an account.
4. Enter the following information:
   • Full Name as per your NIC
   • NIC Number
   • Email Address
   • Mobile Number
   • Strong Password (re-enter to confirm)
5. Verify your account using the OTP sent to your mobile number.
6. Once verified, navigate to the Financial Aid section.

Filling Out Your Application:

1. Complete your personal information.
2. Provide your district, tehsil, and enable mobile location services to auto-fill your address.
3. List your bank accounts or digital wallets (JazzCash, EasyPaisa, or U-Paisa) for receiving funds.
4. Describe your issue:
   • Example: “My PSER survey was completed, but I have not received my Nigehban Card yet.”
   • Or: “My survey was not completed. I am eligible and request Rs. 10,000 financial aid.”
5. Upload photos of the front and back of your NIC for verification.
6. Submit the application.

Once your application is submitted:

• If you were registered on the PSER portal, your aid will be credited within 24 hours.
• If not registered, the government will first register you in the PSER system and then transfer the aid.

Key Features of the Program

• Transparent and accountable: All applications and financial transfers are tracked digitally.
• Immediate assistance: Verified applicants receive their Rs. 10,000 within 24 hours.
• Accessible support: Two options are available — a helpline and a mobile app — to accommodate everyone.
• Eligibility-based: Only families meeting the criteria receive financial aid.

Tips for a Smooth Registration

1. Keep your NIC ready for verification.
2. Double-check your mobile number and email before submission.
3. Use a reliable internet connection while using the mobile app.
4. Follow up if the verification process exceeds 24 hours.
5. Ensure your account for digital transfer (JazzCash, EasyPaisa, U-Paisa) is active.

Conclusion

The Ramzan Nigehban Card 2026 initiative by the Punjab Government and Maryam Nawaz Sharif aims to provide Rs. 10,000 in financial support to eligible families.

Whether your survey was missed or you faced issues during the initial registration, these steps provide a clear path to accessing your assistance. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully and submit your information accurately to receive your Rs. 10,000 financial aid within 24 hours.
