On February 16, 2026, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz launched the “Maryam Ko Batayein” Helpline 1000, a specialized initiative to provide Rs 10,000 cash assistance to deserving families during Ramadan. This program aims to bypass long queues by offering a completely digital and swift application process. Eligible citizens can receive the one-time grant within 24 hours of successful verification.

To apply, residents of Punjab can use one of three channels: dialing the 1000 Helpline, using the official “Maryam Ko Batayein” mobile app, or visiting the dedicated web portal. Applicants must provide their CNIC number, which is then cross-referenced with the Punjab Socio-Economic Registry (PSER) and BISP databases. This ensures that only those with a monthly household income below Rs 60,000 and a poverty score below 30–35% receive the aid.

Additionally, the 8070 Nigehban Ramzan Package is running simultaneously, offering free ration bags and the new Nigehban ATM Card for subsidized shopping. Families are encouraged to update their PSER records immediately to ensure they are not filtered out by the automated system during the holy month.
