The Government of Pakistan has launched a massive relief package for poor and deserving families during the holy month of Ramadan. This year, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has allocated a budget of Rs. 38 billion to protect over 12 million families from the impact of inflation. Under this package, many households are receiving cash assistance of up to Rs. 13,000 or heavily subsidized grocery items.
The main goal of this program is to support daily wagies and families with very low monthly incomes. You no longer need to visit government offices or stand in long queues; you can check your eligibility right from your mobile phone at home.

The government has made the digital system very user-friendly this year. If you want to find out whether you will receive the 13,000 assistance, you can use the following methods:
- SMS Method (Easiest): Open the message box on your mobile, type your 13-digit CNIC number (without any dashes), and send it to 9999. You will receive a reply shortly with your status.
