The Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has launched a large-scale relief initiative for Ramzan 2026 aimed at supporting poor and deserving families across the province. This program is designed to ease the burden of rising prices and inflation. Many families face difficulties managing their daily expenses during the holy month, and this initiative ensures they can observe Ramzan peacefully, with respect and dignity. The main focus of this program is financial assistance to provide immediate relief to families in need.
Financial Support for Families
Under the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ramzan Package 2026, each selected family will receive Rs. 12,500. This support is intended to cover essential expenses, including food and daily necessities. Over one million families are expected to benefit from this program, with a total allocation of Rs. 13 billion. Compared to last year, the number of beneficiaries has increased, and the financial support has been raised from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 12,500 per family. This increase reflects the government’s awareness of inflation and its commitment to improving assistance for vulnerable households.
Eligibility Criteria
The Social Welfare Department has specified the groups eligible for this package. The following families can apply:
Orphans
Widows
Persons with disabilities
Families living in extreme poverty
The program specifically targets these vulnerable groups to ensure funds reach those in urgent need. Families who are temporarily displaced or currently homeless are not included in this package. The eligibility rules are designed to make sure financial help is directed to those who require it most.
Distribution Process
The provincial government has provided clear instructions to Deputy Commissioners to ensure smooth distribution of funds. The process is as follows:
Members of National and Provincial Assemblies submit lists of deserving individuals from their constituencies, with a limit of 5,000 recommendations per member.
Names are submitted to the district administration and Social Welfare Department.
Proper verification is conducted to confirm eligibility.
After approval, Rs. 12,500 is directly transferred to each beneficiary’s bank account.
Payments will be completed within the first ten days of Ramzan to help families cover early month expenses.
District-Wise Distribution
The number of beneficiaries in each district varies based on population size and level of need. Some examples include:
Peshawar: approximately 108,500 families
Swat: around 67,500 families
Mardan: 60,486 families
Charsadda: over 40,000 families
This distribution ensures fairness and focuses on reaching families according to their need.
Transparency and Public Concerns
Some citizens have expressed concerns about potential political favoritism in beneficiary selection since elected representatives recommend names. However, the government has assured that strict monitoring and verification systems are in place to prevent misuse and ensure only deserving families receive assistance.
Chief Minister’s Statement
The Chief Minister has emphasized that despite limited resources, it is the government’s duty to support needy citizens.
