The Ehsaas Punjab Ration Program emerged as a vital initiative for medium and low-income families. Chairman Imran Khan of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) launched this program in November 2021 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Under this program, eligible households will receive monthly cash assistance of Rs 2,000 after undergoing a survey through online registration on the Ehsaas Ration website (gov. pk). Additionally, 5,566 Utility Stores are participating in the Ehsaas Ration Program.
In various districts of Pakistan, the second phase of the Ehsaas Ration Program, managed by BISP (Benazir Income Support Program), will provide Rs 1,000 to beneficiaries among the 12,000 identified. You can verify your eligibility and check for the funds through Ehsaas Kafalat CNIC online registration.
