9999 PM Ramzan Relief Package has been officially activated by the federal government to support over 12 million families across Pakistan. This program provides a direct cash grant of Rs. 13,000 to help households manage the rising cost of groceries during the holy month.

The 9999 SMS service is the fastest, “from-home” method to check your status without needing an internet connection.

Follow these three simple steps to verify your status instantly:

• Step 1: Open the messaging app on your mobile phone.

Understanding the SMS Response

• “Eligible”: You have been approved. Wait for a second SMS with your payment collection instructions.
• “Record Not Found”: You may need to visit the nearest BISP Tehsil Office to update your “Dynamic Survey” or register via the PSER portal.
• “Ineligible”: Your household data exceeds the current poverty threshold for this specific relief package.

How to Collect Your Rs. 13,000

Once confirmed as eligible, payments can be collected starting the first week of Ramadan:

1. Banks: Visit designated branches of Habib Bank Limited (HBL) or Bank Alfalah.
2. Campsites: Special biometric campsites are being set up in major Tehsils for easier access.
3. Verification: You must bring your original CNIC. A biometric thumbprint is required to release the cash.
