How to Claim Your Rs. 10,000
Step 1: Check Eligibility via SMS
The fastest way to verify if you are on the list is through your mobile phone:
- Open your messaging app.
- Type your 13-digit CNIC number (without dashes or spaces).
- Send it to 8070.
- You will receive an automated reply. If it says “Eligible,” you are cleared for the grant. If it says “Please register via PSER,” proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: PSER Online Registration (If not already registered)
If your record is not found, you must register in the Punjab Socio-Economic Registry (PSER):
- Visit the official portal: pser.punjab.gov.pk.
- Create an account using your CNIC and mobile number.
- Complete the household survey by providing accurate details about your family members, income, and utility bills (electricity/gas).
- Once your data is verified by NADRA, your eligibility for the 8070 package will be automatically updated.
Step 3: Receiving the Payment
The Punjab Government is using a more direct disbursement method this year:
- Nigehban Card: Many eligible families are being issued a Bank of Punjab (BOP) ATM card delivered directly to their homes by district administration teams.
- ATM Withdrawal: Once you have the card, you can withdraw the Rs. 10,000 from any ATM across Pakistan.
- Biometric Collection: In some areas, you may receive an SMS directing you to a specific bank branch (like HBL or Bank of Punjab) to collect the cash via biometric (thumb) verification.
Important Updates for 2026
- Doorstep Delivery: For senior citizens and widows, special teams are conducting door-to-door visits with mobile biometric devices to provide relief packages directly at home.
- Scam Alert: Registration and SMS verification are 100% free. No government official will ever ask for a “fee” or your bank PIN. Report fraud to the helpline at 0800-02345.
- Federal Package: If you are outside Punjab, you should check the federal 9999 code, which provides up to Rs. 13,000 for eligible families nationwide.
