The Punjab government has announced to help people with cash who are financially struggling this Ramazan. According to the report, the Punjab government will give 10000 rupees to individuals who don’t have enough money to spend the holy month of Ramazan smoothly.

Chief Minister Punjab has said in a video message that the government will provide 10,000 rupees to every individual this Ramazan who is struggling financially. However, CM Maryam Nawaz said that the government will review the finances of every individual and then select those to provide Rs 10,000 to them.

The Punjab government also announced the way to get registered for the Rs 10,000 scheme in Ramazan.

Dial 1000 to get registered for Rs 10,000 scheme

Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz urged citizens to dial 1000 to get registered for the Rs 10,000 scheme program in Ramazan. According to the CM Punjab, by calling 1000, you can register yourself by providing details, including your CNIC number and your name.

Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz also said that after providing details, you need to wait for 24 hours, as the team will verify whether you are eligible for Rs 10,000 or not during Ramazan.

CM Maryam Nawaz also said in the video message that the process to get registered for the Rs 10,000 scheme in Ramazan is not complex, as everyone knows how to dial a number on phone.

Will the balance be deducted from phone by dialing 1000?

It is pertinent to mention that usually no balance is deducted by dialling government helplines, but it is not yet confirmed in case of dialling 1000 in Ramazan.
