Punjab Government Modifies Distribution Method for Nigahban Ramzan Package 2025:
In a significant policy shift, the Government of Punjab has announced a change in the distribution process of Rs. 10,000/- pay orders under the Nigahban Ramzan Package 2025. Initially, the pay orders were to be delivered by Pakistan Post, but in a recent high-level meeting chaired by the Chief Minister of Punjab, it was decided that District Administration will now handle the delivery.
This move comes after concerns were raised regarding the efficiency and timely disbursement of financial aid to deserving families. As per the new instructions, all pay orders currently with Pakistan Post will be handed over to the District General Post Offices (GPOs) and subsequently transferred to Deputy Commissioners for further distribution.
The Punjab Price Control & Commodities Management Department has issued an urgent notification regarding this change. District administrations must ensure prompt distribution to prevent delays in providing financial relief to eligible households during Ramzan 2025. Notification Describes;
