Detailed information
Who the programme is for
Punjab's official programme pages frame Rahmat Card around Zakat-deserving widows and double-parent orphans. This is narrower than generic 'widow assistance': applicants must satisfy the programme's Zakat, residence and declaration conditions.
How the grant amount is calculated
The Punjab Portal states a Rs100,000 base grant for an eligible widow plus Rs25,000 per eligible orphan child, capped at Rs150,000 per family. The dedicated portal displays the same outcome as Rs100,000 without a child, Rs125,000 with one child and Rs150,000 with two or more children.
Application channels
The Zakat & Ushr Department officially lists three channels: CM Punjab Rahmat Card mobile app, the dedicated web portal, and helpline 1077. The dedicated portal also provides online application tracking.
Verification and selection
Punjab's programme description says identification/verification uses PSER and NADRA data and that payments use biometric-enabled digital channels. Submission therefore does not itself guarantee approval or payment.
No closing date found
The official sources reviewed show registration/application facilities but do not publish a final application closing date. PakRelief should display the deadline as not officially announced rather than guessing.
Privacy and scam safety
Use the official punjab.gov.pk / punjab.gov.pk-linked Rahmat Card portal and helpline 1077. PakRelief should never collect CNIC images, B-Forms, death certificates, passwords or OTPs.
