Punjab government has officially launched the Maryam Ko Batain web portal at mkb.punjab.gov.pk, allowing deserving families to apply for up to Rs 10,000 Ramzan Rashan Grant online. Announced under Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, this digital relief system offers free registration through the website, helpline 1000, and mobile app.
Eligible Punjab residents can submit their CNIC details without visiting any office. After verification, approved applicants will receive direct digital payments along with SMS alerts. The initiative aims to reduce Ramzan financial pressure, ensure transparency, eliminate middlemen, and provide quick, dignified cash support to low-income households across the province.
What Is Maryam Ko Batain Program?
“Maryam Ko Batain” (Tell Maryam) is a complaint and relief facilitation platform turned Ramzan support initiative. Instead of distributing physical ration bags, the government has shifted towards direct cash assistance.
Why does this matter?
Because cash gives dignity.
Because families decide what they need most.
Because no one wants to stand in long lines during Roza.

This option is especially helpful for elderly citizens and rural families.
How Fast Will You Get Rs 10,000?
Payment speed depends on verification status.

- If additional verification is required → it may take a few days
Once approved, funds are transferred digitally. No cash distribution camps.
Real-Life Impact: Why This Matters
For a daily wage worker, Rs 10,000 means:
- Full month ration covered
- Gas or electricity bill paid
- Children’s basic needs managed
- No borrowing from neighbors
Ramzan should be about peace, not financial stress. This initiative aims to reduce that pressure.
Why This Digital Shift Is Different
Earlier schemes often faced:
- Long queues
- Delayed payments
- Lack of transparency
This time, the Punjab government is focusing on:
- Direct cash transfer
- Digital monitoring
- Live status tracking
- SMS payment alerts
It’s fast.
It’s paperless.
It’s monitored.
Final Words

Sometimes, timely support makes all the difference between stress and sukoon. Ramzan is about blessings and this time, help is just a click or a call away.
