How to Check Your Status
1. Via SMS (Recommended)
- Open your messaging app.
- Type your 13-digit CNIC number (no spaces or dashes).
- Send it to 8558.
- You will receive a message confirming if you are eligible or if your record is “under verification.”
2. Online Portal Check
- Go to the official KP Government portal: egov.kp.gov.pk.
- Look for the Ramzan Relief Package 2026 link.
- Enter your CNIC and click “Check Status.”
How to Collect Your Payment
If you receive a confirmation SMS stating you are eligible, follow these steps:
- Wait for the second SMS: This message will contain instructions on when and where to collect the cash.
- Visit a Payment Point: Go to an authorized JazzCash, Easypaisa agent, or designated bank branches (Bank of Khyber/Bank of Punjab).
- Biometric Verification: You must provide your thumbprint. Without biometric verification, the Rs. 12,500 cannot be released.
- Original CNIC: Always carry your original, valid CNIC.

Important Reminders for 2026
- Federal vs. Provincial: If you are not in KPK, you should check the Federal PM Package (Rs. 13,000) by sending your CNIC to 9999 or the Punjab Nigehban Package (Rs. 10,000) via 8070.
- Zero Fees: Registration and verification are 100% free. Do not give your phone, CNIC, or any “processing fee” to unauthorized individuals.
- BISP Connection: If you are already a BISP Kafaalat beneficiary, your data is likely already in the system, but you should still check 8558 to confirm your specific provincial grant.
