Punjab Rashan Card Registration 2025 Starts Through PSER Door-To-Door Survey

Assalamu Alaikum Friends

Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has officially launched the Punjab Rashan Card Scheme 2025 to help poor and deserving families across Punjab. This new scheme has started with a door-to-door PSER (Punjab Socio-Economic Registry) survey, which will register families directly from their homes. This means people won’t need to visit offices or use the internet to apply – the government team will come to your house.

What is the Punjab Rashan Card Scheme 2025?

The Punjab Rashan Card is a special card that allows low-income families to get monthly food assistance worth Rs. 3,000. Families can use this to buy food from government utility stores at discounted rates or get the amount in cash (depending on the district system). The scheme is for people who are really struggling due to inflation and high grocery prices.
