Maryam Nawaz Eidi Scheme 2026 – Registration Guide, Eligibility & How Punjab Residents Can Receive Rs. 5,000

The Punjab Government Eidi Program has introduced the Maryam Nawaz Eidi Scheme 2026 to help citizens celebrate Eid with dignity. Every eligible resident can receive Rs. 5,000 Eidi through secure digital cash support systems like Easypaisa Eidi Payment Punjab and JazzCash Eidi Transfer Punjab.

This initiative is different from traditional welfare programs because it focuses on individual eligibility rather than households, ensuring wider coverage.

What Is the Maryam Nawaz Eidi Scheme?

The Maryam Nawaz Financial Assistance Scheme provides Rs. 5,000 per person to cover Eid expenses. Unlike household-based relief, this program allows multiple family members to apply separately if they meet the requirements.

Funds are transferred digitally via the Punjab Government Digital Payment System, making the process faster and more transparent.

Why the Government Introduced the Eidi Assistance Program

• Rising Cost of Living – Eid expenses are harder to manage due to inflation.
• Supporting Youth & Individuals – Every person aged 12+ can apply, not just household heads.
• Promoting Digital Payments – Mobile wallets reduce corruption and speed up transfers.
• Encouraging Financial Inclusion – More citizens will use modern financial systems.
