The government of Pakistan established the Ehsaas Rashan Program to provide assistance to economically disadvantaged individuals within the country. Its primary aim is to distribute essential food supplies to impoverished citizens on a monthly basis. The initiative was launched by former Prime Minister Imran Khan, entailing the provision of either a monthly Ehsaas Rashan voucher worth 2000 Pakistani rupees or a deduction of the same amount from the cost of monthly groceries, benefiting the needy and deserving populace.
Eligible recipients of both the Ehsaas Program and the Benazir Income Support Program could avail themselves of a ration subsidy amounting to Rs. 2000 via this program. Similarly, individuals not eligible under the Ehsaas Program were still entitled to a reduction of Rs. 2000 on their monthly ration expenses.
Ehsaas Rashan Program Discontinuation
During the month of Ramadan, the program was temporarily suspended. Qualified beneficiaries of the program received 30 kg of free flour from the Pakistani Government, but this registration has now lapsed.
Revival of Ehsaas Rashan Program
Following the conclusion of Eid festivities, the Pakistani government recently decided to reinstate the Ehsaas program, taking into consideration the rising cost of development. In a government meeting, the continuity of the program was announced for the Punjab region.
Ehsaas Rashan Subsidy Increase
Previously, the program offered a free ration worth 2000 Pakistani rupees. However, due to the considerable inflation, the budget allocation has also risen. The registration process for the Ehsaas Ration Program previously required individuals to submit their National Identity Card Number (CNIC) 8123 to check their eligibility. However, the government has altered this process. Now, individuals can access a 4500 rupee ration subsidy.
Procedure for Availing of Ehsaas Rashan Program
Although the ration was distributed through government-designated utility stores, the procedure for obtaining this ration has changed. The Ehsaas Ration Subsidy 4500 will soon be introduced. Instead of receiving the subsidy directly from a grocery store, individuals will be able to access it through HBL Konnect. It is important to note that it’s not yet confirmed whether this subsidy will be provided through BISP or if eligible beneficiaries will receive rations through BOP WITHDRAWAL with the use of biometrics.

The forthcoming Ehsaas Rashan 4500 Subsidy will launch soon. An online registration portal will be available for individuals to register as soon as it’s announced. This registration will enable individuals to secure a 4500 rupee ration subsidy.
