The Pakistani government has announced new updates for the Ehsaas Program for August 2024. These updates include the introduction of a 7500 PKR installment and an online survey for receiving three installments of 12000 PKR each throughout the year. The government has extended the deadline for the dynamic survey, ensuring all citizens have a chance to complete it and benefit from the program. This initiative aims to provide comprehensive support to vulnerable families across the country.

Dynamic Surveys
The dynamic survey is a nationwide initiative, while the PSCRB survey is specifically for Punjab residents. Both surveys are crucial and must be completed by eligible individuals. The dynamic survey is intended for all citizens, while the PSCRB survey focuses on married couples, representing family units. Completing these surveys ensures that families can benefit from various government programs, including the Ehsaas Program. Once registered, all family members are eligible for the benefits provided by the program.
Solar Panel Scheme for Ehsaas Program Beneficiaries
The Punjab government has launched a solar panel scheme as part of its broader efforts to support low-income households and Ehsaas Program beneficiaries. This initiative aims to reduce electricity costs by providing free solar panels to eligible families. Households using up to 200 units of electricity per month will receive the panels for free, while those using between 200 and 500 units can get interest-free loans. This scheme not only helps families financially but also promotes the use of renewable energy, contributing to a more sustainable environment.
Special Stipend
- Government provides a special stipend of 7500 PKR every three months to families with special persons.
- Participation in the survey is required to benefit from all government programs.
- The stipend is transferred directly to beneficiaries’ accounts.
- This update removes the need for camp sites for distribution.
- Ensures consistent financial support for families with special needs.
- Helps manage expenses more effectively.
- Improves the quality of life for these families.
Requalification for Aid
Three categories of women have been prequalified for aid. These include women who did not complete the dynamic survey or were disqualified due to high PMT scores. They can now register and receive assistance. Women who registered a long time ago but did not receive any help will be eligible for aid after verification within four months. Additionally, women whose husbands are government employees with salaries below 600 PKR can now also qualify for the PSCR survey and receive substantial aid. This requalification aims to ensure that more women and their families can benefit from government support.
Government Announcements
The government will soon confirm whether the new installments will be released in phases or as a lump sum at the end of August. Families with children will also benefit from educational incentives alongside financial aid. These announcements highlight the government’s commitment to providing comprehensive support to its citizens, ensuring they have access to both financial and educational resources to improve their living conditions and future prospects.
