Federal Finance Minister Miftah Ismail announced the process for the deserving families to avail the subsidies on petrol and diesel under the relief program announced by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, the finance minister said families who are part of the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) will automatically receive Rs2000 under the “Prime Minister Sasta Petrol Sasta Diesel Scheme.”
The households that are not part of the BISP database will have to send their identity cards numbers to 786 to check their eligibility, Ismail added.
However, he clarified that the id card number should belong to a woman as the money would only be transferred to the women head of the household.
