Understanding Maryam Ko Batayen 1000 Helpline (MKB)

The MKB portal is a central platform of the Punjab government, allowing citizens to directly communicate with the Chief Minister’s office. The focus of this initiative in 2026 is the Ramzan Relief Package, offering Rs. 10,000 cash to those not previously registered in BISP or PSER databases.

The connection between 8070 SMS and the 1000 helpline is crucial:

Step-by-Step Connection

• Step 1: Send your CNIC to 8070 (e.g., “4110012345678”).

• If eligible: You will receive a message confirming registration.

• If not registered: You’ll see a prompt to call 1000 to register your details.

The 1000 helpline is toll-free and part of the Tell Maryam service. A live operator collects your information and updates it into the PSER (Punjab Socio-Economic Registry). Within 24–48 hours, your 8070 check will show successful registration. This process creates a direct bridge between citizens and the CM office.
