The Government of Punjab has officially expanded social welfare assistance through Himmat Card Phase II 2026, bringing renewed financial relief for persons with disabilities across the province. The initiative aims to strengthen economic inclusion by providing regular monetary support and easier access to essential services for differently-abled citizens.
Under this phase, the program focuses on improving transparency, digital payments, and wider beneficiary coverage compared to earlier registrations.
What Is the Himmat Card Program?
The Himmat Card is a welfare initiative introduced by the Punjab Social Protection Authority (PSPA) in collaboration with the Government of Punjab. The program provides financial assistance to individuals certified with disabilities who face employment or mobility challenges.
Phase II introduces improved verification through Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) systems to ensure only eligible applicants receive support.
