What is the Dhee Rani Programme?

Dhee Rani Punjab Government ka Collective Marriages Programme hai jo Social Welfare & Bait-ul-Maal Department, Punjab chalata hai. Is ka maqsad un ghareeb walidain ki madad hai jo apni beti ki shadi ka kharcha nahi utha sakte, taake woh yeh farz izzat aur waqar ke sath ada kar sakein. Punjab Portal ke mutabiq 2024-25 mein 3,000 larkiyon ki collective weddings huin, aur 2025-26 mein 5,000 shadiyon ka program hai.

Taqreeb district ya tehsil ki satah par government arrange karti hai. Registration rounds (phases) mein khulti hai, aur applications zyada hon to intekhab electronic balloting se hota hai. Select hone walon ki verification ke liye khaas teams ghar par bhi tasdeeq karti hain.

Who is eligible?

Official eligibility criteria yeh hain:

• Dulhan yateem (orphan), destitute, khud person with disability (PWD), ya kisi PWD ki beti ho.
• Umer 18 se 40 saal ke darmiyan ho.
• Dulhan ka Punjab domicile ho aur woh ghair shadi-shuda ho.
• Dulhan ka rishta tay (confirmed) ho — form mein dulha ki tafseel bhi di jati hai.
• Application dulhan khud, ya uske walid, walida ya guardian jama kar sakte hain — sirf dulhan walon ki taraf se registration hoti hai, dulha register nahi kar sakta.
• Har mazhab ki dulhan apply kar sakti hai.
• Aik affidavit (halaf nama) dena hota hai ke dulhan ghair shadi-shuda hai aur collective wedding ceremony mein shirkat ke liye razamand hai.
• Applications slots se zyada hon to intekhab electronic balloting se hoga.

Nikah ke baray mein ahm note: agar aapka Nikah pehle se ho chuka hai to rules wazeh nahi hain — aik jagah Nikah ki muddat ki shart milti hai, jabke FAQ apply na karne ka kehta hai. Aisi soorat mein registration se pehle helpline 1312 par zaroor confirm karein.

Eligibility ki har shart ko aik aik karke parakhein

Apply karne se pehle apni position ko official sharait se aik aik karke milana sab se aqalmand qadam hai. Pehli shart umer ki hai: dulhan ki umer 18 se 40 saal ke darmiyan ho. Doosri: woh ghair shadi-shuda ho aur uska Punjab domicile ho. Teesri aur sab se bunyadi: woh in mein se kisi aik soorat mein ho — yateem (orphan) ho, destitute ho, khud person with disability (PWD) ho, ya kisi disabled walid ki beti ho. Chahti baat: dulhan ka rishta tay (confirmed) ho, kyunke form mein dulha ki tafseel bhi di jati hai.

Chand usool aksar ghalat samjhe jate hain. Registration sirf dulhan walon ki taraf se hoti hai — dulhan khud, ya uske walid, walida ya guardian apply kar sakte hain; dulha register nahi kar sakta. Har mazhab ki dulhan apply kar sakti hai, is mein koi pabandi nahi. Aik affidavit (halaf nama) dena hota hai ke dulhan ghair shadi-shuda hai aur collective wedding ceremony mein shirkat ke liye razamand hai — yeh kagaz pehle se zehen mein rakhein. Jis khandan ki dulhan in tamam sharait par poori utarti ho, usi ko round khulte hi pehle din apply karna chahiye.

How to apply, step by step

Sab se pehle yeh note karein: 28 September 2026 ko official portal par registration band (closed) thi. Registration har round mein mehdood muddat ke liye khulti hai, is liye portal cmp.punjab.gov.pk waqtan fawaqtan check karte rahein aur jhootay “registration open” walay ghair-sarkari pages se hoshiyar rahein. Jab registration khule, process yeh hota hai:

Portal par register karein — cmp.punjab.gov.pk par apna account banayein; CNIC aur password registration ke waqt rakha jata hai.
Login karke form bharein — apne CNIC aur password se login karein, dulhan aur dulha ki mukammal tafseel darj karein aur form submit karein.
Confirmation SMS ka intezar karein — registration par diye gaye number par confirmation SMS aata hai.
Ghar par verification — department ki khaas teams ghar par aa kar maloomat ki tasdeeq karti hain.
Balloting (agar zaroorat ho) — applications slots se zyada hon to electronic balloting se intekhab hota hai.
Taqreeb ke din shirkat — select honay par apne zila / tehsil ki collective wedding ceremony mein shirkat karein; ATM card, salami aur tohfa taqreeb mein hi diye jate hain.

Online ke ilawa application district Social Welfare office mein bhi di ja sakti hai. Kisi bhi mushkil ki soorat mein helpline 1312 par call karein.

Selection ka safar: registration se taqreeb tak

Registration jama karna is program ka pehla qadam hai, aakhri nahi. Form submit hone par diye gaye number par confirmation SMS aata hai; uske baad department ki khaas teams select honay walon ke gharon par ja kar maloomat ki tasdeeq karti hain — is liye form mein di gayi tafseel, khaas tor par dulhan ki eligibility wali sharait (yateem, destitute, khud PWD ya PWD ki beti hona) bilkul durust honi chahiye, kyunke ghar par verification mein hi asal faisla pakka hota hai.

Agar applications slots se zyada hon — aur program ke scale ko dekhein to aksar hoti hain: 2024-25 mein 3,000 shadiyan huin aur 2025-26 mein 5,000 shadiyon ka program hai — to intekhab electronic balloting se hota hai. Balloting ka matlab hai ke sifarish ya agent ka koi kirdar nahi; jiska naam draw mein nikla, wahi select hota hai, aur select na honay walay agle round mein dobara apply kar sakte hain.

What the bride receives

Official portal ki taaza maloomat ke mutabiq har dulhan ko milta hai:

• Rs 200,000 salami Chief Minister ki taraf se — Bank of Punjab ATM card par.
• Rs 121,000 ka wedding gift — wohi ATM card par. (19 April 2025 se pehle shadi karne walon ko is cash gift ki jagah Rs 206,000 ke ghar ke samaan ka package mila tha.)
• Free taqreeb — venue aur ceremony government arrange karti hai, aur har joray ke taqreeban 20 mehmanon ke liye khana bhi shamil hai.

Ikhtilaf ki wazahat: portal ke kuch purane FAQ pages par salami Rs 100,000 likhi hai — yeh purani raqam hai. Portal ki taaza home page, department ke advertisement aur Punjab Portal ke mutabiq current salami Rs 200,000 hai. Taqreeb mein card milne par apna balance zaroor check karein, aur farq ho to 1312 par rabta karein.

Taqreeb ke din kya hota hai

Select honay ke baad taqreeb district ya tehsil ki satah par government arrange karti hai — venue aur ceremony ka kharcha khandan par nahi parta, aur har joray ke taqreeban 20 mehmanon ke liye khana bhi shamil hota hai. Isi din dulhan ko Bank of Punjab ATM card milta hai jiss par Rs 200,000 salami aur Rs 121,000 ka wedding gift hota hai — dono mila kar kul Rs 321,000. Card haath mein aate hi balance check kar lena sab se aqalmand qadam hai, taake koi farq ho to usi din ki tafseel ke saath baat ho sake.

What to do if something goes wrong

Registration band hai: ghabrayein nahi — registration rounds mein khulti aur band hoti hai. Kisi agent ko “seat pakki karwane” ke paisay hargiz na dein; sirf official portal cmp.punjab.gov.pk par bharosa karein aur agle round ka intezar karein.

Form ya login mein masla: helpline 1312 par call karein, ya apne district ke Social Welfare & Bait-ul-Maal office jayein — wahan se bhi application aur rehnumai milti hai.

Select na hon: agar applications zyada hon to intekhab electronic balloting se hota hai — is mein koi sifarish nahi chalti. Agle round mein dobara apply kiya ja sakta hai.

Card ka balance kam nikle: taqreeb mein mile ATM card ka balance foran check karein. Purani FAQ mein Rs 100,000 likha hai jabke current salami Rs 200,000 hai — farq ki soorat mein card aur taqreeb ki tafseel ke sath 1312 par complaint karein.

Round band hai to ab kya karein: tayyari abhi se

September 2026 ke aakhir mein portal par registration band thi, aur yeh program rounds mein khulta hai — is liye band portal dekh kar ghabrana ya kisi agent ke paas jana dono ghalat hain. Sahi tareeqa yeh hai ke is waqt ko tayyari mein istemal karein: dulhan ka Punjab domicile tayyar rakhein, ghair shadi-shuda honay ke affidavit ka tasawwur wazeh rakhein, aur dulhan aur dulha ki woh tafseel pehle se ikatthi kar lein jo form mein darj karni hoti hai. Nikah pehle se ho chuka ho to rules wazeh nahi hain — registration se pehle helpline 1312 par confirm karna hi aqalmandi hai.

Isi doran khandan ki aam mali sahulat ka bhi jaiza le lein. Jin gharano ko rozmarra ki imdad darkar hai, woh BISP 8171 par apna status check kar sakte hain — woh federal programme hai aur Dhee Rani se alag hai, lekin mustahiq khandan aksar dono ke liye assess ho jate hain. Aur agar dulhan khud disabled hai ya uske walid disabled hain — jo is program ki eligibility ki bunyadi sooraton mein se aik hai — to khandan ko Himmat Card ki quarterly sahulat ka bhi jaiza lena chahiye, kyunke woh is shadi wali sahulat se alag aur jari rehne wali madad hai.
