Aghosh Program Payments Cannot Be Withdrawn Via JazzCash in 2026 – What Beneficiaries Should Know
The Aghosh Program, Pakistan’s government initiative supporting low-income families, has confirmed that payments cannot currently be withdrawn through JazzCash in 2026. Beneficiaries relying on digital wallets are advised to use alternative approved channels to access their financial assistance safely.
The National Poverty Alleviation Program (NPAP) manages Aghosh disbursements, ensuring cash support reaches eligible households. While JazzCash was initially included as a convenient option, technical and regulatory issues have temporarily suspended withdrawals via the platform. The government emphasizes that other withdrawal methods remain active, allowing beneficiaries to receive payments without delay.
