Application status: closed for the current phase
Dhee Rani Programme is a collective marriages programme run by the Social Welfare and Bait-ul-Maal Department of Punjab. Brides married through the programme receive financial support from the government, and the wedding ceremony itself is organised as a collective event rather than as a private family function.
New applications are not being accepted for the current phase. Portal status showed registration closed on 28 September 2026, and the 2026-27 phase has moved into verification. Applicants from that phase are being checked now, while ceremonies and disbursements for the phase have not yet been recorded.
| Phase | Position |
|---|---|
| 2024-25 weddings | 3,000 weddings held |
| 2025-26 weddings | 5,000 weddings planned, 4,962 shown on the dashboard in August 2026 |
| 2026-27 applications | 11,781 applications received |
| 2026-27 verification visits | 9,910 visits completed |
| 2026-27 verified cases | 966 verified so far |
| 2026-27 ceremonies and payments | None recorded yet for this phase |
Seasonal timing matters for this programme. Dhee Rani opens in phases rather than staying open all year, so a closed portal today does not mean the programme has ended. A future phase would open its own window on the official portal.
What each Dhee Rani Programme bride receives
Support comes as money loaded on a Bank of Punjab ATM card, plus a government-organised ceremony. Amounts changed once during the programme, so older figures still circulating online no longer apply.
| Support item | Amount and form |
|---|---|
| Salami | Rs200,000 per bride on a Bank of Punjab ATM card |
| Wedding gift | Rs121,000 per bride on a Bank of Punjab ATM card, from 19 April 2025 |
| Earlier gift form | |
