Ehsaas Rashan Portal

The  Ehsaas Rashan Program  is an important effort launched by the Pakistani government to provide subsidized food to low-income households. The program assists needy households in managing growing living costs by providing discounts on vital products such as wheat, sugar, and cooking oil. However, despite the good intentions, many users encounter technical and procedural challenges when using the Ehsaas Rashan Portal to check eligibility, register, or apply for subsidies. This article will cover some frequent issues that users encounter when using the site and provide step-by-step methods to remedy them.

 Understanding the Ehsaas Rashan Program 

Before delving into the difficulties and solutions surrounding the Ehsaas Rashan Portal, it is critical to comprehend the overall Ehsaas Rashan Program. This program, launched as part of the government’s Ehsaas plan, aims to provide subsidized food to millions of poor households through registered grocery stores.

The Ehsaas Rashan Portal is a vital component of the program, serving as the primary platform for citizens to check their eligibility, apply for benefits, and obtain subsidies. The portal also allows grocery businesses to register and participate in the initiative.

“The Ehsaas Rashan Portal serves as a bridge between the government’s social welfare scheme and the needy families it aims to support, but technical challenges can sometimes hamper its effectiveness.”

Common Issues Faced on the  Ehsaas Rashan Portal 

Here are some of the most typical issues users have when utilizing the Ehsaas Rashan Portal:

1. CNIC Number Not Recognized.

One of the most commonly reported concerns is that the portal does not recognize the applicant’s CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) number. This can be annoying, especially for people who have just applied for the program or changed their personal information.

Solution: Double-check the CNIC number. Ensure that the 13-digit CNIC number is input accurately, with no spaces or special characters.
Update your information in NADRA: If your CNIC is still not recognized, there could be a problem with your registration in the NADRA database. To ensure that your information is up to date, visit a NADRA office near you.

Wait for Processing Time: If you have recently applied for the Ehsaas Rashan Program, your information may take a few days to be updated in the system. Be patient, and try again after some time.

2. The eligibility check shows ‘Not Eligible’. Despite meeting criteria

Many users say that, despite meeting the income and household size requirements, the portal indicates that they are ineligible for the Ehsaas Rashan Riayat.

Solution: Ensure all family members are registered with NSER. Your eligibility is determined not just by your salary, but also by your registration with the National Socioeconomic Registry (NSER). Ensure that all members of your home are enrolled in the NSER database.
Cross-check Criteria: Review the program’s eligibility criteria on the Ehsaas Rashan Portal to avoid misconceptions. The criteria may vary depending on your income level, household size, and employment status.

Contact Support: If you suspect there is a mistake in the system, please contact the Ehsaas hotline or visit your nearest Ehsaas Center for assistance.

3. Mobile Number Not Linked to CNIC

A common issue during registration is when the portal requests a cellphone number that does not match the one registered with your CNIC. This discrepancy may prohibit users from completing their registration or receiving essential updates.

Solution: Use a Registered cellphone Number: Ensure your cellphone number is registered with the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA).
Update Your Mobile Number in NADRA: If your phone number has changed or is not registered with your CNIC, visit a NADRA office or use the NADRA mobile app to update your information.

4. Issues Accessing the Portal

Users may occasionally be unable to use the Ehsaas Rashan Portal owing to technical difficulties, server outages, or internet connectivity issues.

Solution: Check internet connection for stability and correct functionality. If feasible, access the portal from a different device or network to rule out connectivity concerns.
Use a different browser. Certain browsers may not be compatible with the portal. Try Google Chrome, Firefox, or another modern browser.
Try again later. During peak hours, the portal may encounter high traffic, which might cause delayed loading or unresponsiveness. Try to access the portal during off-peak hours.

5. No confirmation after registration.

After properly submitting your information, some users report not receiving a confirmation message or any other communication regarding the following steps in the process.

Solution: Check your spam/junk folder for confirmation emails or SMS texts. If you haven’t received a response, be sure to check there.
Verify your mobile number and email: Double-check the mobile number and email address you gave during registration to ensure they are correct.
Contact Ehsaas Support. If you haven’t gotten confirmation after a reasonable amount of time, contact Ehsaas Support via their hotline or visit an Ehsaas Center to inquire about the status of your application.

6. Issues With Grocery Store Owners Registering on the Portal.

The Ehsaas Rashan Program helps not only citizens, but also food store owners who can join as subsidized vendors. However, several store owners report problems while attempting to register their businesses on the portal.

Solution: Verify your CNIC and business registration. Check that your CNIC and business registration information match the information provided on the Ehsaas Rashan portal.
Follow the Portal Guidelines: The gateway demands detailed documentation and verification. Ensure that any needed documents, such as business licenses and ownership information, are up to date.
Contact Ehsaas Support for Businesses. If the difficulty persists, you can contact professional business support on the Ehsaas helpline to fix registration concerns.
