CM Punjab Bewa Sahara Card 2025 — Application Process, Eligibility & Required Documents. The Bewa Sahara Card 2025 is a provincial welfare initiative aimed at providing monthly financial support to widows in Punjab. Official channels route beneficiaries and queries through the Punjab Social Protection Authority (PSPA) and the Punjab Socio-Economic Registry (PSER) for verification and enrollment support. Use the PSPA helpline 1221 for official guidance and status checks.
Note: Public briefings and media posts commonly reference a monthly stipend figure for widows in 2025, but always confirm the current amount and rollout for your district via PSPA/PSER before visiting any center.
