The Aaghosh Program 2025, launched by the Punjab Social Protection Authority (PSPA), supports pregnant women and newborn babies by providing monthly financial assistance. Many beneficiaries face problems when their CNIC or mobile number changes. This article provides a complete step-by-step guide on how to update your CNIC or mobile number in the Aaghosh Program so you can continue receiving your payments smoothly.
Why CNIC or Mobile Number Update is Important?
Keeping your CNIC and mobile number updated in the Aaghosh Program database is very important.

- Bring your original CNIC and SIM ownership proof such as PTA verified slip or SIM record.
- Ask for the Mobile or CNIC Update Form and fill it carefully with your new details.
- Submit the form to PSPA staff for verification.
- After successful verification, your updated details will be active within 7 to 10 working days.
