He was addressing a ceremony held in Islamabad on Monday to recognize the individuals, who demonstrated outstanding performance in the success of the Prime Minister's Ramadan Relief Package and the digital delivery of funds to the deserving people.

The Prime Minister said under the scheme, payments were made in a transparent way while upholding the dignity of the deserving people.

He said modern payment methods made money transfer possible while transfer of amount through digital wallets remained very easy and transparent.
