BISP Increases Kafaalat Stipend to Rs14,500

Islamabad — The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has increased the Kafaalat stipend to Rs14,500, aiming to provide greater financial relief to low‑income families across Pakistan.

Officials said the increase is part of the government’s efforts to support vulnerable households facing rising living costs.

Increase in Financial Assistance

Under the updated policy, eligible beneficiaries of the BISP Kafaalat program will now receive Rs14,500 per installment, compared to the previous payment amount.

Authorities said the move aims to strengthen social protection for families who rely on the program for basic needs.

The stipend mainly supports women from low‑income households who are registered with the program.

Support for Vulnerable Families

The Benazir Income Support Programme remains one of Pakistan’s largest social welfare initiatives.

Through the Kafaalat program, millions of families receive financial assistance to help cover expenses such as food, education, and healthcare.

Officials say the increase in payments will help beneficiaries cope with economic challenges and inflation.

Distribution Through Digital System

Authorities distribute BISP payments through biometric verification and digital payment systems to ensure transparency and efficiency.

Beneficiaries can receive funds through designated banks, ATMs, or authorized payment centers.

Continued Government Support

Government officials said the increase reflects ongoing efforts to strengthen social safety nets in Pakistan.

They added that the program will continue expanding its services to reach more deserving families across the country.
