BISP Kafalat Payment Increased to Support Beneficiaries
The Benazir Income Support Program has announced a significant increase in the quarterly stipend of the Kafalat Program, raising it from Rs. 10,500 to Rs. 13,500. This change, effective January 2025, was approved by the IMF to alleviate the burden on low-income families facing the rising cost of living. This increase underscores BISP’s commitment to providing financial relief to deserving families in need.
New Registration Drive for Deserving Women
In addition to increasing the quarterly stipend, BISP has initiated a new registration phase for the Kafalat Program to include more women from low-income households. Women suffering due to poor financial conditions or widowhood are encouraged to apply for this program, which offers quarterly cash assistance. The process is straightforward, ensuring eligible women can easily join and benefit from the program.
Steps to Complete the Registration Process
Eligible women can register for the program by visiting their nearest BISP office. They must provide their CNIC, electricity bill, and, optionally, a child’s B-form. Registration involves identity verification, a detailed survey, and biometric verification. After successful registration, applicants will receive an SMS confirmation from 8171. BISP will then verify the submitted information and notify eligible participants of their inclusion in the program.
Checking Eligibility and Payment Status Online
Women who do not receive confirmation messages can check their status online via the 8171 web portal. By entering their CNIC and a CAPTCHA code, applicants can confirm their eligibility and payment details. This user-friendly system ensures transparency and accessibility for all participants, reducing unnecessary visits to BISP offices.
This initiative, combining increased financial aid and expanded registration, highlights the government’s efforts to empower women and combat poverty across Pakistan.
Benazir Kafalat Program Third Phase
The long-awaited third phase of the Benazir Kafalat Program payments has officially begun, bringing good news for those who did not receive payments in the first two phases. The BISP has started distributing payments in 13 districts, ensuring that these deserving women can now get their much-needed assistance. This move comes as part of a multi-phase approach by BISP to ensure transparency and efficiency in its payment system, with millions of women already benefiting from the first two phases.
Districts Included in the Third Phase
For beneficiaries who missed out on the first two phases, the third phase brings the opportunity to receive payments. The districts included in this phase are Peshawar, Charsadda, Mohmand Agency, Khyber Agency, North Waziristan, Upper Waziristan, Lower Waziristan, Kurram Agency, Orakzai Agency, Nowshera, Hangu, Swabi, and Bajaur. Women from these districts can now visit their designated payment campsites to collect their money.
Why Only Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Districts for Now?
Many may wonder why only the districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are included in this phase, while other provinces are still waiting. The reason is that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has already completed the payments for the first two phases, allowing BISP to proceed with the third phase in this region. As for Punjab, Sindh, and Balochistan, payments from the second phase are still in progress. Once completed, the third phase will begin in these provinces as well.
How and Where to Receive Payments
Beneficiaries in the 13 districts included in the third phase can visit the same payment centers used in previous phases to collect their payments. The campsites for receiving payments have remained unchanged, making it easier for women who collected their payments before to visit the same locations. The payment hours are from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, with no payments made on Saturdays and Sundays. Women in these districts can start receiving their payments immediately.
