BISP Kafalat Payment Increase
Recently, the Benazir Income Support Program has formally announced an increase of Rs 3,000 in the BISP Kafalat quarterly payment after receiving approval from the IMF. After this increase, from January 2025, the beneficiaries will be provided a quarterly stipend of 13,500 instead of 10,500 rupees. This decision clearly reflects BISP’s commitment to support low-income families amid the rising cost of living.
Along with this, where BISP has announced an increase in the quarterly stipend of the Kafalat program, new registration has also been formally started to include new women in this program. After this initiative of BISP, women belonging to poor and deserving families who are suffering from poverty due to poor financial conditions will be able to join this program and get cash assistance on a quarterly basis. In this article I will provide complete guidance to women who are not yet a part of this program so that they can go through all the steps and complete their registration as soon as possible.
