BISP Kafalat Payment Increase to Rs. 14500 Big relief is on the way for millions of Pakistani families! The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has officially increased its Kafalat quarterly payment to Rs. 14,500, starting July 2025. Whether you’re already getting this support or planning to apply, this article has everything you need to know from eligibility to collecting payments and updates to watch out for. Let’s break it down in simple language so everyone can understand.
The BISP Kafalat Program is one of Pakistan’s largest government welfare schemes. It provides financial help every 3 months to low-income families, especially women, so they can afford basic needs like food, healthcare, and education. Started back in 2008, the program has grown to serve millions of families across the country. The government regularly updates it to make sure it’s reaching the right people with the right support.
Latest Update: Quarterly Payment Raised to Rs. 14,500
Starting from July 1, 2025, the quarterly cash support for BISP Kafalat beneficiaries has been raised from Rs. 13,500 to Rs. 14,500. That means an additional Rs. 1,000 every quarter — or Rs. 4,000 extra per year.
Why the Increase?
- Rising cost of groceries, fuel, and household expenses
- To protect poor families from the effects of inflation
- To support more families under the program
The total BISP budget for 2025 is now Rs. 716 billion, and around 700,000 new families are being added, raising the number of beneficiaries to 10 million households!
