Quarterly Payment Schedule 2025
The Benazir Kafalat Program follows a fixed yearly schedule and sends payments every three months. These are called “installments” or qist in Urdu.
Here’s the payment schedule for 2025:
- 1st Installment: January to March
- 2nd Installment: April to June (Currently being distributed)
- 3rd Installment: July to September
- 4th Installment: October to December
The second installment is now active in selected districts, and the rest will receive it soon.
Who Can Receive the Benazir Kafalat Payment?
This financial aid is only for eligible women who are already registered in the BISP system. To receive this payment, you must meet these conditions:
- You are a female head of the household
- Your PMT (Poverty Score) is 32 or below
- You do not work for the government
- You do not own large property or a vehicle
- Your CNIC must match BISP records
(Expired CNIC is accepted if your data is already in the system)
Only registered women in the BISP database receive the quarterly payments.
What Is the PMT Score?
The PMT (Proxy Means Test) score is how the government decides whether a family qualifies for BISP support. It checks your income level, assets, and overall financial condition.
- Lower score = higher chance of receiving help
- You can check your PMT score online using your CNIC
This score helps the government ensure that only truly deserving families receive financial aid.
