What Is BISP and Why It Matters?
BISP is a government initiative that provides financial support to low-income families, helping them manage essential needs and encourage education for their children through the Taleemi Wazaif program. The 8171 system is used to verify and notify beneficiaries about their payment status. With rising inflation and daily expenses, these quarterly payments are a critical lifeline for many Pakistani households.
Latest Update: April May 2025 Payments Begin in Cluster 11
The Government of Pakistan has started the distribution of the Rs. 13,500 quarterly Kafalat payment for women registered under BISP in eight selected districts. This phase also includes education stipends (Taleemi Wazaif) for their school-going children. This is part of the government’s ongoing effort to reach previously uncovered areas and ensure every eligible household receives timely support.
Eligible Districts in Cluster 11
Payments have now been activated in the following eight districts:
- Kashmore
- Lehri
- Dera Bugti
- Kohlu
- Kark
- Lahore
- Hafizabad
- Khanewal
If you live in one of these areas and are registered with BISP, you are now eligible to collect your payment from the designated campsite.
