Increase In The Assistance Amount

According to the latest details, the amount of the Benazir Kafalat Program is expected to increase by Rs 1,000 from January 2026. Currently, the beneficiaries are being provided with quarterly financial assistance of Rs 13,500, which will increase to Rs 14,500 after the new increase. This increase will be no less than a blessing for poor families in the current conditions of inflation as rising expenses have significantly affected the lives of the common man.

Target To Expand The Number Of Beneficiaries

Not only is the amount of assistance being increased, but plans are also being made to further expand the scope of BISP. According to reports, the number of beneficiaries under the Kafalat program is to be increased to 10 million. The main objective of this initiative is to provide financial assistance to those families who have not yet been able to join the program for some reason.

It should be remembered that at present, the number of women benefiting from the Kafalat program is around 9 million. According to reports, another 400,000 women will be included in the upcoming payments, and the remaining 600,000 women will also be included in the Kafalat program by 2025 to meet the target of 10 million. Here, let me tell you for your guidance that these 600,000 women will be those who have completed their survey registration process and their eligibility status is still being checked.

And if we talk about the Taleemi Wazaif program, let me tell you that in the year 2025, another 1 million children will be made part of the Taleemi Wazaif program. Remember, these will be the children of these women who will be included in the Kafalat program.

Why Is The Budget Increase Necessary?

As has been explained, BISP is currently Pakistan’s largest social safety net, providing direct financial assistance to about 9 million families. But in recent years, rising inflation and economic instability in the country have badly affected the poor class. The financial difficulties of millions of families have increased due to the increase in the prices of everyday items. In this context, the government has decided to increase the budget of BISP and make more beneficiaries a part of this program so that they can be provided with timely and effective financial assistance.

When Will The New Registration Start?

While there is talk of increasing the amount of assistance and the number of beneficiaries, many people are also looking at when the new registration process will start. So, to guide all such poor and deserving families, let me tell you that the BISP registration process continues throughout the year. People belonging to poor and deserving families can easily complete their registration process by visiting their nearest BISP office at any time. It should be remembered that BISP has established registration centers in almost every city across the country for the convenience of the people.

Many people also have this misconception that the registration process can be completed online. So, to guide such people, let me clarify that BISP has not yet provided the facility to complete online registration. It is a complete lie that the registration process can be completed online.
