The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) has officially extended its enrollment period for eligible households until 2027. This extension offers new and existing beneficiaries the opportunity to register for the program or renew their enrollment over the next three years. Qualified families can visit their local Tehsil office with their CNIC card to complete the registration process.
Who Can Benefit?
The BISP Program is one of Pakistan’s most prominent social support initiatives, reaching over ten million low-income households. To make it easier for families to access financial support, the program has set up an accessible registration system through the National Socio-Economic Registry Survey. Enrolling early will help beneficiaries avoid delays in receiving the quarterly “Kafalat Qist” payment of PKR 13,500.

BISP’s chairperson, Rubina Khalid, has announced a forthcoming increase in the program’s quarterly payments. Starting January 2025, beneficiaries will see an increase in the “Benazir Kafalat” payment to PKR 13,500 per quarter. This raise reflects the government’s commitment to providing enhanced support to low-income families.
Transition to Digital Payment System
In a recent announcement, BISP’s Director General, Naveed Akbar, revealed plans to shift the program to a transparent, digital payment system. This new method aims to reduce issues of unauthorized deductions and eliminate the need for beneficiaries to travel frequently for their payments. With biometric verification and authorized ATMs, beneficiaries will have convenient access to their funds without the need for long queues or delays.

Payment Disbursement and Verification Process
The Benazir Income Support Program, under the leadership of President Asif Ali Zardari, will soon adopt an open banking system to deliver the PKR 13,500 payments to eligible women starting in 2025. The transition to biometric verification ensures each beneficiary receives their full payment with ease, safeguarding against issues such as payment deductions.
Conclusion
With enrollment open until 2027, BISP continues to support eligible families in Pakistan, extending its scope to aid more households in need. Beginning in January 2025, beneficiaries can anticipate a quarterly payment increase to PKR 13,500, alongside a streamlined digital payment system to enhance accessibility and transparency. This proactive approach by BISP showcases the government’s dedication to uplifting vulnerable communities across Pakistan.
