The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) is set to launch its new monthly installment of the Benazir Kafalat Program, which promises enhanced financial assistance for eligible households across Pakistan. Starting in January, beneficiaries will receive increased quarterly payments of 13,500 PKR instead of the previous 10,500 PKR. This change comes as part of the government’s initiative to provide more support to deserving families.

The BISP has announced a 27% increase in its quarterly Kafalat installment, which is a significant boost for registered beneficiaries. This increment aims to alleviate the financial struggles faced by eligible women, allowing them to access the new payment amount through their updated bank accounts. Additionally, BISP has formed partnerships with six additional banks to ensure that recipients receive their payments without delays or deductions.
| Payment Details | Previous Amount | New Amount | Increase (%) |

For new registrations, individuals can apply at their local Tehsil office, where they will receive a confirmation statement and further assistance.
