BISP Budget Increased to Rs 13,500
During her visit to Skardu, Senator Rubina Khalid shared the good news with BISP beneficiaries. She confirmed that the Prime Minister has approved an increase in the budget for the BISP program. This means that starting from January 2025, registered women under the Benazir Kafalat Program will receive Rs 13,500 in new payments. The increase aims to support more families and help them meet their financial needs in a more efficient manner.
The new payments will be transferred through an updated banking system, ensuring that beneficiaries receive their money quickly and easily. Families who were previously not eligible can also try to reapply, as the program is now expanding its reach through the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) survey.
One Crore Beneficiaries by the End of the Year
The BISP program is actively working to register more beneficiaries. According to Senator Rubina Khalid, the goal is to register one crore (10 million) beneficiaries by the end of this year. The BISP Tehsil offices are open for new registrations, and families who are already receiving aid are being reverified to ensure they remain eligible for the new payments. This expansion will allow the BISP to help more families in need.
How to Register for Rs 13,500 Payment
To receive the new Rs 13,500 payment under the Benazir Kafalat Program, you need to visit your nearest BISP Tehsil office. Start by providing your CNIC and your children’s B-form at the registration desk. After this, you will receive a token for the NSER survey. A data operator will then gather your personal and financial details to complete the survey. Once the process is finished, BISP will send you a confirmation message. If your family qualifies, you will start receiving the monthly Rs 13,500 payment.
