BISP’s new payment increased by 25%.
The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has announced a BISP New Payment Increase of 25% in the quarterly stipend under the Benazir Kafalat program. This move is intended to provide additional financial assistance to approximately 9 million deserving families. The quarterly stipend has been increased to Rs 9,000 per family, reflecting the government’s commitment to helping vulnerable communities.
Update on BISP Payment:
The beneficiaries will receive the increased amount in the upcoming payment, which is set for August 14. To streamline communication, women beneficiaries of the Benazir Income Support Programme will only receive notifications through the number 8171. Beneficiaries should remain vigilant and report any communication from a different number to the BISP helpline.
Confirmation and payment from the federal minister.
Federal Minister Shazia Marri officially confirmed the 25% stipend increase at Benazir Income’s 58th Board meeting. The approval of this increase ensures account beneficiaries’ well-being, and the additional cash assistance will be transferred directly to their bank accounts. Furthermore, if successful, a payment model pilot will be implemented in four selected districts, allowing beneficiaries across the country to select their preferred banks for account opening. This initiative demonstrates the government’s commitment to strengthening the financial support structure for those in need.

Balochistan receives special attention
Recognizing the challenges that remote areas, particularly Balochistan, face, the Board has approved the use of mobile registration units. These units will provide services in areas where traditional ISP centers are difficult to reach. The government’s commitment to inclusivity is highlighted by its emphasis on Balochistan’s geographical challenges. The NADRA Chairman’s involvement strengthens efforts to provide identity cards in remote Balochistan, ensuring that everyone benefits from the increased stipend.
BISP offers new registration and internship opportunities.
There are currently 575 centers operating across the country as part of the National Socio-Economic Registration (NSER) dynamic registration process. The Board’s approval of an Internship Programme for New Graduates demonstrates a desire to engage young talent. Interested individuals can look into internship opportunities, and aspiring beneficiaries can sign up through the 8171 Web Portal.
