The Government of Pakistan has announced an important update for families receiving financial assistance through the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP). According to the latest information, the new installment of Rs 14,500 under the Benazir Kafalat Program has officially started, and eligible beneficiaries have begun receiving payment messages through the 8171 portal.
Officials confirmed that the assistance amount has been increased compared to previous installments. This increase is aimed at helping low-income families cope with rising inflation and daily expenses. Regular beneficiaries who are already registered in the BISP system can now collect their payments from authorized retailer shops or BISP payment centers after verifying their eligibility through the 8171 CNIC check system.
BISP 8171 New Update: Increase in BISP Payment and Children Education Stipend
Under the latest update, the Benazir Kafalat quarterly installment has been increased, and beneficiaries will now receive Rs 14,500 every three months. Along with this increase, the government has also raised the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif (children education stipend).
Previously, some children were receiving around Rs 2,000 as education support, but the stipend has now been increased by Rs 500 per child, meaning eligible children may now receive around Rs 2,500 or more depending on their class level. This step has been taken to support children’s education and reduce financial pressure on families.
