The Benazir Income Support Program is one of Pakistan’s most prominent initiatives and has been in existence since 2008. Beneficiaries across the country have received distributions totaling Rs 117 billion so far. Under the Benazir Kafaalat initiative, women currently receive payments of Rs 10500, which will increase to Rs 12500 next year thanks to the recently approved BISP budget.
Kafalat beneficiaries can withdraw Rs 13500 from ATMs
The program has introduced a new banking system that allows Kafalat beneficiaries to receive payments directly into their bank accounts without any deductions, according to BISP Chairperson Rubina Khalid. Beneficiaries can withdraw Rs 13500 from ATMs after completing biometric fingerprint verification, ensuring a safe and hassle-free process.
Eligible families registered with BISP will receive increased payments directly into their accounts starting January 2025, eliminating the need to go through third parties or pay fees to the POS agents.
BISP 13500 Payments to Start Soon for New Beneficiaries
Rubina Khalid also mentioned that from January 2025, all women participating in the Benazir Kafalat Program will receive an additional payment of Rs 13500 through the new banking system. With the continued registration of new beneficiaries through the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) Survey, families who were previously ineligible now have another opportunity to apply.
