The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has effectively distributed Rs 84 billion to over 8 million beneficiaries in three different phases. The aim of this government-managed initiative is to provide financial assistance to individuals and families in difficulty.
Phase One: Initial Distribution
In the first phase, BISP Kafaalat began distributing financial assistance to millions of registered beneficiaries. The aim was to provide immediate support to families in financial difficulty.
This phase involved registering the families, verifying their details, and disbursing the funds through designated warehouses and banks. One of the key outcomes of this initial phase was the establishment of a reliable system to provide assistance to those who need it most.
Phase Two: Further Support
The second phase focused on expanding the reach of the programme. More families were added to the list of beneficiaries, enabling a larger segment of the population to receive assistance. In this phase, the government introduced measures to promote transparency and accountability in the distribution process.
Beneficiaries were informed about the importance of receiving the full amount without deductions and systems were put in place to report any irregularities.

Phase three: enhanced benefits
In the third phase, BISP expanded the range of benefits available to families. Mothers who enrolled their children received an additional Rs 4,500 for each child to meet their educational needs.
This initiative, called Taleemi Wazaif, encourages studies for children from low-income families. By providing financial support for education costs, BISP aims to break the cycle of poverty and promote long-term growth.
Guidance for BISP beneficiaries
The BISP team has issued specific guidelines for beneficiaries to ensure they receive the full amount of their payments. Recipients are asked to check their funds upon receipt and always request a receipt. These measures are designed to protect against possible fraud or deductions that could harm the objectives of the program.
The government emphasizes the importance of these payments and the need for transparency in the distribution process.

The registration process is designed to be simple and accessible so that all eligible families can easily participate. The government remains committed to expanding the impact of BISP and ensuring that all families in need receive the necessary support.
