Good news for families who have registered through the Dynamic Survey for the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP)! The program is now expanding and enrolling more beneficiaries. The Benazir Kafaalat Programme will add you and your family to the list of new beneficiaries. This year, the government has increased the budget for BISP, with an objective to register 1 crore people by the end of the year.
Latest Update: By Year-End, 1 Crore People Will Join The BISP Program
At a recent media conference, BISP Chairperson Rubina Khalid shared that the registration process is still active at BISP Tehsil offices. We are recertifying already registered families to ensure they continue receiving payments in their Kafalat accounts.
According to Rubina Khalid, the program aims to register 1 crore beneficiaries this year, thanks to the government’s support and President Asif Ali Zardari’s efforts.
The Benazir Kafaalat Programme Opens 7 Lacs New Applications
For new applicants, an additional 7 Lac registration is now available. Those who register will need to provide their mobile phone number to receive updates and payment notifications from “8171.” During the registration process, families will join the NSER Dynamic Survey, which involves answering questions about their financial situation.
