The BISP program is one of the largest initiatives in Pakistan, providing financial and emotional assistance to over 9.3 million families across the country. It does not focus on any particular province or district. On the contrary, it guarantees unconditional assistance to all regions. Many regions have started registering for the NSER dynamic survey to connect with deserving families.
Recently, the Government of Pakistan has agreed to raise the BISP budget by 15 to 20 percent, which will enable it to maintain support for eligible families.

A new update on the BISP web portal includes reflections from DG Naveed Akbar, who shared important information about the upcoming Benazir Kafaalat installments and a change in the payment system to improve transparency.
He focused the government’s commitment on raising the BISP budget, which presents an excellent opportunity to increase monthly payments to beneficiaries. This increase is essential to helping families cope with the rising cost of living.
Kafaalat payments will expand to include 7 lakh new families
With the budget increase, BISP Chairperson Rubina Khalid announced that the program will register an additional 700,000 new families under the Benazir Kafalat program, further expanding its scope.

During a recent visit to the BISP zonal office in Gilgit, Senator Rubina Khalid informed reporters that dynamic registration centres are the main approach to registering eligible families. Additionally, we will re-certify already registered households to evaluate their current economic status.
