Good news for people who want to be a part of the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). The Kafalat beneficiaries will receive a 20% increase in quarterly payments starting January 2025. Eligible beneficiaries who have registered through the NSER survey at their local Tehsil office will now receive Rs 13500 instead of the previous Rs 10500.
Increment in BISP Quarterly Payment Confirmed
Naveed Akbar, Director General of BISP, confirmed that this 20 percent increase will come into effect at the beginning of the new year. He explained that inflation has continued to rise, and this increment will cover the rising costs for needy people. Newly enrolled beneficiaries and those who have completed recertification will receive the updated amount.
Rs 3000 Rise for Benazir Kafaalat Payments
The increase raises the quarterly payment to Rs 13500, slated for disbursement next year. To ensure timely payments without deductions or delays, BISP has partnered with six other banks. If there is an issue with a particular bank, the scheme will quickly take action to sever ties with that institution.
Govt. of Pakistan Increased the BISP Budget
In a televised appearance, Naveed Akbar thanked Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for the increase in the BISP budget that led to this increase in Kafalat payments. From January 2025, beneficiaries will notice the increase in their quarterly payments.
