The Benazir Kafalat Program, a flagship welfare initiative by the Government of Pakistan, has announced a significant increase in its financial aid amount. In 2025, beneficiaries will now receive Rs. 13,500 every quarter, an upgrade aimed at providing stronger financial relief to low-income families across the country.
This program is a part of the broader Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) and focuses on empowering underprivileged households, especially women, through direct cash transfers.
Increased Support for Needy Families
As inflation and economic challenges continue to affect Pakistan’s lower-income population, the government has decided to raise the Kafalat quarterly payment from the previous amount to Rs. 13,500. This increase is expected to help families meet basic needs such as food, education, and healthcare more comfortably.
