In a major step towards poverty reduction and women’s empowerment, the Government of Pakistan has expanded the BISP Kafaalat Program 2025 under BISP. This expansion aims to support an additional 700,000 deserving women, raising the total number of beneficiaries to 10 million (1 crore).
This move reflects the government’s continued commitment to uplift underprivileged families, especially those headed by women. The financial aid provided through BISP serves as a critical support system for low-income households struggling with inflation, food insecurity, and limited access to healthcare and education.
Major Highlights of the BISP Expansion 2025
The latest changes to the BISP Kafaalat Program include a significant increase in both budget and outreach:
- 700,000 new families added to the program
- Total beneficiaries now reach 10 million women
- Budget increased by 20%, now at Rs 716 billion
- Quarterly stipend increased from Rs 13,500 to Rs 14,500
- Flexible bank options introduced for easier payments
Budget Raised to Rs 716 Billion for FY 2025–26
To support this massive expansion, the government has increased the BISP budget by Rs 120 billion, now totaling Rs 716 billion. This 20% increase will help cover both the inclusion of new families and the higher stipend payments.
The increased funding ensures that the program can sustain a broader reach, enhance the delivery of services, and maintain the integrity of Pakistan’s largest social safety net.
New Stipend: Rs 14,500 Per Quarter from January 2026
Recognizing the rising cost of living, the quarterly financial aid under the BISP Kafaalat Program will increase to Rs 14,500, effective from January 2026. This rise of Rs 1,000 will help families better manage essential expenses such as food, utilities, health, and school fees.
In many rural and economically weaker regions, this additional support will significantly ease financial pressures for women managing household budgets.
