Benazir Kafalat Program 2025
As you are aware, the Benazir Kafalat Program is a public-private partnership and one of the most considerable social security programs initiated by the Government of Pakistan. This program offers a quarterly cash stipend to women of poor and deserving families to cater to their daily expenditure like food, education, etc. The emphasis of the program is particularly on those women who are either widows or do not have any source of income. Currently, as per the statistics, there are around 9 million women who are availing benefits under this programme.
And now, as per orders given by the Government of Pakistan, BISP has made up its mind to add another 4 million women under the Kafalat programme by July or August. Most of these women will be those women who just got an SMS regarding the release of the payment of 13500 a few months back, but the payments did not get released to such women. But from now on, after this BISP decision, such women will be included in the program by July-August.
Here in this article, I will give you people detailed and genuine information in this regard. How are such women who have not yet completed their registration procedure but are from a poor or deserving family and are compelled to live under the poverty line enrolled in this program? Will such women be part of this program, and if so, for how long? In addition to this, I will give the eligibility criteria and other relevant information in this article to assist you people.
When Will Newly Added Women To The Program Get Paid?
Recently it has been revealed to add four lakh new women to the Kafalat program under the Benazir Income Support Program, and after that everyone’s most important question is when will these women receive financial support?
So in this sense, it has been narrated that currently, quarterly payment installments for January to March 2025 are being paid to the previously eligible women, and once this phase is over, all the newly added women will also be made a regular part of this program as well.
Then, when the new quarterly payment of BISP is announced in July and August, these four lakh women newly added to the program will also begin receiving payments along with it. And in the same way, BISP will make payments to all women systematically, which will entail all the existing regular beneficiaries already availing themselves and the newly added women
