BISP 8171 Budget Likely To Increase
BISP 8171 is a significant social security program introduced by the Government of Pakistan that provides financial assistance to the low-income and deserving households throughout the country on a quarterly basis. According to the recent updates, major strides are being achieved for BISP in the federal budget for fiscal year 2025-26. As per the reports, the government has increased the budget for this program by 20 percent, and it is expected that Rs 716 billion will be invested in BISP in the next budget.
Here in this article, I will give you complete information about the budget of the fiscal year 2025. If the budget is raised as suggested, then how would it help the poor and deserving families? Along with this, I will also inform you about the new registration of the Kafalat program and the new registration of the Taleemi Wazaif program for your guidance. So if you want to get complete and authentic information, you have to read this article till the end.
Increase In The Amount Of Assistance
As per the latest information, the quantum of the Benazir Kafalat Program is likely to rise by Rs 1,000 from January 2026. At present, the beneficiaries are receiving quarterly financial support of Rs 13,500, which will go up to Rs 14,500 after the new hike. The hike will be nothing short of a blessing for poor families at the time being since growing expenses have immensely impacted the lives of the common man.
Target To Increase The Number Of Beneficiaries
Not only is the level of aid being raised, but arrangements are also being made for further expanding the purview of BISP. The population under the Kafalat program is to be raised to 10 million, according to reports. The primary goal of this step is to give financial aid to those households that have not yet been able to join the program for some reason or another.
It must be noted that currently, the number of women being covered under the Kafalat program is approximately 9 million. It is being reported that further 400,000 women will be covered under the next payments, and further 600,000 women will also be covered under the Kafalat program by 2025 so that it reaches the target of 10 million. Here, I am going to inform you for your reference that these 600,000 women will be those who completed their survey registration process and their eligibility is still being verified.
And if we discuss the Taleemi Wazaif program, tell me that in 2025, another 1 million children will be included in the Taleemi Wazaif program. Keep it in mind, these will be the offspring of these women who will be enrolled in the Kafalat program
Why Is The Budget Increase Necessary?
As has been discussed, BISP is now Pakistan’s biggest social safety net, which has been handing direct cash transfer to some 9 million families. But in the recent past, inflation and economic unrest in the nation have hit hard the poor class. The economic woes of millions of families have grown worse as a result of rising prices of daily necessities.
On this occasion, the government has also decided to raise the budget of BISP and include more beneficiaries in this program so that they can be given timely and effective financial aid.
When Will The New Registration Start?
Though there is discussion about raising the size of the assistance and the number of recipients, most are also waiting to know when the registration process will begin. So, to direct all such poor and worthy families, I want to inform you that the BISP registration process is ongoing throughout the year. Individuals from poor and worthy families can easily get their process of registration done by going to their closest BISP office at any point of time. It must be kept in mind that BISP has set up centers for registration in nearly all the cities in the country to make the people’s life easy.
Most people also have this false impression that registration can be done online. So, to lead such individuals, let me make it clear that BISP has not yet offered the provision to do registration online. It is absolutely false that registration can be done online
