In 2026, the Government of Pakistan has strengthened digital transparency in the Benazir Income Support Programme to prevent illegal deductions by middlemen. The system now ensures that payments reach beneficiaries directly and safely.
This year, the program has expanded to support more than 10 million families across the country. The main goal is to make sure that every deserving woman receives financial assistance without delays or unfair cuts.
Latest Payment Amount: Rs. 13,500
For 2026, the quarterly installment under the Benazir Kafalat Program has been fixed at Rs. 13,500. This increase is aimed at helping low-income families manage rising expenses, especially food and electricity bills.
Families whose children are registered in school may also receive Benazir Taleemi Wazaif. This educational stipend is provided in addition to the regular Kafalat payment.
