How Much BISP Payment Will You Receive?
Under the Kafalat program, every eligible woman will receive Rs. 13,500 this quarter. This amount is part of the regular cash assistance provided by BISP to help low-income families. In addition to this, if your children are registered in the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif program, you will also receive their educational stipends.
The Taleemi Wazaif amounts depend on the class and gender of your children:
- Primary School: Rs. 1,500 (boys) and Rs. 2,000 (girls) per month
- Middle School: Rs. 2,500 (boys) and Rs. 3,000 (girls) per month
- Matric Level: Rs. 3,500 (boys) and Rs. 4,000 (girls) per month
Since these scholarships are given every three months, a woman can receive an additional amount from Rs. 4,500 up to Rs. 16,000 or even more depending on the number of her school-going children. You should calculate your total amount before going to the campsite so you know exactly how much to expect.

Where and How to Receive the BISP Payment?
Payments are being distributed through designated campsites in the same locations used last time. Women should visit their nearest campsite in the listed districts with their original CNIC to receive their funds. There is no change in the campsite locations, so you can go to the same place you visited during the last phase of payment.
Make sure to complete your screening process when you arrive at the center. It helps in determining how much payment you are eligible to receive. Also, after receiving your cash, complete the screening again to avoid any complaints or record errors.
How to Check If Your BISP Payment Has Arrived?
You can check your payment status through two simple methods:
1. SMS Method

To ensure a smooth payment process, please follow these tips:
- Bring your original, valid CNIC. Do not carry expired ID cards.
