The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) Kafalat 2025 continues to serve as a financial backbone for millions of underprivileged families in Pakistan. And now, there’s big news for all beneficiaries: the quarterly payment has officially increased from Rs. 13,500 to Rs. 14,500, starting July 2025. This decision couldn’t have come at a better time, especially with rising inflation and increasing expenses for everyday essentials like food, electricity, and school fees.

Why the Increase in BISP Kafalat Payment?
Pakistan is going through a tough time economically. Inflation is soaring, the currency has lost value, and poverty is on the rise. In such circumstances, the government has stepped in with a crucial decision to support the poorest segments by raising the BISP installment.
This increase is also part of broader IMF-recommended reforms that aim to make social welfare programs more impactful and transparent. For the fiscal year 2025–26, the government has allocated a record-breaking Rs. 716 billion to BISP — a 20% jump from the previous year. This money won’t just support the increased payments, but also allow 700,000 new families to join the program, bringing the total number of beneficiary families to 10 million by mid-2026.
