BISP 8171 Update: Benazir Kafalat Installment Increased to Rs. 14,500 for 2026
In a major move toward women’s empowerment and social protection, the Government of Pakistan has officially increased the quarterly stipend for the Benazir Kafalat Program. For the upcoming payment cycle, beneficiaries will no longer receive Rs. 13,500; instead, the installment has been hiked to Rs. 14,500.
This increase is part of the “Benazir’s Dream” initiative, which aims to ensure that every woman in Pakistan is financially independent and prosperous.
New BISP Payment Structure: Rs. 13,500 to Rs. 14,500
To combat rising inflation and provide better support to low-income families, the BISP management has added an additional Rs. 1,000 to the regular quarterly installment.
| Program Name | Old Installment (PKR) | New Installment (PKR) | Total Increase |
| Benazir Kafalat | 13,500 | 14,500 | 1,000 |
