The Benazir Kafalat Program 2025 continues to provide financial aid to low-income women across Pakistan. The government has increased the quarterly installment from Rs. 10,500 to Rs. 13,500 to support eligible beneficiaries better.
However, some payments were temporarily paused, causing confusion among recipients. If you’re waiting for your payment, this article explains why payments were delayed, who qualifies, and when payments will restart.
Why Was the Rs. 13,500 Payment Temporarily Stopped?
Many beneficiaries were concerned about the delay in payments. Here are the two main reasons:
1. Internal Elections at BISP Headquarters
The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) conducted internal elections, which caused a brief pause in payment processing.
2. Misunderstanding Among Beneficiaries
Some existing beneficiaries believed that only newly enrolled women were receiving payments, causing widespread confusion. To ensure fairness and transparency, BISP temporarily halted all payments.
✔ Good News: The pause is temporary, and payments will resume soon.
Who Will Receive the Rs. 13,500 Payment?
All eligible new and existing beneficiaries will receive the payment. However, there is one exception:
❌ Women who already received the January-March 2025 installment will not get this payment again.
✔ If you haven’t received your payment yet, don’t worry! You are still eligible, and payments will restart soon.
When Will the Payments Resume?
Although BISP has not announced an official date, sources confirm that payments are expected to restart in the second or third week of February 2025.
🔹 Existing and new beneficiaries will receive their payments at the same time.
🔹 If you are in a district where the October-December 2024 installment is still being distributed, you can collect your payment now from your nearest BISP payment center.
