The Benazir Kafalat Program has officially started distributing the Rs. 13,500 installment for eligible families across Sindh and Punjab. This new phase of payments aims to provide financial relief to thousands of low-income households before the end of October 2025, ensuring smooth access through transparent digital channels.
What is the Benazir Kafalat Rs. 13,500 Installment?
The BISP Benazir Kafalat initiative provides quarterly cash support to registered families under the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). In this latest phase, each deserving family will receive Rs. 13,500 directly through designated bank partners and BISP campsites.
This installment is part of the Ehsaas Social Protection framework, launched to help families facing inflation and rising household costs across Pakistan.

According to the official update, the BISP 13,500 payment distribution began simultaneously in Sindh and Punjab, where Benazir centers and partner banks have set up dedicated counters to ensure a smooth payout process.
