The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has officially started disbursing the Rs. 14,500 quarterly payment instead of 13,500 for May 2025. If you are already a registered beneficiary, you can now check your payment status online or through SMS using the BISP 8171 system.
This article will guide you on how to check your payment, who is eligible, and what to do if your payment is delayed.
Why the BISP Payment Increased to 14,500?
The budget of the Benazir Income Support Programme has been specially increased. The amount of assistance and the installments of the BISP Kafaalat program have been increased according to the increase that was made in the middle year.
It means that now, after the increase of three thousand rupees, you are getting the same installments of 10500 rupees in the form of 13500 rupees. In the same way, the government has decided that, according to its previous routine, the budget of the Benazir Income Support Programme will be increased by 20%.
This time, and after this increase, all the payments of the Benazir Income Support Programme, whether they are the payments of the Benazir Kafaalat program or the payments of Benazir Taleemi Wazaif allowances, will be increased to 14,500.
