In a major step to support low-income families, the government of Pakistan has increased the payment under the BISP Kafalat Program. Starting July 2025, families will now receive Rs. 14,500 every three months, up from the previous Rs. 13,500. This decision comes as inflation continues to affect basic living costs.
The increase has been approved with the support of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Alongside the raise, the government has also expanded the BISP budget and beneficiary list, adding 700,000 more families to the program. This will bring the total number of beneficiaries to 10 million families across Pakistan. BISP Kafalat Program
