Benazir Kafaalat 2026 Payment Update – New Rs. 14,500 Installment Schedule Explained
The Benazir Kafaalat Program 2026 has introduced an updated payment plan, increasing the quarterly assistance to Rs. 14,500 for eligible women across Pakistan. This increase reflects the government’s effort to support low-income households amid rising inflation, food prices, and utility costs. Millions of registered families under the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) are expected to benefit from this revised disbursement.
New Disbursement Schedule for Rs. 14,500 Installment
According to official BISP planning, the Rs. 14,500 Kafaalat installment will be released in phases to ensure smooth payment delivery and avoid overcrowding at payment centers. Beneficiaries will receive confirmation through 8171 SMS alerts before collections begin.
Payments will be issued through HBL Konnect agents, partner banks, ATMs, and designated BISP payment centers, depending on district arrangements. Only beneficiaries with successful CNIC and biometric verification will be able to receive the installment.

To qualify for the new Kafaalat installment, beneficiaries must meet updated eligibility conditions:

- Active registration in the NSER Dynamic Registry
