Benazir Kafalat Program
Benazir Kafalat Program provides financial assistance to poor and deserving families in Pakistan. Because under this program, about 90 lakh women belonging to poor and deserving families have joined this program. The government of Pakistan provides financial assistance of 10,500 every three months through this program and according to the latest updates, the happy thing is that this amount is being increased to 13,500 in 2025.
If we talk about the importance and history of this program, then let me tell you that this program was started by former Prime Minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto in 2008. At the time of its inception, the purpose of this program was to provide financial assistance to widows only. But with the passage of time, there were changes in this program and now this program also provides financial assistance to women belonging to poor and needy families. So that these people can improve their lives and fix their financial conditions by getting financial assistance.

Increased Financial Aid
At present Benazir Income Support Program is providing financial assistance of 10500 to the beneficiaries of Benazir Kafalat Program on quarterly basis. And after the recent increase in BISP budget, this aid will be increased to 13500 in 2025. In the same way as you know that almost 9 million women are currently benefiting from the Benazir Kafalat program, the government of Pakistan has set a target of registering 10 million women under this program by next year. This work of the government of Pakistan is a great project to reduce poverty in the country, because this project will end poverty in the country and it is a great opportunity for women who have not yet completed their registration to complete their registration. So that women belonging to poor and deserving families can benefit from this program which is a very welcome initiative.
Increase In Number Of Banks
Earlier, the women receiving payment from Benazir Income Support Program used to receive payment from Habib Bank Limited, due to which these women had to face many difficulties in getting payment. Keeping these difficulties in mind, the Benazir Income Support Program has added more banks to its list. So that people do not have to face any difficulties in getting their payment and they can get their money as soon as possible without any waiting.
Now the Benazir Income Support Program will provide timely payments to the beneficiaries through the following banks.
- Bank Al Falah
- Bank of Punjab
- Mobilink Microfinance/Jazz Cash
- Telenor Microfinance Bank
- HABIB BANK LIMITED
- HBL Microfinance
Benazir Kafalat Program New Registration
Let me tell you that according to the instructions of President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari, the registration of Ehsaas Kafalat program has been started to expand the scope of Benazir Income Support Program. Along with widows, now also those women who belong to poor and deserving families whose conditions are very difficult and they are living under the wave of poverty will be able to complete their registration. Such women who have no one to earn can get their financial assistance by completing their registration. Now the registration process has been made very easy, now you can go to any BISP office and complete your registration process. To complete the registration, women must have a National Identity Card, Children’s Bay Form and a registered mobile number in their name.
Apart from this, mobile van service has also been started by BISP for the convenience of such women who cannot go to BISP offices by traveling from distant areas to complete their registration.
Conclusion
The Benazir Kafalat program is an important source of financial support for poor and needy women in Pakistan. This program not only helps those women who are facing financial difficulties but also ensures the improvement of their lives by providing them with other resources through other programs. According to recent updates, the government of Pakistan is trying to expand this program so that more and more women from poor and needy families can benefit from it. The new targets and the increase in the number of banks have made it easier for the beneficiaries to get financial assistance, which is a positive step.
