BISP Kafalat Program: Cash Aid Raised from Rs 13,500 to Rs 14,500 Every Quarter
Starting July 2025, the quarterly payment under the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) Kafalat Program has been increased from Rs 13,500 to Rs 14,500. This raise is meant to help struggling families manage the rising costs of living.
