In July 2025, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has announced an increase in its stipend amount, bringing relief to millions of deserving families across Pakistan. This decision comes at a time when inflation and daily expenses have burdened poor households. In this article, you will find complete details about the stipend increase, who will get it, how much extra payment is being given, and what steps you need to follow to receive it smoothly.
Why Did BISP Increase the Stipend This Month?
According to official sources, the government has decided to raise BISP payments because:
- Inflation has made essential items like flour, sugar, ghee, and medicines expensive.
- Many women complained that the existing amount was not sufficient for household needs.
- The government wants to ensure better nutrition, education, and health support for children in low-income families.
This increase is part of the government’s poverty alleviation strategy to provide dignity and financial protection to the poorest citizens.
How Much Has The Stipend Increased?
From July 2025 onwards, BISP beneficiaries will receive an additional Rs. 1,500 to Rs. 2,000 depending on their category. Here is a simple breakdown:
| Beneficiary Type | Previous Amount (Rs.) | New Amount (Rs.) |
| Regular Kafalat Women | 10,500 | 12,000 |
| Special Category (Widows, Elderly, Disabled) | 10,500 | 12,500 |
| Taleemi Wazaif Children (Per Child) | 1,500 – 4,500 | Increased by Rs. 500 per child |
This increase will be reflected automatically in your upcoming payment. You do not need to reapply to get the increased amount.

The stipend increase applies to all active BISP Kafalat beneficiaries, including:
- Women registered under the Benazir Kafalat programme.
