BISP Child Stipends August 2025: When is next payment?

Millions of low-income families in Pakistan depend on the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) to meet basic needs. One important part of this program is the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif, which gives stipends to children for their education.

What Are BISP Child Stipends?

These are cash payments given every three months to help poor families send their children to school. The main goals are to:

• Increase school attendance

• Reduce child labour

• Support girls’ education

• Ease the financial burden on poor families

When Will Payments Be Given?

The next payment cycle will begin from 15 August 2025, covering the April to June period. Some families will get SMS notifications, while others should check their status manually.

How Are Payments Given?

• At camp sites in cities and villages

• Through registered mobile agents or retailers

• Some families receive money directly in linked bank accounts

Parents must:

• Be active BISP Kafalat recipients
