Benazir Kafalat Program 2025: Second BISP Payment Cycle Begins in Some Areas

The second installment of the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has now started in some parts of Pakistan. This payment covers the months of April to June 2025 under the Benazir Kafalat program. More areas will begin receiving payments soon.

If you’re a registered woman under this program, it’s important to check your status and payment amount using your CNIC through the 8171 web portal.

2025 BISP Payment Schedule:

BISP gives money to low-income women four times a year (every 3 months). These are called “installments” or “qist”.

Full Schedule for 2025:

• First installment: January to March

• Second installment: April to June

• Third installment: July to September

• Fourth installment: October to December

The second payment has already started in some districts.

Who Can Get BISP Kafalat Payments?

Only eligible women who are registered in the BISP system can get this money.

Eligibility Conditions:

• You must be a female head of the family

• Your PMT score should be 32 or below

• You should not work for the government

• You should not own a big house or car

• Your CNIC must be valid (expired CNIC is accepted if it matches the system record)

What Is a PMT Score?

PMT means Proxy Means Test. It shows your poverty level.
The lower your PMT score, the more likely you are to get BISP support.

For April to June 2025, the payment is Rs. 10,500.
