BISP Kafalat September 2025: Rs. 13,500 Payment Rollout Begins
The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has started releasing its September 2025 Kafalat payments, bringing crucial financial support to low-income families across Pakistan. Each eligible woman will receive Rs. 13,500 this quarter, a significant lifeline as inflation and living costs continue to squeeze households.
The program, which operates nationwide—including Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, Azad Jammu & Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan—aims to ease economic pressure while empowering women as primary recipients of aid.

Widows, divorced women, and families caring for orphans are given priority.
