Good news for millions of deserving families! The Government of Pakistan has officially increased the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) quarterly installment from Rs. 13,500 to Rs. 14,500. This increase is effective from July 1, 2025, providing extra help for households struggling with inflation and rising expenses.
💰 Why the BISP Payment Was Increased
Pakistan’s economy has been under pressure due to:
- Record-high inflation
- Soaring food and fuel prices
- Increasing cost of living
To reduce this burden, the government has boosted the BISP budget by 20%, taking it from Rs. 597 billion to Rs. 716 billion for the new fiscal year 2025–26. This move:
✔️ Shields poor families from inflation
✔️ Meets Pakistan’s social protection goals under IMF agreements
✔️ Helps keep children in school with Taleemi Wazaif
✔️ Expands help to more low-income households
