The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has announced a critical update for all beneficiaries, particularly those receiving Taleemi Wazaif (educational stipends) for their children. It is now mandatory for children above 10 years of age to submit a new NADRA-issued B-Form by the strict deadline of July 30, 2025. Failing to comply could lead to the suspension of educational stipends for your children.
This is an important notice that directly impacts thousands of families. We understand the importance of these educational stipends for your children’s future. This guide will explain why this update is crucial, provide a step-by-step process on how to acquire and submit the new B-Form, and ensure your children’s BISP benefits continue uninterrupted.
Why the New B-Form Requirement for Children Over 10?
BISP regularly updates its beneficiary data to ensure accuracy, transparency, and targeted support. The requirement for a new B-Form for children above 10 years is primarily for:
- Age Verification: To ensure accurate age records for continued eligibility for Taleemi Wazaif, which are often age-sensitive.
- Data Integrity: To align BISP records with the latest data from NADRA (National Database and Registration Authority).
- Preventing Misuse: To minimize potential misuse or discrepancies in beneficiary data.
- Transition to CNIC Eligibility: As children approach the age of 18, they will need a CNIC. This step helps in creating a robust and verifiable record for future transitions within social protection programs.
This update directly affects the BISP Taleemi Wazaif July 2025 payments. If your child’s B-Form is not updated, their stipend might be withheld. For more on educational stipends, see BISP Taleemi Wazaif July 2025 Payments Guide.
Who is Affected by This Update?
This update applies to all BISP beneficiary families who have:
- Children above 10 years of age.
- These children are currently enrolled in schools and receiving BISP Taleemi Wazaif.
If your child falls into this category, you must act before July 30, 2025.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Get and Submit the New B-Form
Follow these crucial steps to ensure your child’s BISP educational stipends continue:
- Check Your Child’s B-Form Status:
- Verify the current B-Form you have for your child. If they are over 10 years old and the B-Form is old or hasn’t been re-issued recently by NADRA, you likely need a new one.
- Visit Your Nearest NADRA Office:
- Take your child (if possible), your original CNIC, and any existing B-Form of the child to the nearest NADRA Registration Center.
- Inform the NADRA official that you need a new B-Form (often referred to as a Juvenile Card for older children, leading to a CNIC later). Ensure all details, especially the child’s date of birth, are accurate.
- Biometric verification of the child (if applicable for their age) and the parent/guardian will be required.
- Pay the nominal fee for the new B-Form.
- Collect the New B-Form:
- NADRA will issue a receipt. Collect the new B-Form when it’s ready, usually within a few days or weeks, depending on the service option chosen.
- Submit the New B-Form to BISP:
- Once you have the new NADRA-issued B-Form, take it along with your original CNIC to your nearest BISP Tehsil Office.
- Inform the BISP representative that you are submitting the updated B-Form for your child (above 10 years) as per the latest instructions.
- Ensure the BISP staff scans or updates their records with the new B-Form details. Get a confirmation or receipt of submission if possible.
Why the Deadline is Critical: July 30, 2025
The July 30, 2025, deadline is firm. BISP will initiate a review of beneficiary records shortly after this date. If your child’s B-Form is not updated in the system by then, their Taleemi Wazaif payments could be temporarily suspended. This would require additional steps to reactivate, causing unnecessary delays.

FAQ Section
My child is exactly 10 years old. Do I need to get a new B-Form?
Yes, if your child is 10 years or older, you must obtain and submit a new B-Form by the deadline.
What if I cannot get a new B-Form from NADRA before July 30?
You should still apply at NADRA as soon as possible. Once you have the new B-Form, submit it to the BISP Tehsil Office. However, if the deadline passes, your child’s stipends might be temporarily suspended until the update is processed.
How do I know if my child’s B-Form is already updated in the BISP system?
There is no direct online check for this specific update. The safest approach is to visit your BISP Tehsil Office and confirm with their staff or provide the new B-Form if you have recently obtained one.
Will my main BISP Kafalat payment also be suspended if I don’t submit the new B-Form for my child?
The primary impact is on the Taleemi Wazaif for the specific child whose B-Form is not updated. However, consistently outdated information can sometimes lead to broader issues with your overall BISP status, so it’s always best to keep records current.
Conclusion
This important update from BISP regarding the submission of new B-Forms for children above 10 years old by July 30, 2025, is vital for continued Taleemi Wazaif benefits. Act promptly, visit your NADRA office for the new B-Form, and then submit it to your BISP Tehsil Office. Your timely action will ensure uninterrupted educational support for your children.
