BISP 10500 New Qist Released for April 2025
The latest installment of Rs. 10,500 under the Benazir Kafalat Program has started. This payment is being distributed in three phases to ensure transparency and avoid overcrowding at payment centers.
1st Phase Districts
The first phase began on April 15, 2025, and includes over 46 districts. Women who have already received a confirmation message from 8171 can now visit their nearest payment center or designated bank to collect their money.
If your district is not included in the first phase, don’t worry—your payment will be released soon in the second or third phase.
