Latest Update BISP Women’s Payment Raised to Rs. 14,500

In a major step to support low-income families, the Government of Pakistan has officially increased the BISP Ehsaas Kafalat installment for women to Rs. 14,500. This update, announced in May 2025 under the new Federal Budget, brings much-needed relief for women struggling with rising costs of living.

This decision highlights the government’s commitment to helping financially weak women through direct cash support under the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) and Ehsaas Kafalat Program.

What is the BISP Ehsaas Kafalat Program?

The Ehsaas Kafalat Program is a key social protection initiative by the Government of Pakistan that provides regular cash payments to poor and deserving women. Its main aims are to:

Support women-led households
Cover basic needs like food, health, and education
Reduce poverty
Empower women through financial independence

This program is managed under BISP and uses digital systems and biometric verification to ensure fair and transparent delivery.

New Update: Women to Get Rs. 14,500 in 2025

As per the official announcement:

New Payment Amount: Rs. 14,500
Target Group: Registered BISP/Ehsaas Kafalat women beneficiaries
Effective Date: From the next payment cycle after Budget 2025
Announced By: Government of Pakistan under its welfare program

This increase helps women cope with rising expenses and gives them better control over household finances.

Why the Increase Was Necessary

Here’s why raising the payment to Rs. 14,500 is so important:

📈 1. Inflation and High Prices

Daily essentials like food, cooking oil, flour, and vegetables are becoming more expensive. The previous amount was not enough to meet basic needs.

🏥 2. Health Expenses

Many women use this cash for medicine, doctor visits, and children’s health checkups.

🎓 3. Children’s Education

The increased money helps pay for school fees, uniforms, and books under Taleemi Wazaif (Educational Scholarships).

👜 4. Financial Empowerment

Direct cash payments give women more control and dignity in managing their home.
