BISP Installment Increase February 2026-Latest Payment Updates

The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has announced a significant increase in financial assistance starting February 2026. This adjustment aims to support millions of low-income families facing inflation and rising living costs.

The latest update under the Benazir Kafaalat Program ensures households receive higher quarterly installments to meet essential needs.

New BISP Payment Amount for January 2026

Payment Detail Amount
New Quarterly Installment Rs. 13,500
Previous Amount Rs. 10,500
Increase Percentage Approx. 28%
Special Cases Up to Rs. 14,500 for backlog or special eligibility

Note: Families enrolled in the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif (Education Stipends) program will receive additional amounts per child.

Payment Schedule and Distribution

  • Release Date: Payments began rolling out in late February 2026.

  • Phased Rollout: District-wise to avoid overcrowding.

  • Withdrawal Methods:

    • Biometric ATMs: HBL (Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan) or Bank Alfalah (KPK, AJK, Gilgit-Baltistan) using thumbprint verification.

    • Digital Wallets: JazzCash & Easypaisa in selected districts.

    • Authorized Retailers: BISP camps and retail shops remain active.

How to Check Your Increased Payment Status

Beneficiaries can verify their updated payment using 8171 channels:

Why the Increase Was Necessary

The increase aligns with the current Poverty Means Test (PMT) scores and rising costs of essential commodities. The goal is to ensure beneficiaries can cover:

  • Basic food basket

  • Household necessities

  • Educational support for children

This step reinforces BISP’s commitment to financial relief and social welfare for vulnerable communities across Pakistan.
