New BISP Budget Update 2025-26

The Pakistani government has expanded its assistance for low-income households by increasing money for social welfare programs in the federal budget for 2025–2026. The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has been given a total of Rs 722.48 billion, and the Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety Division has been given Rs 10.23 billion.

Why Has the BISP Budget Has Been Increased?

The BISP’s new budget is Rs 722.48 billion, up from Rs 592 billion the previous year. This increase seeks to:

Deal with growing living expenses and inflation.
Increase the number of families participating in the Kafalat program and provide additional assistance to widows, people with disabilities, and underprivileged groups.
Enhance digital payment methods such as biometric authentication and mobile wallets.

BISP Quarterly Payment Increase From 13500 To 14500

Pakistan has made a big decision with the IMF for allocation of funds in diverse authorities. “We will allocate Rs 716 billion (0.5 percent of GDP) to the BISP in our FY26 budget, which is a nominal increase of 20 percent compared to FY25,” Pakistan informed the IMF. In order to account for the expected annual inflation in 2025 (new end-January 2026 SB), the benefits of the unconditional cash transfer (UCT) Kafaalat Program have been increased.

This would enable the quarterly benefit to rise from Rs 13,500 to Rs 14,500 starting in January 2026. Additionally, it will enable us to keep the overall number of homes enrolled at 10 million.
