The Benazir Kafalat Program has entered Phase 2 of payments in 2026, bringing financial relief to thousands of eligible families across Pakistan. Under the supervision of the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), beneficiaries are now completing verification to receive the latest Rs. 13,500 installment.
Authorities have started releasing payments district-wise after updating beneficiary records through the 8171 Web Portal and the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) system.
Phase 2 Payment Update for 2026
The second phase focuses mainly on families whose payments were previously delayed due to verification or biometric issues.
Key highlights:
- Installment amount: Rs.13,500
- Payments are released in selected districts first
- Verification is mandatory before payment collection
- SMS confirmation sent through the 8171 service
- Payments distributed via authorized BISP centers
Eligible women receiving support under the Ehsaas Kafalat initiative are being prioritized in this phase.
