The Benazir Taleemi Wazaif Program is a lifeline for thousands of low-income families across Pakistan, helping parents keep their children in school despite rising living costs. As the August 2025 payment cycle begins, many families are eager to know when funds will arrive, how to verify their eligibility, and what steps to take if payments are delayed. This guide explains everything you need to know — from checking your 8171 CNIC status to updating your documents — so you don’t miss your child’s stipend.
Why This Program Matters for Families
For many parents, even basic school expenses like fees, uniforms, and transport can be overwhelming. The Taleemi Wazaif stipend, paid directly to the mother of each eligible child, helps ease these burdens and ensures children can stay in school. When payments are delayed, it often means missed classes or financial stress at home. That’s why it’s important to stay updated on your payment status and keep your records accurate.
How Much Will Families Receive in August 2025?
Payments vary based on the child’s school level and gender, with higher stipends for girls to encourage female education:
| Education Level | Boys (PKR) | Girls (PKR) |
|---|---|---|
| Primary (Grades 1–5) | 2,500 | 3,000 |
| Secondary (Grades 6–10) | 3,500 | 4,000 |
| Higher Secondary (Grades 11–12) | 4,500 | 5,000 |
These stipends are provided in addition to the BISP Kafaalat payment of Rs. 13,500 per quarter, helping families manage both household and education-related costs.
