BISP Taleemi Wazaif: Government May Increase Child Stipends by Rs. 500 in January 2026

For thousands of low-income families in Pakistan, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is more than just financial help—it’s a lifeline. Now, the government is considering another step to help struggling parents: a Rs. 500 increase per child under the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif initiative, starting January 2026.

This move aims to make education more affordable for poor households, especially those led by women enrolled in the Kafalat Program.

Why Is This Increase Being Proposed?

Over the past few years, inflation has pushed many families to the edge. School fees, uniforms, books, and transport costs have become hard to manage, forcing many children—especially girls—to drop out.

By offering an extra Rs. 500 per child every quarter, the government hopes to:

• Reduce school-related financial pressure on parents.

• Encourage children, particularly girls, to stay in school.

• Improve literacy and attendance rates across the country.

For a mother with two school-going children, this could mean an additional Rs. 1,000 per quarter, directly easing her financial burden.

What Is Benazir Taleemi Wazaif?

Benazir Taleemi Wazaif is the education-focused wing of BISP. It provides conditional cash support to mothers who are already BISP beneficiaries. To qualify, children must:

• Be enrolled in a registered school (nursery to Grade 12).

• Maintain at least 70% attendance each month.

Payments are sent directly to the mother’s account every quarter, linking financial support to education.

How Families Can Qualify for the Rs. 500 Increase

The new increase will apply automatically to those already registered, but families must ensure:

What Happens Next?

While the Rs. 500 raise is still under final government review, once approved:

• Payments will begin with the January 2026 disbursement cycle.

• Families won’t need to re-apply—the amount will be added automatically.

• BISP offices and schools will coordinate to verify attendance and eligibility.

Why This Matters

This potential increase isn’t just about money—it’s about building a future. By helping families keep their kids in school, BISP is tackling two challenges at once: poverty and illiteracy. For many women, it’s also a chance to manage household expenses with dignity, knowing their children’s education won’t be sacrificed.

If approved, this small step could make a big difference, not just for families, but for Pakistan’s future workforce and education system.
