Benazir Income Support & Ehsaas Program 2025 – New Payment Started, Check Eligibility Online


The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), now merged with the Ehsaas Program, stands as Pakistan’s largest welfare and poverty relief initiative. Originally launched to provide cash assistance to underprivileged families, this program has evolved into a nationwide safety net that reaches millions of citizens every year.

In October 2025, the Government of Pakistan began a new payment phase under the Benazir Kafalat / Ehsaas scheme. The latest round officially started on 15 October 2025, and funds are being distributed through BISP centers, HBL Connect, and Bank Alfalah branches. Thousands of eligible women have already received their payments under this new cycle.

What Is the Benazir (Ehsaas) Program?

First launched in 2008, the Benazir Income Support Programme was created to provide financial help to low-income families across Pakistan. In 2019, the Ehsaas Program was introduced as an extension of this initiative to cover more areas such as education, nutrition, and emergency aid.

Today, both programs are combined into a single platform. The objective is to empower women and reduce poverty by providing quarterly financial assistance directly to their CNIC-linked accounts. The payments are verified through biometric systems to ensure transparency and eliminate corruption.

  • Quarterly cash amount: PKR 10,500 per eligible family.
  • Funds distributed via HBL Connect and Bank Alfalah agents.
  • Only one woman per family (head of household) receives the stipend.
  • All payments are verified using NADRA biometric systems.
