BISP Kafalat October–December 2026 instalment: Rs 14,500, paid into the digital wallet
The quarterly Benazir Kafalat payment for October to December 2026 is Rs 14,500. That is the amount BISP has paid since it raised the stipend by Rs 1,000 in February 2026. The government’s 22 June briefing confirmed Rs 14,500 as the current amount and set the next increase for January 2027. No change for this quarter has been announced.
What is different this quarter
Payments now go only into the digital wallet linked to the free Benazir SIM. On 6 November the Prime Minister’s office said all BISP payments are being made through digital wallets. Since 20 October, beneficiaries can withdraw from any authorised retailer of six partner banks, in any city.
Who is affected
Women already enrolled in Benazir Kafalat. Payment dates differ by area, so a neighbour being paid first does not mean your payment has a problem.
What to do next
- Wait for the SMS from 8171. It tells you the money has reached your wallet. The money stays there safely until you withdraw it.
- To check your status, send your CNIC number to 8171 or use the official 8171 portal.
- Count your money. You should receive the full Rs 14,500 with no deduction. Do not hand your phone or SIM to a retailer or agent.
