BISP Payments Exclusively for Women
The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) is making headlines with a clear statement: BISP payments are only for women, ensuring support to those from vulnerable families. Many people remain unaware that this program solely caters to women and aims to uplift their standard of living, especially by helping with education through Benazir Taleemi Wazaif.
Benazir Program Supports Deserving Women Only
During a recent live session, Rubina Khalid reiterated that men are not eligible for BISP registration using their CNIC. Only women within the family, such as mothers, sisters, or wives with valid CNICs, are eligible for financial assistance from the 8171 Kafalat Program. Families should ensure their female members complete the registration at the BISP Tehsil office to avail of this benefit.

Men’s CNIC Cannot Be Registered for BISP Payments
Despite its long-standing operation, many still mistakenly believe that men can register for BISP and receive the PKR 10,500 Kafalat Payment. However, the BISP program was created specifically to assist poor women and their children, improving their living standards and providing educational opportunities. Men cannot register for BISP, and families should ensure women complete the NSER Survey to qualify.
