The Government of Pakistan has officially announced a significant increase in the BISP (Benazir Income Support Programme) cash transfer for low-income families, starting from July 2025. This new update brings relief to millions struggling to keep up with inflation and rising household expenses. But what exactly has changed? Who benefits? How much will you now receive?
In this article, we break down everything you need to know about the July 2025 BISP payment increase — in simple terms, with all the facts and answers you’ve been searching for.
Why the BISP Stipend Was Increased in July 2025
With inflation affecting basic goods like food, medicine, electricity, and transportation, the earlier BISP amount of Rs. 13,500 was no longer enough for many low-income families to survive.
To counter this, the government revised the quarterly cash stipend after consulting with the Finance Ministry, social welfare experts, and based on recent poverty statistics. The decision was also encouraged by international development partners pushing for stronger social safety nets in Pakistan.
How Much Is the New BISP Payment in July 2025?
The new payment amount for BISP beneficiaries is:
-
Rs. 15,500 per quarter (previously Rs. 13,500)
This increase of Rs. 2,000 is now officially active for all eligible women across Pakistan under the BISP Kafalat program. The change applies from the July–September 2025 cycle and will continue onward unless the government announces further changes.
Updated Payment Table – July 2025
