The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has begun releasing double payments under its 8171 Kafalat Program in selected districts across Pakistan. This development is aimed at covering pending payments from previous quarters alongside the current July 2025 payment.
Beneficiaries in selected areas will now receive Rs. 27,000 instead of Rs. 13,500, addressing missed disbursements due to verification delays or technical issues.
Let’s dive into the full details.
Why Is BISP Issuing Double Payments?
Many families under the Benazir Kafalat Program had not received their earlier installments due to:
-
Biometric verification issues
-
NADRA CNIC verification delays
-
District-level fund allocation delays
-
Banking system transition problems (JazzCash to HBL Konnect)
-
Errors in family registration or survey records
To resolve these issues, BISP has released a one-time double installment of Rs. 27,000 in eligible districts during the July 2025 payment cycle.
What Is the Amount in BISP Double Payment?
The double payment includes two combined quarterly disbursements:
| Installment | Amount |
|---|---|
| Previous Quarter (Missed) | Rs. 13,500 |
| Current Quarter (July 2025) | Rs. 13,500 |
| Total Double Payment | Rs. 27,000 |
This payment is strictly for eligible households who did not receive their earlier Kafalat payment but are verified and active in the BISP 8171 system now.
