Benazir Taleemi Wazaif 2025-26: BISP's Conditional Cash Transfer for Education
The Benazir Taleemi Wazaif Program 2025-26, a flagship initiative of the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), provides quarterly stipends to encourage school enrollment and retention among children from low-income families. As a Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) scheme, it links payments to 70% attendance, targeting primary (ages 4–12), secondary (8–18), and higher secondary (13–22) levels.
Named after former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, the program has enrolled 9.4 million children since 2012, disbursing over Rs. 40 billion to reduce dropout rates by 25% nationwide. In 2025-26, with a confirmed Rs. 500 increase starting January 2026, it supports BISP Kafalat beneficiaries in all provinces, including AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan.
November 29, 2025 Update: Q4 payments (for Oct–Dec attendance) disbursing now via banks/camps. Ongoing enrollment – no fixed deadline. Verify via SMS 8171.
