Why Has the Payment Increased to Rs. 14,500?
In July 2024, the government raised the BISP Kafaalat amount from Rs. 13,500 to Rs. 14,500 to help families cope with increasing inflation and financial hardship. This adjustment was also backed by international organizations such as the IMF, ensuring that the most deserving citizens of Pakistan continue to receive timely support. This payment increase is a part of a broader plan to enhance social protection across the country.
