Why the BISP Kafalat Payment Was Increased
Inflation and the rising cost of living have made it increasingly difficult for low-income families to make ends meet. Recognizing this, the government has raised the quarterly cash assistance from Rs. 9,000 to Rs. 13,500. This increase is designed to help families cover essential expenses like food, healthcare, and education, providing a much-needed safety net during these challenging times.
By boosting the payment amount, the government aims to:
- Alleviate poverty and reduce financial stress.
- Improve living conditions for millions of households.
- Ensure that vulnerable groups, such as widows, disabled individuals, and low-income families, receive adequate support.
9 Lakh New Families Added to the Program
One of the most significant updates to the BISP Kafalat program is the inclusion of 9 lakh new families. This expansion means that more households than ever before will now have access to financial assistance. The program’s reach has grown to 10 million beneficiaries, ensuring that a larger portion of Pakistan’s most vulnerable populations can benefit from this initiative.
This expansion is a strategic move by the government to:
- Widen the scope of social welfare programs.
- Ensure that no deserving family is left behind.
- Provide a financial lifeline to those who need it most, including widows, divorced women, and disabled individuals.
Who Is Eligible for the BISP Kafalat 13500 Cash Payment?
The BISP Kafalat program is specifically designed to assist Pakistan’s most disadvantaged communities. However, not everyone qualifies for the aid. Here are the key eligibility criteria:
- Low-Income Families: Households living below the poverty line with no stable income sources.
- Widows, Divorced Women, and Disabled Individuals: Special consideration is given to women without financial support and individuals with disabilities.
- No Significant Assets: Families owning expensive properties, businesses, or vehicles are excluded.
- No Other Government Aid: Individuals already receiving other forms of government assistance may not qualify.
- Valid CNIC: Applicants must be Pakistani citizens with a valid Computerized National Identity Card.
To ensure eligibility, families must be registered with the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER). If you haven’t completed the NSER survey, you risk missing out on future payments.
بی آئی ایس پی کفالت 13,500 روپے نقد ادائیگی کے لیے کون اہل ہے؟
بی آئی ایس پی کفالت پروگرام خاص طور پر پاکستان کے سب سے کمزور طبقات کی مدد کے لیے بنایا گیا ہے۔ تاہم، ہر کوئی اس امداد کا اہل نہیں ہے۔ درج ذیل اہلیت کے معیارات ہیں:
کم آمدنی والے خاندان: وہ گھرانے جو غربت کی لکیر سے نیچے زندگی گزار رہے ہوں اور جن کے پاس مستقل آمدنی کے ذرائع نہ ہوں۔
بیوہ، مطلقہ خواتین اور معذور افراد: مالی مدد سے محروم خواتین اور معذور افراد کو خصوصی طور پر شامل کیا جاتا ہے۔
کوئی بڑے اثاثے نہ ہوں: وہ خاندان جو مہنگی جائیداد، کاروبار یا گاڑیوں کے مالک ہوں، انہیں اس پروگرام سے خارج کر دیا جاتا ہے۔
کوئی دوسری سرکاری امداد نہ ملتی ہو: جو افراد پہلے سے ہی دیگر سرکاری امداد حاصل کر رہے ہوں، وہ اس پروگرام کے اہل نہیں ہو سکتے۔
درست قومی شناختی کارڈ (CNIC): درخواست دہندگان کو پاکستانی شہری ہونا چاہیے اور ان کے پاس درست کمپیوٹرائزڈ قومی شناختی کارڈ (CNIC) ہونا ضروری ہے۔
اہلیت کو یقینی بنانے کے لیے، خاندانوں کا قومی سماجی و اقتصادی رجسٹری (NSER) میں رجسٹرڈ ہونا ضروری ہے۔ اگر آپ نے NSER سروے مکمل نہیں کیا ہے، تو آپ مستقبل کی ادائیگیوں سے محروم ہو سکتے ہیں۔
اس لیے، اگر آپ اس پروگرام کے اہل ہیں، تو فوری طور پر NSER سروے مکمل کریں تاکہ آپ اس مالی امداد سے مستفید ہو سکیں۔
