BISP, The Pakistani government has made another significant step to help low-income households by expanding cash aid under the Benazir Income Support Programme.
After increasing the stipend to Rs. 14,500 in 2026, the government has now authorized another hike. Starting in January 2027, qualified families would earn Rs. 19,500 every quarter.
Why is the stipend going up?
Rising inflation is the primary cause of the rise from Rs. 14,500 to Rs. 19,500 (an additional Rs. 5,000). Costs of:
Gas, electricity, and food
have grown dramatically.
The government made the decision to increase the stipend in order to assist low-income households in maintaining their purchasing power. This would lessen the stress of everyday costs and offer greater financial assistance.
