Government Approves Major Increase in BISP Budget for 2025–26

In a bold move to support Pakistan’s most vulnerable households, the federal government has raised the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) budget for the fiscal year 2025–26. The allocation now stands at Rs. 716 billion, reflecting a historic 20% increase from last year’s Rs. 592 billion. This uplift comes with a key announcement: quarterly payments for BISP beneficiaries will rise from Rs. 13,500 to Rs. 14,500, starting January 2026.

بینظیر انکم سپورٹ پروگرام کا نیا بجٹ: ۷۱۶ ارب روپے کی منظوری

حکومتِ پاکستان نے مالی سال 2025-26 کے لیے بینظیر انکم سپورٹ پروگرام کا بجٹ بڑھا کر 716 ارب روپے کر دیا ہے۔ یہ اضافہ مہنگائی سے متاثرہ غریب خاندانوں کی مدد کے لیے کیا گیا ہے تاکہ وہ بنیادی ضروریات زندگی کو پورا کر سکیں۔

ادائیگیوں میں اضافہ: اب ہر سہ ماہی 14500 روپے دیے جائیں گے

بینظیر انکم سپورٹ پروگرام کے تحت مستحق خاندانوں کو اب ہر تین ماہ بعد 14500 روپے دیے جائیں گے، جو کہ پہلے 13500 روپے تھے۔ اس فیصلے سے تقریباً ایک کروڑ خاندانوں کو براہ راست فائدہ پہنچے گا۔

Why the Budget Was Increased

The expanded BISP budget is more than just a number—it’s a lifeline for low-income families. Here’s what’s behind the hike:

  • Rising inflation is hitting poor households hardest.

  • Stagnant wages have made it harder to afford essentials.

  • Healthcare, education, and food insecurity need urgent attention.

  • Support for 10 million families requires more resources.

  • Collaboration with World Bank and provinces needs sustained funding.

This increase reflects a more inclusive and long-term social safety strategy.

What’s Changing: Payment Boost From January 2026

Beginning in January 2026, the new quarterly payment of Rs. 14,500 will be disbursed to all eligible beneficiaries. The Rs. 1,000 increase may seem modest, but for millions living below the poverty line, this adjustment helps them keep pace with rising costs for:

  • Food

  • Medicines

  • School supplies

  • Transportation

This change aims to protect the real value of cash transfers amid inflation.

BISP’s 2025 Performance So Far

As of March 2025, BISP had disbursed Rs. 347 billion—a record 82.6% increase from the same period last year. This shows the program is on track to hit its annual goals and handle the larger Rs. 716 billion budget effectively.

The early success also builds confidence in:

  • Faster payment delivery

  • Improved monitoring systems

  • Broader provincial outreach
