According to government announcements, the first batch of Rs. 13,500 payments is expected to start rolling out in October 2025, likely in the second or third week. The disbursement will happen in phases, considering how many beneficiaries are involved.
Payments will be made via partner banks, BISP payment centers, and biometric-enabled ATMs. Also, those who complete verification processes in 2025 will be included in the first payment round.
Who Will Get the October 2025 Payment?
- Current Beneficiaries — those already enrolled under the Benazir Kafalat program
- Newly Registered Women — if you’ve recently done your NSER survey and meet the criteria
- 4 Million New Families — the government has announced expanding the program to include 4 million more households
