Benazir Kafalat’s New Registration Started After Eid
The Benazir Kafalat Program is Pakistan’s largest unconditional cash transfer initiative, operated under the Benazir Income Support Program for Women. It offers a stipend of Rs 10,500 every three months to women and transgender individuals from economically disadvantaged families. Initially, funds were distributed through special campsites of partner banks nationwide, but currently, payments are facilitated through designated sites established by the BISP.
