Benazir Kafaalat Program New Registration

Keeping in mind the increasing poverty rate in the country, the Government of Pakistan has once again started the registration of the Benazir Kafaalat Program. After this initiative of the Government of Pakistan, women belonging to poor and deserving families can complete their registration and receive financial assistance of Rs.13,500 on a quarterly basis. The program’s goal is to help women who are their family’s only income source. So that they can use this financial assistance to meet the needs of their families. 

Therefore, if you also belong to one of these poor or deserving families, then you can complete your registration process by following a few easy steps. Here in this article, I will provide you with the complete procedure for joining this program and the eligibility criteria set by the government to be a part of this program and other necessary details. So that you people do not have to face any kind of difficulties in completing your registration.

For your guidance, let me once again tell you that currently, the government provides cash financial assistance of Rs.13,500 to the women benefiting from this program on a quarterly basis. And the most encouraging thing is that in the next few months, this financial assistance will be increased to Rs.14,500, which has also been formally announced.

What Is Benazir Kafaalat Program?

Before moving forward in the article, it is very important to first know what the Benazir Kafalat Program is. So, to guide you, let me tell you that this program launched at the government level is one of the largest social security programs working in Pakistan, which works especially for women. This program was launched in the year 2008 by the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shaheed Benazir Bhutto, and was especially for widows at that time. At that time, the aim of this program was to provide financial support only to widows so that their lives could be made easier and they did not have to be a burden on anyone. However, keeping in mind the increasing poverty in the country, this program was expanded to poor and deserving women across the country with the passage of time. So that every woman who belongs to a poor or deserving family and is facing financial difficulties can benefit from this program.

It would not be wrong to say that the Kafalat program is another name for poverty alleviation because if you look at it, the government of Pakistan seems to be very committed to this program. According to current data, about 9.5 million women are currently benefiting from this program. And the government of Pakistan has set a target of taking this number to about one crore by the end of this year. This is why the registration of this program is going on in full swing.

Because many women believe that every woman is included in this program, I will consider it necessary to tell them a few things here to guide them. To remove the misconceptions of such women, let me tell you that strict eligibility criteria have been set by the government of Pakistan to be a part of this program. Therefore, only women who meet these eligibility criteria can become a part of this program. Let us now move forward and tell you what the eligibility criteria are for joining this program and what the prescribed registration procedure is for joining this program.

Let us move forward and know whether it is actually possible to complete the registration online or not. So, to guide all such women, let me tell you that to date, the BISP does not provide any facility to complete the registration of the Kafalat program online, nor is it possible.
