BISP Kafalat Phase 3 Begins – Check If You’re Eligible & Get Rs. 13,500 Support

If you’re a woman struggling to make ends meet in today’s inflation-hit Pakistan, there’s some good news. The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has kicked off Kafalat Phase 3, starting from May 26, 2025, and it’s already helping thousands of women across the country. In this latest phase, eligible women will receive a quarterly payment of Rs. 13,500, and the process is now smoother and more accessible than ever.

What’s New in BISP Kafalat Phase 3?

This time around, Phase 3 is not just a continuation of the earlier BISP aid. It’s an upgrade in many ways.

For one, the government has added more districts, meaning more women especially in rural areas are getting included. Secondly, this phase is focused on those who’ve been left out in earlier rounds: widows, divorced women, disabled individuals, and female-headed households. So if your husband is jobless, or you’re the main provider in your home, you now stand a real chance to get financial support.
