How to Receive the Double Stipend for the Benazir Kafalat Programm
The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) is one of the largest welfare initiatives in Pakistan, designed to provide financial assistance to low-income families. As part of its ongoing efforts to support the most vulnerable, BISP has announced a double stipend for eligible beneficiaries. This guide will explain how you can receive this enhanced support, the registration process, eligibility criteria, and other key details you need to know before the deadline of November 30, 2024.
Important Message from BISP Officials
BISP officials have confirmed that eligible beneficiaries can receive double the usual stipend under the Benazir Kafalat Programme. This means that instead of the standard stipend amount, beneficiaries will receive an increased payment of 10,500 PKR + 10,500 PKR. However, it’s important to understand that only those who meet the eligibility criteria will qualify for this additional payment.

Eligibility Criteria
To ensure that only deserving families benefit from the double stipend, BISP has set specific eligibility criteria.
You must meet the following requirements to qualify:
1. Active Registration in BISP: You must already be enrolled in the Benazir Kafalat Programme and receiving regular payments.
2. Verified Household Data: Your household data, including your CNIC number, must be correctly updated in the BISP database. If your information is outdated or incorrect, it may affect your eligibility for the double stipend.
3. Successful Verification: Your registration must be fully verified, including biometric verification. If you have any pending verifications, such as biometric updates, you need to complete these before qualifying for the increased stipend.
4. No Pending Issues with BISP: Ensure there are no issues related to your payment or registration status. If there are any outstanding problems, such as missing documents or incomplete verification steps, they must be resolved for you to receive the double stipend.
5. Household Poverty Score: BISP uses a poverty scorecard to assess the financial need of applicants. If your household qualifies based on this scorecard, you will be eligible for the double stipend.

Procedure to Receive the Double Stipend
Receiving the double stipend requires you to follow these simple steps:
1. Check Payment Status: The first step is to verify your payment status. You can check whether you are eligible for the double stipend by sending your CNIC number to 8171 via SMS or by visiting the official BISP website.
2. Visit Your Nearest BISP Center (if necessary): If your payment status shows that you are eligible, but there are any discrepancies in your registration, or if your biometric verification is pending, you will need to visit the nearest BISP registration center. There, you can update your information and complete any necessary verification steps.
3. Biometric Verification: If you haven’t already completed biometric verification, visit a designated BISP center to get this done. This is an essential step for ensuring that your payment is processed without any delays.
4. Confirmation of Payment: Once your status has been verified, and all updates are completed, confirm the payment date. Double stipend payments are generally credited directly to the mobile wallet linked to your CNIC (such as EasyPaisa, JazzCash, etc.), or you may receive it at an approved payment center.
5. Collect Your Payment: The double stipend payment, totaling 21,000 PKR (10,500 PKR + 10,500 PKR), will be available through designated disbursement points. Make sure to collect your payment before the cutoff date of November 30, 2024.
