The Benazir Income Support Program in Pakistan is an extremely vital source of relief for many thousands of families who are benefiting from the different programs that it offers. Under this broad umbrella, two key programs include Benazir Kafalats and Benazir Taleemi Wazaifs. This paper is going to examine the latest developments in these programs with a specific focus on payments and what beneficiaries should expect in the coming days.
Benazir Kafalat Program: Pending Installments
Disbursement of the final installment of the Benazir Kafalat Programme has been delayed due to an administrative issue. Consequently, regular beneficiaries were disbursed their installments of Rs. 8500. Nevertheless, most of the beneficiaries have not yet received the last cheque of Rs. 9000.
18000 Nawaz Sharif Benazir Taleemi Wazaif Program
Do not panic if you happen to be in this case. As per the BISP policy by the Government of Pakistan, every regular beneficiary who does not have any ongoing issues in their accounts received one payment along with the quarterly installment of the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif program due for the forthcoming quarter. Therefore, if you didn’t get your payment for the period of the last quarter of 2009, you have something to be glad about since you are still considered to be eligible by the 8171 web portal. It will be a double payment, equivalent to Two Thousand Pakistani Rupees. The other includes people numbering about 18,000 who joined the program before September 21st without receiving their first-semester cases.
