The Ehsaas Kafalat program, a flagship social safety net initiative by the Government of Pakistan, is set to kickstart its next phase of payments. In a recent development, it has been announced that 9000 Ehsaas Kafalat payments will commence on the 5th of September. This program aims to provide financial assistance to vulnerable families across the country, ensuring their economic well-being and social upliftment. The payments will be accessible through various channels, including ATMs of HBL and ALFALAH banks, as well as Ehsaas NADRA registration centers.
How do you get 9000 Ehsaas Kafalat?
Starting from September 5th, eligible beneficiaries of the Ehsaas Kafalat program can expect to receive their payments through designated channels. These channels include ATM services of leading banks such as HBL and ALFALAH. Additionally, Ehsaas NADRA registration centers will facilitate the payment distribution process, ensuring accessibility to a broader demographic.
Presently, around 70% of the population in Pakistan is grappling with poverty, while only 30% enjoy a more comfortable life. The government has initiated several programs aimed at bridging the gap between these two segments of the population.
These initiatives aim to provide financial aid to the less fortunate, thereby elevating their quality of life and granting them the ability to live independently.
Even before the elections, the Pakistani government had pledged to implement such programs, and it has delivered on this promise. The primary objective behind these efforts is to alleviate poverty and enhance social welfare.
These programs are being executed effectively. Additionally, two other noteworthy initiatives have been introduced: the Ehsaas Emergency Cash Program and the Ehsaas Kafalat Program.

Shazia Marri, a prominent figure, recently visited the Ehsaas Registration Desk at Government Boys High School, Walton Road, Lahore. During her visit, she conducted a comprehensive review of the Ehsaas (ISIS) Program registration arrangements. The initiative boasts a network of 512 Ehsaas registration desks spread across the country, with 11 located in Lahore alone. These desks are dedicated to registering families who have yet to be included in the Ehsaas survey, further emphasizing the government’s commitment to inclusivity.
Eligibility Criteria of Ehsaas Kafalat Program
- Requirement: A woman with a valid identity card within the family.
- Eligibility: Family man or divorced woman applicants.
- Condition: Registrants must be accompanied by a disabled or mentally ill person.
- Eligibility extended to: Individuals in the Pakistan Army, and those receiving government pension or retirement benefits.

Inclusion of Special Persons
An integral aspect of the Ehsaas Kafalat program is its emphasis on aiding the disabled (Special) individuals, who are among the most deserving members of Pakistani society. A specialized help desk has been established to cater specifically to the needs of disabled individuals. This desk provides a range of benefits, including obtaining disability certificates, obtaining special CNICs for disabled persons, and free registration for the Ehsaas ka Pehla program.
National Inclusion Drive
The ongoing registration drive is a crucial step towards the broader inclusion of 2 million deserving families of special persons under the Ehsaas Kafalat program. This drive aims to uplift marginalized segments of the population by providing them with financial assistance and opportunities for socio-economic growth.
Ehsaas Raabta Mobile App
In a technological stride to enhance accessibility, the Government of Pakistan, led by Shazia Marri, has introduced the Ehsaas Raabta Mobile App. This application has been developed to facilitate Ehsas Sarfeen (beneficiaries) by providing a user-friendly platform to access information and services related to the program. The Ehsaas App can be conveniently downloaded from the Google Play Store, making it easier for beneficiaries to stay informed and engaged with the program.
Conclusion
The initiation of the 9000 Ehsaas Kafalat payments from September 5th marks a significant milestone in the Government of Pakistan’s commitment to uplifting vulnerable families. The program’s multifaceted approach, encompassing various payment channels, registration desks, and the introduction of the Ehsaas Raabta Mobile App, signifies a comprehensive effort to ensure inclusivity and accessibility. As the program continues to evolve, it stands as a beacon of hope for millions, promising a brighter and more secure future for all.
