With the recent installment of the Quarterly Benazir Kafaalat payment of 10,500 rupees covering January to March 2024, coupled with an additional amount of 2000 rupees specifically allocated for Balochistan province, beneficiaries have received much-needed financial support. Moreover, amidst the recent holiday on 23rd March, questions have surfaced regarding the continuation of payments and eligibility criteria for additional assistance.

Similarly, Sindh and Balochistan have introduced their initiatives to provide financial assistance, ensuring that vulnerable families receive the support they require during challenging times.
