Second phase of Benazir Kafalat new payment
The Benazir Income Support Program has officially released the quarterly payments for January to March 2025 to the beneficiaries of the Benazir Kafalat Program. Like last time, BISP is making payments in phases to ensure the payment system is fast and efficient. And the first phase has been officially launched from April 11, which will include 86 districts across different provinces of the country. It may be recalled that the number of districts included in the first phase was 104 when the first phase was launched but later this number was reduced to 86.
Since the beneficiaries of more than 55 percent of the districts have not been paid yet, the beneficiaries of these districts are interested in knowing whether their districts are going to be covered under the second phase or not. So I give good news to such beneficiaries: the names of the districts covered under the second phase of payments have been officially announced.
Here in this article, I will give the names of all these districts and other information so that such beneficiaries can be fully guided. Therefore, I request you to read this article till the end so that you have complete and authentic information and you do not face any kind of difficulties in terms of payments.
Districts covered under the second phase of Benazir Kafalat payments
First of all, let us talk about which districts have been included in the second phase of Benazir Kafalat Program payments and what are the latest updates from BISP in this regard. So, let me tell you that this time BISP payments are being given in only two phases. The first one is now underway which includes 86 districts of the country.
As I have mentioned in the first article, initially 104 districts were taken for the first phase, but later it was increased to 86 districts and the remaining districts were allocated for the second phase. These districts were excluded from the first phase on technical grounds.
These include Khairpur, Harnai, Ziarat, Sibi, Lakki Marwat, Okara, Sheikhupura, Ghotki, Zhob, Loralai, Daki, Banir, Havelian, Geyser, Gujranwala, Wazirabad, Layyah and Bahawalpur. All of them have been taken up in the second phase.
Moreover, all the remaining districts that were not included in the first phase are being included in the second phase. Thus, women who benefit from the Kafalat program need not worry or doubt whether their district will be included or not because the second phase is for all the districts that were left out in the first phase.
When will payments start in the areas covered under the second phase?
Now let’s talk about when payments will start in the areas covered under the second phase. Earlier it was heard that the second phase payment would be made in the first week of May but now looking at the situation, it does not seem likely. This is because at present about 50 percent of women are waiting for payments in the first phase as well.
So, if we estimate based on this condition, the second phase is expected to start in the second week of May. But still, no final date or information has been made public by BISP. The moment any new information or announcement is issued by BISP, complete details will be provided to you at the same time so that you people can make your payments on time.
Procedure for receiving payments in the second phase
And now we discuss the question that you always ask: What is the procedure for receiving payments in the second phase? So in this regard, I have informed you once before, and for your guidance I will inform you again that the process of receiving payments in the second phase will be the same as before. That is, you can get the payments only by visiting the specific payment center of the Benazir Program in the second phase. But I am giving some necessary instructions here for your information, by following which you can get your payment on time.
To get the payments on time, you have to take extra care that the mobile number you provided at the BISP office during registration is active at that time. Because immediately after the payments are released by BISP, you will receive an SMS on the same number informing you about the release of the payments. Secondly, your people should take extra care to ensure that when they proceed to collect the payments, they carry their original identity card with them and that it is not expired.
