With the latest information, approximately 10 million women are presently taking benefit under the scheme who receive Rs.13,500 in the form of cash support provided to them every three months by BISP.
But recently, new news has been announced by the BISP about this program, as per which it has been decided to exclude around 1.6 million women from the Kafalat program in the coming few days. These are women whose PMT score crossed the threshold or who failed to complete their NSER survey on time.
