Benazir Kafalat Program July-September 2025 3rd Phase Payments Update. The Benazir Kafalat Program, under the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP), provides financial assistance to poor and deserving families in Pakistan. Currently, quarterly payments for July to September are ongoing. Many people are asking if the third phase of payments worth Rs. 13,500 has started. This guide provides accurate and official information for beneficiaries.
Overview of Benazir Kafalat Program
The Benazir Kafalat Program is one of the largest social support programs in Pakistan, offering regular financial assistance to eligible families.
The current quarterly installment payments for July to September are being processed. Recently, there has been confusion on social media claiming that the third phase of 8171 Kafalat payments has begun and people are eligible to receive Rs. 13,500. It is important for beneficiaries to know the truth so they can avoid misinformation and ensure safe receipt of payments.
Currently, BISP is distributing payments to beneficiaries from districts included in the first and second phases. No official announcement has been made about the formal start of the third phase or which districts will be included.
Some social media channels and YouTube videos are sharing unverified claims that the third phase has started, but there is no confirmation on the official BISP website or the 8171 portal. Beneficiaries are advised to rely only on official information and avoid trusting rumors circulating online.
Third Phase: Expected Districts and Schedule
The third phase is expected to include districts that were not part of the first two phases. If BISP completes payments in three phases, the remaining districts will be included in the third phase. If the government decides to split payments into four phases, a fourth phase will cover any districts not included in the first three phases. The schedule for this will be officially announced by BISP.
