Assalam-o-Alaikum friends!
Good news for all Benazir Kafalat Program beneficiaries! The government has confirmed that multiple pending installments are being released soon – including children’s education stipends and regular Kafalat payments. As per the latest updates in January 2026, many families will receive up to 5 installments together within one month. This includes:
- Pending Kafalat installments (Oct–Dec 2025)
- Children’s Wazifa payments (education stipends) for the same period
- First installment of 2026
Total amount can go from Rs 25,000 to 60,000+ depending on your family size and number of school-going children (girls get higher priority and extra incentive payments to encourage female education).
